  1. Formula 1 2009

    Isn't that 6 teams who've lodged an entry then..? I thought a team named Litespeed had applied, as mentioned on the BBC website http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/8072740.stm. So that should mean the new entries are... Campos Meta F1 LiteSpeed GP Lola Prodrive Superfund US F1 Campos Meta F1 and US F1 will all have to change their names as "F1" is not allowed in the team name since an annoying old hobbit owns the rights to the F1 brand. Should be interesting on deadline day though (12 June) to see which teams have been accepted and whether the other 9 teams will withdraw. I have a feeling that some teams (most likely Toyota, Ferrari and Red Bull/Toro Roso) may pull out because they all want no budget cap and it looks like the FIA are pretty set on £100m, which is more than enough in my opinion. About time we got back to technical innovation instead of spending power, hence why I support the £40m one proposed. So while this season has fallen a bit flat with the dominance of Brawn, next season: With new teams, 26 cars and NO Refuelling should hopefully be amazing - Unless they announce 3 new Middle East / Asia races on the calendar.

    I miss James Allen. FUCK. I never thought I'd say that 12 months ago...
  3. Wii General Discussion

    I'm having problems too :/ Warning: Too many fanboys may cause server overload... Please try again on Monday at 10.30am (PT).
  4. Punch-Out!!

    Funny, I can't even beat Don Flamenco... LOVE this game though, it's so addictive and has been a great introduction for me to the Punch Out series. I'm using the Wii 'mote on its side as the NES gods intended.
  5. Formula 1 2009

    Yeah I agree completely, Buemi has been frankly amazing this season both for his age, and expericence. Bourdais has been a massive disapointment, despite being a nice guy he's been truly out mastered by Buemi and Vettel last season. I would give most at least a chance, for instance Piquet was quick in GP2 but he's proved himself to be more than useless this season. Just because someone is quick or slow in another series doesn't mean it will directly translate into F1.
  6. Formula 1 2009

    I have no idea how it's decided but my guess would be (and this is merely a guess). Lola and Prodrive will be accepted on the basis that both teams have had a significant degree of association with / participation in the sport in the past (Lola as a team and Dave Richards who is now the head of Prodrive, ex-principal of BAR racing). I am also confident that USF1 will be accepted because of how far along the team is and the fact that they have a well run outfit which has been in operation for well over a year. The car is development is very far along suggesting that they are the most serious of all the new bidders. The market is Spain is centred solely around Fernanodo Alonso and if he vacates the sport as rumours suggest, Campos Meta may find it difficult to get funding, also if he stays he is providing unprecedented competetion for Spanish business which will work against Campos Meta F1. What's more is I think they'll re-introduce the Qualifying cut off rule from the mid-90's so that all 26 cars won't be on the track during the race, maybe.
  7. I am penguinophobic

    It's an idea. I accepted long ago that it's all it will ever be
  8. I am penguinophobic

    If every nation put all their armed forces funding towards reducing world debt and paying towards running water, education and health care for poorer nations then maybe, just maybe no-one would need an army. Instead they'd rather steal thier oil, pay off thier rulers to turn a blind eye and use their workforce to cheaply produce commodities that the robots of the developed nations can spend their hard-earned dollors on. World keeps on spinning... Ever wondered why the Middle East is so hostile towards the West anyway? British People's Party tried to stage a demonstration in Leeds last year. It failed. Epically. That was a good day Blood and Honour are sick fuckers, a few memebers all went to a gig, also in Leeds last year. They were kicked out pretty quickly because the band refused to play for them, there's no place for people like that in this world. It makes me sad that people can still hold those views in this day and age.
  9. I am penguinophobic

    No, no, no. I agree with you mate. I'm just pointing out that people of the BNP's beliefs regard me as British because I was born here and, importantly to them, because I'm white. Merely pointing out that because I'm white and from Britian, I'm considered British. As far as I'm aware I am mixture of Nordic and Celtic but I would never consider myself British. If Abdullah the butcher, Brutus the Barber or Doink the Clown wants to call himself British no matter where he's from, what colour his skin is and where he lives, it's all gravy with me baby. I think it's more of a culture thing than and inherited pot luck of birth anyway. Not crack, just the grass. I can list probably 1000 huge tradgedies since 1945. You are right they are not on the same scale I was just pointing out that Nazi Germany was the last tradgedy on such a massive scale which affected the entire world (you know "World war 2")... 6 million people... Lotta people.
  10. I am penguinophobic

    Times have changed since 1940. Air travel for instance, is a much greater posibility. Seriously though, I would like to believe that if I was Jewish in Nazi Germany I would have had enough balls to stand up against the government, even if it led to my inevitable death. Any one person can make a massive difference especially when they do what's right, for the greater good or when the odds are against them. It was a horrific time and shows just how much damage racism can cause. I'd like to believe that this is the last great tradgedy of world history. Only by changing how people act towards and percive others will anything change and I think that challenege is far too great for 6 billion people. But... "it has to start somewhere, It has to start somehow, what better place than here, what better time than now."
  11. I am penguinophobic

