Barcelona are the European champions, right? And we just beat them over two legs, knocking them out of the Champions League, and hence making Liverpool the best team in Europe
We beat Barca last time we played them and beat Liverpool the last time we played them, so I guess we're the best team in the world.

Jamie Redknapp talks utter shite, nearly as bad as Lawro.

If a "documentary" by Durkin alone changed your views, I suggest you don't watch similar films about the CIA killing Kennedy, the moon landings being fake or Bush ordering 9/11 unless you want to be convinced into believing those as well.
I'd avoid watching his other work as well, such as "Silicon breast implants - if you don't buy them, you're going to get cancer", "GM food - if you want a study to see if it's safe then you're a hitler loving Nazi" and "Environmentalists kill puppies and vegetarians eat babies"
I'm not entirely sure how he still manages to get stuff commisioned, but Channel Four are in the shit again for giving him a mouthpiece for his gross distortion of facts and blatant mis-representing of the people he shows in his films (The genuine people that is, not his cronies from Living Marxism magazine he puts in as stand-in "experts")
I've no problem with people having a differing opinion, but it's a bit like someone saying "I saw a film by George Galloway and now I think the Iraq war was wrong after all" or "I just read one of Ann Coulter's books, I never realised how evil liberals are, now I hate them". The film disguised the fact that solar activity hasn't increased recently, while temperatures have because that would have cast doubt on the solar activity theory it was wanting to present. I wouldn't base your opinion on a film of half truths and outright lies.

Indeed, he's a right bullshit merchant. Before swallowing the stuff he put to you in his latest 'documentary' it might be worth reading this:

He's a mental marxist nutter who's always making films about how silicon implants prevent breast cancer, GM food is great, environmentalists are Nazis etc, all with the help of his mates from Communist magazine Living Marxism.

Climate change: An inconvenient truth... for C4By Geoffrey Lean, Environment Editor
Published: 11 March 2007
It was the television programme that set out to show that most of the world's climate scientists are misleading us when they say humanity is heating up the Earth by emitting carbon dioxide. And The Great Global Warming Swindle, screened by Channel 4 on Thursday night, convinced many viewers that it is indeed untrue that the gas is to blame for global warming.
But now the programme - and the channel - is facing a serious challenge to its own credibility after one of the most distinguished scientists that it featured said his views had been "grossly distorted" by the film, and made it clear that he believed human pollution did warm the climate.
Professor Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said he had been "completely misrepresented" by the programme, and "totally misled" on its content. He added that he is considering making a formal complaint.

Just applied for tickets to the UEFA cup final, how's that for optimism? :P

Apparently the last documentary this guy made got into trouble with the broadcasting watchdog for being "biased" and "falsifying facts." Take that as you will.

I like big butts and I cannot lie.
Or, more specifically, I like women who have a body like a woman rather than the body of a ten year old boy.

They don't just print out the picture from the website and stick it on the box you know. And everytime someone changes something on the cover they don't immediately call the web designers on the bat phone and get them to go through every single mock-up on their website and change it, only to change it back again the next day.
-
I've already given examples of when official box art has been different to what appears on shelves. There's even been differences between official boxart and the final packaging after the game has been released. If you're going to live by a mantra that once it's a month from release there is no way that there will ever be any differences between the mock-up on the website and the physical box, you'll end up tripping up sooner or later.

What I found most interesting was the guy who hadn't eaten meat for 6 months, watched the slaughter of the lamb and resumed eating meat because he saw it was humane, clean and professional. Although a big meat fan turned down the lamb after watching it.

Right all multiplayer games on the wii have to have the wi-fi logo on the box.
BA is indeed not online, but your reasoning is faulty. Yes, it has to have it on the box. That is not the box. It's a JPEG. As I've said, if you believe pre-release official boxart shots we'd be playing pokemon trozei online and most people wouldn't be able to play red steel. You put far to much sted in early boxart. The other mock up, complete with wi-fi logo, most probably came from ubisoft as well.

Humans are designed to be omnivores (Well, human's aren't 'designed' at all in my opinion, but you know what I mean) Hence tearing incisors rather than the flat, grinding teeth you see in herbivores.
Anwyay, watched the lamb episode yesterday morning at work and I was actually surprised by how professional, humane and clean it all was. Actually made me quite hungry and I went to morrisons and bought some minted lamb afterwards. I agree that shutting your eyes and pretending your not eating a little fluffy animal that once gambled round the feilds then got slaughtered for your plate is hypocritical. If you can't stomach that fact, don't eat the meat. I think it's a good programme as well and I can't see how either vegetarians or meat eaters can or should have a problem with it.

I know lots of gamers, serious and otherwise who never even consider playing games online. In my opinion, people on gaming message boards have a skewed perspective of how important online gaming is because there tends to be a much higher number of online gamers on internet forums. In real life, there are many people who have no desire to either play Call of Duty with someone in Norway or argue with him about HD graphics.
The official box art for pokemon trozei had the Wifi logo on, even down to the official box art sent to shops for cardboard promo displays. Box went on the shelves, no wi-fi logo. I wouldn't use official box art as gospel because it can change right up to release as they realise what needs to be added/altered (or even be shipped out by the thousand with glaring errors on it, like Red Steel)*clears throats* All online multiplayer games must have the wi-fi logo on, because the official boxart does not have wifi logo on, it does not have online multiplayer. -
Nerdy?!
There is nothing nerdy about taking part in a strategic shooter and barking orders at your team-mates via a headset.
I'm not entirely sure if that's irony or not...

The papers and the coppers have picked up on it:
Spurs call themselves the Yids anyway, so it's hardly in the same league.

What are they actually saying? (I know, I'm an idiot, but I can't make it out)
"I'd rather be a paki than a jew"

Well then get the subject line changed to something like "How the universe happened", something like that
You don't think the fact creationism is mentioned in the topic title may give a clue that there will be discussion of the creation of the universe?

Spurs are so bad even Tevez can score against them, West Ham are so bad they can't even beat Spurs.
No tears shed for the 'appy 'ammers, they were swanning around like a dog with two cocks when they signed the argies. Hilarious that not only have they both failed spectacularly, but they may get points deducted for signing them aswell.

There's no 'pinnacle of evolution' though - Nothing is 'more evolved' than anything else they just adapt to their surroundings. If situations change cockroaches could be far more well suited to the environment than humans and have an advantage over us.

Picked up this heap of garbage today, played it for one hour (with volume turned down, what absolute boring repetive music) and almost completed the whole game. Then returned it to EB for a refund (I wasnt the first to do so).
STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHIIT. I'm noway a graphics whore, but Ive seen beter graphics on a PS1. No way is this worth the price, and how dare people insult the Amiga "Marble Madness" by saying this is comparable.
And why do devs insist on holding the remote this way? Sideways is the way to go.
You played it for an hour and claimed the music was repetitive because you hadn't unlocked more than one music track. Graphically it's one of the cleaner, sharper, better stylised Wii games. Dunno how you can claim Red Steel's graphics 'arn't bad' then slate the graphics of this, after saying in the mecury meltdown thread "its a puzzle game so who cares about the graphics".

I think I actually played one of this series on the PC, the 'london police' version of the same franchise, because it was only about 200meg to download. It actually plays worse than it looks and the 'british' accents are terrible. There's localised versions for germany etc as well.

The US versions of Kirby games, where they take the japanese box art, give him evil eyes and make it "Exxtreme!" for American kids.
