  1. and haha, what a dick. the ones on just now aren't very good I must say, but it gets added to every day, sometimes there's a dozen or so piss funny ones!
  2. hahaha. i love the xzibit ones, so funny. and Dan the squirrels are awesome. I checked them all out on glory glory. haha, so funny.
  3. it sounds to me that Bond have let their PMRs slip (possibly as a cash saving exercise?) I don't know. Like I said before, although Bristows, Scotia and Bond all probably have (very) similar business plans/ethics/bottom lines etc etc and so are in teh same situation as each other, I am still gratefull that I am not flying on Bonds, in particular 2nd gen Super Pumas. Be that because I have been influenced by the media or not, it is what it is!
  4. a website that I frequently visit for a few laughs is: Fmylife - FML : Your everyday life stories.. FML - Fuck My Life. Basically people just sharing stories of RUBBISH things that have happened to them. But some of them are fucking hilarious. (Relatively SFW, just looks like a BLOG site)
  5. ^^ that was more my point. also, it doesn't really affect me as I (my flats) have a private car park. Was just thinking about people visiting (when the car park is full) I still think it's a bent as fuck rule though.
  6. why? all day every other day both sides of the road has parked cars, and there is still space for 2 lanes of traffic. why would a match day be any different? bit of a kick in the teeth for the people who live there, where are they supposed to park their cars when there's a game on???
  7. of course it will, just like speeding tickets to police cars/ambulances. one interesting point that I haven't fully understood yet: I live on Park road, very close to seaforth road. (as it happens the flat has a private car park but often this is full) am I right in thinking that residents of the area can't park on these roads when there is a football match on?
  8. word out here is massive gear box failure. but again, don't know how much truth to that or what channels that information has come through. but it's usually pretty acurate. the rate that information filters through out here is staggering.

    yeah i think he just picked at random a high odds horse. although you have to ask yourself, anyone who can afford to drop 100 on a 100/1 outsider either has a) just way too much money, or b) loses more often that he wins!! But regardless, a 10,000 win is certainly something I'd like to have!! That's fo' sho'!!

    Formula One 2009

    but back on topic, great racing so far this year! Looking forward to the rest of the season and I hope this rear diffuser situation gets sorted out quickly because as someone else pointed out (forget who, sorry) it reflects bad on the sport when there are constant legal/rule issues being contested off the track. Also, I'm glad the fatal video links have stopped. Not what I read this thread for and I for one have no interest in seeing anyone die. That's just my opinion though. The differences between the cars of today and a few years ago can quite easily be pointed out without the need to view (and get entertainment from) someone dying.

    Formula One 2009

    i disagree i think hamilton is doing very well with a poor car. (compared to the Braun, Williams, Toyota and even BMW) In qualifying he doesn't have the time (no pun intended) to "race" his way to the front. And so doesn't get good positions. But on race day, he proves what a good racer he really is and in both races so far has consistently caught up a bunch of places throughout the race. As for the disqualification in the Australian GP the results of this have been made public but aren't on here so in summary: Trulli ran wide whilst under waved yellows. Hamilton had no option to overtake. (what was he going to do? stop entirely?) But unsure if what he did was legal, asked over the radio if he should let trulli past. Unsure, Dave Ryan advised Hamilton to let Trulli passed. - Not knowing that Trulli had actually gone off the track due to driver error. (Hamilton was perfectly within his rights to keep his position.) Regardless, Trulli went back passed. Had this been the end of it, and Hamilton/Ryan been honest about what was said over the radio, then race officials would have switched the results because Hamilton had let Trulli back past when he didn't need to. (so effectively Trulli passed Hamilton under the safety car) BUT under the investigation, Dave Ryan told race officials that he never told Hamilton to let Trulli past. And Hamilton, being young (and I suspect, didn't want to let his boss down by not agreeing with him) agreed that this was the case. Race officials got hold of the radio transcripts, realised that Ryan and Hamilton had lied so gave them the boot. In a nut shell.

    true story, I was watching the GN out here on the rigs with about 20 or so other people around in one of the TV lounges. (betting is big offshore lol! - this was just the non-smoking lounge!) anyway, chap next to me had 100 on Nom Nome to win at 100/1. Fucking 10 grand he won!! I on the other hand, won exactly diddly squat.
  13. haha. that's pretty good. brightened up my morning.
  14. i disagree. ok, you're right in saying that it wouldn't be reported nationally. but the RTB or however this one is categorised as WILL get cascaded through offshore networks. I for one am thankful that I am not flying on Super Puma's anymore...especially the 2nd gen ones. to be honest though, offshore, apart from a few sobering/somber conversations with various people not much has changed. certainly not as far as i can see anyway. I don't like the risks involved and to be perfectly honest don't need the money that much. It's nice, but I am glad that I have only commited to a 1 year contract this time around. Another point worth noting is that the vast majority of helicopter incidents occur during either take off or landing (or approach). THIS one happened during cruise. Indicating a catastrophic failure that i am VERY GLAD there is a public enquiry into!
  15. correct, edinburgh was pulled because fell silent cancelled and the perth one had already been cancelled. but sunday and monday are still going ahead (aberdeen and glasgow).
  16. Two 'shooter' PS3 games for sale: Time Crisis 4 with light gun (in mint condition) - 30 SOCOM:Confrontation (this is the multiplayer only game) - 15 I also have a PS3 branded wireless (bluetooth) headset available. Although it can also be used with any bluetooth enabled device (phone, car stereo, etc) - 10
  17. Ok, so this is still going, sort or left it for a while. See the link in the first post for item description. Will sell for 400. Which I think is a very reasonable price. MAY be willing to haggle. (so, bump)
  18. because they might be interested where it was recorded? Why does anyone tell anyone anything? ...because it might (hopefully does) interest them...or simply for information. Either way I hardly see it as a point worth contesting. (any more) /end.
  19. some cunny funt has STOLE my copy of Empire Records...i don't even know how that is possible...I never loaned it to anyone, that i can remember. regardless, it no longer rests on my dvd case... :-(
  20. paridian are gonna slay! and fell silent are just spectactular!