    I have and will continue to travel to many countries around the world. Never will any country restrict me. If I lived in North Korea or the Middle East under an oppresive regime, I would be free or die trying, but never violently. Every person is in control of their own life and destiny, no government can control you if you fight hard enough. I'm just 'lucky' to have been born on a piece of turf called England, doesn't mean I have to like it here or agree with the majority of apathetic idiots who share the land here and take what the shambles of a government throws at them lying down.
  12. I am penguinophobic

    It's VERY fucking easy not to. All you need to do is have enough intelligence to not group people together by skin coulour, race or religion. Judge people on their individual merit. Just because someone is an Asian or a Muslim doesn't mean they secretly want to kill you. That is one of the most ignorant things I've ever read on here. And the stuff you were saying about the Asian lad in your unit was pretty offensive too. "Ooh look he's not white, he can't be like us, but he's fighting on our side so he's not like them." To be honest mate, it's pretty apparent you're quite racist, something I would expect from most members of the British Army. On an unrelated note, is it any surprise that the people with the lowest IQ (based on a survey of 6000) vote for the BNP??
  13. I am penguinophobic

    It's a joke. On Family Guy. Of course I don't believe that... But, I don't believe people in the army are defending MY rights - seeing as how I don't consider myself belonging to any nation. I was born on a island called England. That's as far as it goes. I'm not British despite being white and having been born here to English and Scottish parents. All the army (of any country) does is piss me off and I do question the ideals of the majority of people who join it.
  14. I am penguinophobic

    The only reason people join the Army is because of all the brown people they can rape.
  15. I am penguinophobic

    This is what I'm trying to say. Thanks.
  16. I am penguinophobic

    When it comes to serving the community and upholding the law, anyone who is racist should not be able to hold this position of power. They will sub-conceisly act upon their racist beliefs in ways mentioned above which would be just plain wrong.
  17. Formula 1 2009

    The Long Beach circuit in the US was pretty goood waaay back in the days of Grand Prix East and Grand Prix West. As well as that, in the States there is Road America and the famous Laguna Seca. Plenty of options for decent circuits but I personally love Indy so I'd vote to keep that. Kyalami in South Africa is an old track that always used to be a great race. Plus their isn't a race in Africa at the moment. This would be my 'dream calendar' I suppose. 1. Australia - Melbourne 2. Malaysia - Kuala Lumpar 3. South Africa - Kyalami 4. Spain - Jerez 5. Monaco - Monte Carlo 6. Turkey - Istanbul 7. Canada - Montreal 8. USA East - Indianapolis 9. Britain - Silverstone 10. Germany - Hockenheim (old circuit ) 11. Austria - A1 Ring 12. Portugal - Algarve (really good new circuit used in A1GP) 13. Belgium - Spa 14. Italy - Monza 15. European - Nurburgring 16. Singapore - Marina Bay 17. USA West - Long Beach 18. China - Shanghai 19. Japan - Suzuka If 19 is too many and I have to cut one it would be Singapore.
  18. I am penguinophobic

    A copper who has racist beliefs shouldn't be a copper. Simple. You can't just argue against that point. Whether he's white, black, Asian, whatever. Better screening is needed to detect people who hold internally racial prejudices. On another note, Nick Griffin is a big, fat, stupid cunt and if I ever meet him I'd whack him across the chops as hard as I could, and this is coming from someone who despises violence. But he just makes me THAT angry. If any of you know Mark Collett (search 'Nazi Boy Russell Brand' on Youtube), he used to come into my work all the time and hit on my ex-girlfirend. When she told him she was a feminist he told her she was stupid and that women belong in the kitchen. Fucking prick. Watch the youtube videos to see just the type of stupid little tossers the BNP are.
  19. Radio 1 Greatest Game Vote

    *FACEPALM* And they say the Wii is the casual's console of choice...
  20. Klonoa: DtP ( Out Now! £14.99 Amazon & Play!! )

    They took it out of mine on Friday so it's definately on its way.
  21. Klonoa: DtP ( Out Now! £14.99 Amazon & Play!! )

    Mine was dispatched on Thursday from Play and still hasn't arrived yet.
  22. Little King's Story

    Yeah the one near Temple Newsam. They may have re-stocked tomorrow as they get a massive electronics delivery on Saturday nights according to my buddy who works there. Or they may have some loitering in the back due to 'abysmal sales.'
  23. Majora's Mask

    I'm going through it now, up to Jabu Jabu. Such a great game, still after all these years I want to finish it before I start Majora's Mask and I feel privilaged to have only completed 100%, once, nearly 10 years ago, after its original release. I haven't touched it since then and I can't wait to play through, in my opinion, the greatest videogame ever made for the second time.
  24. Little King's Story

    Well my tight-fisted-ness worked in my favour picked this up from Tesco for only £19.87! So if you haven't picked it up... Why are you still here?! Get to your nearest store and see if they have it. I got the last copy in the Leeds store along with Punch-out for £38.74 (I had a £10 voucher) So, I'm incredibly pleased. Now I have to wait until I go home on Wednesday to actually play it though. But I can't wait the stuff I've been reading on here is preparing me for a 40+ hour epic!
  25. Punch-Out!!

    Bought this tonight from Tesco for the OH so f'n sweet price of £18.87 (I had a £10 voucher on my clubcard). Can't play it until Wedensday when I go home though
