Sky News keep using choice words to describe Obama's travel. "President Elect Obama has arrived at the mall, where he going to be taken out (long pause) for his speech in just under an hour"

Yeah we vote for the party and the beliefs they had. However saying that, and thinking about it, Tony Blair won it labour with his charisma, smile and party attitude. Which was the complete opposite of John Major at the time, the Conservative PM, and look where that got us...

I don't know, I sometimes think we don't really give a shit about Politics anymore. I don't know if thats because we've stopped caring or what. EDIT: So far watching this Inauguration has been like watching a really uneventful episode of 24. All the camera within camera shots, secret service everywhere... and a bad limo driver.

Still amazes me the spectacle you guys put into the whole election thing.

haha aye, remember everyone have huge orgasims over that gash in Holly's back. They wanted him to have world title shots and everything for that.

Relive your favorite deaths over and over again! http://www.bauercount.com/

I'll agree with what my mate said, Bob Holly does have a pretty good standing drop kick. Maven and Holly should have had a standing drop kick feud to see who could jump the highest and drop kick a Melon off Big Show's head or something.

Watching some older WWF stuff from 97 (Hart v Austin) has drawn me in a lot more then any recent wrestling. For some reason they seem to put the in ring drama across a lot more then they do now. Facial emotions and selling seemed to be a lot better back then, then currently being shown in the WWE.

The Browns fan in me says: FUCK THE STEELERS.

I'm not sure WWE and UFC will ever work together again. For someone reason I think Vince feels burned by Dana, he plugged the UFC pretty heavily throughout 96/97, and took Severn and Shamrock in return. While that might have been a nice exchange, no doubt Vince feels he made the UFC what it is today by giving them 'time' on his product. Now the UFC is hotter then wrestling and wants nothing to do with it.

UK Children's TV presenter and art expert Tony Hart has passed away at 83. Don't think anyone would have had him on their list though. http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090118/tuk-t...es-6323e80.html

Aye, I was reading about that yesterday. It MIGHT be out in Japan on the PS3 this year, but they promised they wouldn't release it elsewhere until the JAP PS3 version was complete.

Nigel Clough didn't do much did he?

Time signature on it, please?

When my girlfriend talks about what her friends did today. I always interject 'Did they Lez out?' as she starts, she promptly says no, doesn't get the hint I'm not interested, and carrys on to tell me what mundane thing they did.

Get more traffic and answers in the PS3 thread, me thinks.

I've had it lag between loading screens on the 360 version. Though it only happened the once, I had been playing Fallout3 for about 6 hours straight at the time, so it was quite possible the game/machine needed a rest.

I can't believe Randy Newman wrote a song for Kinetic's video about Bob Barron. That's the sway he has around these here parts.

Depends who's trying to buy. Any player Man City go for now will have an extra £5-£10m slapped on their price tag, as its Man City. The same used to happen to Chelsea. People know they have money, so will try and fleece them. Saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if FIFA stepped in at some point if Man City keep throwing out these crazy £100m+ deals to get their players. January Transfer window will also add a few extra millions to a deal too, as clubs don't really want to sell their best players half way through the season and be left with less then 30 days to find a replacement of equal value.

Anyone get it? Anyone want to team up and play? Haven't tried it yet, as I was in two minds as to I should open it or not (was going to send it back to save some money before Christmas).

I'm a bus and bath reader, in that I'll usually read when I'm on the bus going to and from work, or in the bath. I need something new to read - anything will do. If I enjoy it, I'll let you know.

Football (Soccer) for Americans There's been a few people on the board who have shown interesting in learning about Football (Soccer), and wish to learn more about it, the various leagues and teams, etc. This thread will hopefully help introduce everyone unfamiliar with Football to the sport. It'll contain various sections on the sport throughout the Thread, with each section linked back to the first post for easy reference and access. Questions are welcome, and hopefully we can spread the joy of Football (Soccer) to everyone interested, and introduce an element of interest into those originally not. Contents - The Rules - The Leagues Rules A Football game is governed by a set of rules as set by FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association), which are then observed and enforced on the field by a Referee and his Team. Unlike other sports there are no video referees in the modern game of Football, however, recently Women Referees have been allowed to referee at Professional level in the English Football League. Standard games last 90 minutes split into two halves of 45mins each, plus any extra time added for stoppages (injuries for example) the Referee has added on. Any extra time will be indicated towards the end of each half by the Fourth Official. Some games, such as Cup or Tournament games can go longer if teams are still drawn by the end of regulation time. If scores are still equal at the end of the extra time then the game goes into penalties. Referee Covers the whole of the pitch and is the 'Head' Referee of the match. Will consult with his Assistant Referees if they had a better view of incidents before making a decision. The referee's decision during the match is final, they can over rule decision made by the Assistant Referee in regards to offsides or throw ins. The Referee is also the time keeper, logging any extra time needed to be displayed by the Fourth Official. Assistant Referee There are usually 2 Assistant Referees in a game, and they will govern the side lines of the field. One Assistant Referee will stick to one side line on one half of the pitch, and the other Assistant Referee will run the other side line in the other half to cover the best range of the field without being stretched. They generally flag for Offsides and Throw Ins. Though they can also give their take on a situation if the Referee asks for it, usually regarding tackles on the side line, off the ball incidents or penalty kicks. Fourth Official Responsible for making sure the substitutions are legal and recorded, and that they don't enter the field of play with any illegal objects (rings, earrings, necklaces, etc) uncovered. The Fourth Official is also the replacement Referee should the match day ref become injured or ill. Offside http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offside_(association_football) Bookings and fouls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foul_(football) If a player commits a bad foul, then they'll receive a yellow card - 2 yellow cards and the player is sent off. If the player commits a dangerous or professional foul (last player/line of defense before the goal) then they'll receive a red card. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misconduct_(football) Red Card Professional Foul - no intention to win the ball. Clearly stopping the player from a goal scoring opportunity. Violent Conduct - Fighting, kicking, spitting to fellow players, referees or fans. Dangerous Tackles - 2 Footed off the ground challenges, or worse. Yellow Card Goals A team can score a goal by putting the ball into the oppositions goal. As long as the whole of the ball completely crosses the goal line, it will be classed as a goal. If any portion of the ball is still on the goal line, then its still classed as in play.

Hero of the Hudson! People are going nuts over this guy ditching into the river, he's the hero of the hour! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/22/20090116/tts-u...rk-13002c7.html

Its ok, but online is a complete shambles and just as bad as GoW still is. Host advantage and Shotgun is unbeatable, and the various glitches just ruin the whole enjoyment.

Ah yeah, totally forgot it led to Davros coming back - but he was such a bitch that he seemed worthless.
