I don't get it, did I miss something?

So Benoit is now to WWE what Voldermort is to Harry Potter? He Who Shall Not Be Named? Still, nice episode of ECW, the Punk/Burke match was very good, and in all honesty, I'm glad Nitro was Cena's oppenant, as when I heard "champion vs champion match" my first reaction was "fuck, not Cena/Edge again!". Guess i forgot about the ECW title. Which by the way does look very indy-rific. And it was good to see Hot Rod, even if Stiker only did his impression for like a second. It would have been hillarious if he'd have spoken like Piper the whole way through the segment.

I'm torn after watching RAW. I cried big time when he won the rumble and some of the testimonys (Punks, Edges and Chavos in particualr) but then I remembered the cirumstances surrounding their deaths and I felt guilty for crying. But I don't want to remember Benoit that way. I just feel sick.

I'm still in shock. And if it has been confirmed by the cops, then I retract my RIP comment made earlier.

And for the first time since I joined here I believe. And I actually got one match wrong, I though Melina was going to win, not that it mattered or anything. It was a shitty PPV with a RAW worthy main event. The CW match was pretty good and got longer than I would have thought, but Jimmy didn't win so I'm not happy about it. And I'm also on the "sick of Cena" bandwagon. I know he's the most over star on the roster and he sells loads of merchandise blah blah blah, but seriously, it looks like NO ONE can beat him. Everytime I see him win a title match, I get the feeling he's going to be champion untill the day he dies.

I got a text from my friend this morning saying "I cried when i found out about Benoit", and because I was half asleep I assumed he'd only just discovered he'd been drafted to ECW. Then I came on here as I had a bad feeling about the message and I find 27 pages of this thread. I was upset at first and nearly cried on a few occasions, its a truly sad day. And now it turns out he MAY have killed his family? I just feel sick. I'll pay my respects now, but I'm not passing judgement on anyone untill I know all the details. RIP.

I personally thought Manhunt was a bit shit too. But thats only because I don't like games where I have to sneak around. I can't stand stealthy games.

This game will be the fucking tits.

Fuck! I completely forgot! I'll have to tune in next week.

As long as they start to chokeslam each other through flaming tables, Im for it.

Speaking of Simon Diamond, remember when he was on the commentary desk during a DiTR tag match. He was pure gold. If anything, they need a heel dynamic behind the commentary as it adds a bit of flavour. JR/King havent been the same since Lawler became a face. I was watching Rock/Angle/Taker at Vengance a few years back and the commentary was great due to heel Lawler cheering on the bad guys. Tenay and West just root for the faces and slate the heels, its boring.

The problem is that ratings boards are more strict with games than films as, they believe, that a child watching a violent movie is not as bad as a child PERFORMING the actions on the screen. I'm not agreeing with them and I don't believe in censoring art blah blah blah, but they are doing a smart thing.

If he ever gets over it.

Cena Edge Marella MVP Benoit Cade and Murdoch Chavo - I'd like to see Jimmy win, but if he does it would make Chavo look very weak as this would have been like the 20th time he's pinned him Melina - See above but replace Jimmy with Candice and Chavo with Melina D&D over probably the Major Brothers

Better than that is Spike is called Sparkle.

Samuel L Jackson AND John Cusack? I'm sold.

How does Harrison look that young?

Two weeks ago, i was having pains in my lower right side and around my shoulder. The only way to describe the pain is that it felt like it was pulling down on my ribs and through that I was struggeling to breathe. I went to see my GP and they did some tests and came to the conclusion that I had burst some of the skin surrounding my right lung, nothing major, apparently it happens all the time to people of my frame and height. It heals itself over, no biggie. But they told me to go to the doctors to get an xray to get it confirmed. I went to the doctors (and guess what he told me) and had my X-Ray. And was told that my results would be at my GP in two weeks (TWO WEEKS?!). Now since then, ive moved back in with my parents in another town. So, i phone them up today and the nurse tells me that my X-Ray results say only "Abnormal, See Me Urgently". So im booked in for Friday (the only time I can get to go and see them). I havent had the pains for a while now, should I be worried? Thoughts?

Didn't we have this discussion like a few months ago? Anyways, Fall Out Boy's cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division. Pure trash. As for good covers, Bloodhound Gang's cover of It's Tricky by Run DMC.

Despite how horrible the spoilers looked on paper, the show was pretty good. Angle was really good in his speech, just like the old Angle. Joe winning the title is pretty bad, but at least he didn't pin Lethal. I can see Harris being the first person to pin Christian, in an atempt to really put him over in the main event scene. I'd like for them to do the same sort of thing for Storm. And is it just me, or is Raven starting to look in good shape again? I know he's not at his physical peek, but he's looking better than he did during his fued with Larry Z. He just needs to get rid of the blonde hair, it makes him look really ill.

I recently interviewed a member of the BBFC for my dissertation so I'm quite up on how the company works as far as ratings go. The BBFC have always seen themselves as "protectors of the public" and they got A LOT of flack for some of the choices they have made. Passing Dirty Sanchez Movie or Destricted got them into serious trouble with many people trying to get everyone fired and replaced with people who know what they are doing. With the growing violence in the UK, it's not suprising to me at all that BBFC have refused to rate it. I'm not saying that people who play this game will go out and copy the actions as I believe that people make their own choices and are NOT affected by TV/Games/Music. But a lot of people (the Daily Mail in particular) believe they do. The BBFC are just covering their backs. And as I already stated, the UK doesnt have an equvilant AO rating over here, the closest thing we have would be an R-18, meaning it can only be sold in licensed sex shops with the rest of the porn. Having said all that, I'm not sure I want to play a game where I can rape a headless corpse. Lord knows what you have to do with the Wiimote for that...

The best thing about that video is this post underneath it:

I don't get the complaints - it looks fine to me. Were you expecting skin-tight metallic spandex or something? The suit looks fine, he just looks a little stumpy. Like a Cartman version of Iron Man.

Exhibits A, B and C as to why I failed. Again, I blame MS Word.

So, i finished University like a month ago, and have had no luck in finding a job. I've applied for many places (even secretary work i'm that desperate for money - but I failed the spelling test four times). I was put forward by a job agency to be Program Controller at a local radio station given that I have experince of doing that role at my University radio statation. Although, I found out two days ago that they only wanted one person instead of two and they went for the other person as they'd already had the interview and training, despite not having the experince I had. Which bummed me out. Yesterday, I got my University results back: Although i was expecting more for my 10,000 word dissertation (I got 51%) I passed my degree with a 2:2 grade (the equvailent of a C) which I'm chuffed to bits with. I was even happeier to find out that i got a better dissertation mark than my housemates (but not my friend Steve who got 90%). And today, I get a phone call from the agency: The radio station decided they'd rather have me working for them due to my experience in the feild and superior qualifications. I have an interview tommorow and I'm so fucking happy! Thoughts?
