It wouldn't have if there were no armed forces. *I am fully aware that this a completely romantic idea and would never reach fruition*

I am 100% anti-violence. What I am suggesting is not to physically burn the queen, but burn everything she stands for. A ruler of all classes. An elite. I am suggesting burning British flags not as an act of violence but as a political statement, saying that what I believe is that this country should not stand for what it has done in the past. Anyone who resorts to violence, or promotes it loses my respect instantly and anything they have to say I will generally disregard, especially if acts of violence come before they open their mouths. I am very passionate about this topic and do not believe nationalism is healthy. Having a national identity is improtant to many people, and you are right that there are differences between many people in the places they come from and the cultures they have lived through and experinced. What I am against is people thinking their culture / way of life is superior or it needs "protecting" from being destroyed. I think cultures naturally evolve and change as they become richer. I wonder how many BNP members have a curry or a kebab after a night out? Stupid example, but it has been come part of the "British" culture. I know there is no focus as I was off my tits an just listed the things that annoyed me and I have little or no experience with writing. lol. I'm just getting fed up with the way the world seems to be turning out and the importance placed on financial gain. It really pisses me off because I know money is not needed for people to have rich, fulfilling lives, it just seems to get in the way of everything and be the underlying cause of all the global issues and grievances. I like the BBC and do beleive it to be pretty impartial, I was just annoyed that the chose to voice these opinions on the news when they clearly were subtly, quite racist. But freedom of speech is something that is very important as well. So i guess these people need to have a platform to voice their own opinions even if they make me cringe.

Correct. It is.

In 2 and a half weeks I've dropped about 6-8lbs and I'm feeling great! Cut down completely on the intake of shit, chocolate, takeaways and eating at work (Pizza hut). Ate more salads, 3 meals a day and no snacks. Plus I've been doing more consisitant and regular excersice, just need to keep it up now

I wrote this at 6am on Wednesday morning after a night out. Dunno why. Never "creatively wrote" before, so yeah... British Jobs for British workers If I hear any more racist twats say that fucking statement one more time I'm going to scream. I'm so sick of people in this country saying they're being robbed by foreign labour. What the fuck is foreign anyway? Aren't we all one? It's called globalisation, sunshine. Just because someone comes from Poland doesn't mean they won't do a decent job that the majority of the whiny bastards here aren't willing to do. All these dole scrounging cunts who fucking piss and moan that their jobs are being stolen need to fucking wake up and realise that we live in a competitive world and if someone comes along that is better than them then it's just tough shit. Don't play the old 'they get paid lower than minimum wage' card. Put some fucking effort into your approach to life instead of wasting it being pissed off at everyone else. For the last week all we've fucking heard is how these idiots are striking because 'immigrants' are stealing their jobs. Well here's some news for ya, this ain't Britain, it's the world, mate. There ain't no such thing as Britain, it should be buried. Burn the fucking flag and the fucking Queen. They stand for fuck all now except a tarnished history of barbarianism and rape. No one should be proud to be British after all the atrocities this country has committed across the globe. It's a fucking disgrace. Sure we might be 'free,' but at what cost? Think of all the innocent Iraqi's our soldiers have raped and slaughtered. All the families killed and separated during the partition of India and Pakistan, and countless other acts of evil this stained empire has committed. This country is a pile of shit. To be British is to be a piece of scum. Why can't we all just be one? Everyone differentiates between skin colour, race and creed. What happened to just being human? Living in peace and harmony? All I fucking see is hate. A sordid fear of the unknown. Overcome it, reach out and replace that fear with acceptance and friendship before the fear corrosively eats away at us and tears us all apart. Rise up and revolt against the bigots. Respect a person’s right to freedom of speech, no-one should ever be silenced, but everyone should be educated. Use your own mind to influence and change someone's narrow minded views. If we work together we can create a better society, one without an irrational fear of the unknown. This is the world, not Britain. Everyone has a right to be here, Leeds, York, Harrogate, anywhere. No matter what your background. Everyone has a right to work here if they want to. Just like anyone has a right to work in Bulgaria, Poland, Slovenia or wherever they choose, freedom. It's just names. Lucasz. Anjali. Susan. Paul. Reject the flag, reject the monarchy. They simply symbolise everything wrong with the world, the underlying cause that unsettles the masses when the dynamic shifts less than a mere millimetre. Nationalism is dead. Britannia rules the graves. So put it in its place, burn the fucking union jack and all its affiliated atrocities, but never forget. Burn it to pile of dust to be swept away by an ever flowing breeze of righteousness. There is no place for patriotism. Tell me, what have we got to be patriotic about? Prince cuntface Harry and the fucking British army? Well, Fuck the Armed forces. Why not Force them to lay down their arms and open their hearts? And you do the same. The most powerful 'weapon' is initiative, not some complex piece of metal. Use it. Conversation can solve quarrels, not a co-alition. So while these wastes of space are being aired on the BBC, expressing their coherently racist views, no matter what pretty garment they dress it up in. Don't fall for it. Don't sympathise. See it for what it is. Undress it and glare at the naked, nationalistic, narcissistic undertones laid bare before your eyes. Don't be brainwashed by the media. Question everything that's presented to you from David fucking Dimbleby to a Cadburys advert with stupid fucking eyebrows. Think for yourself, think, think for yourself. We are all equal. Men, women and children. We are all equal. We are all one. One world, one love. Unity. Peace and unity. Just ONE life - Anarchy. Alcohol-fuelled rant. Over. x

Excellent! He deserves another chance off the back of his good performances at the end of last season. I feel as though he has a lot of ability and was put in the shadows by Vettel. Hopefully this time he'll be a lot luckier and get some points.

How much is all that costing you? Caught the rumble today. Jeff and Edge was good, so was the Matt swerve. The rest, including the rumble was average at best. I'm glad Orton won though he's an awesome character. Does anyone remember his failed face turn when he beat Benoit for the title? That was lollerific. But seriously, I think Orton is the best bad guy this decade hands down!

I would happily pay £15 just to watch that match. Haven't seen the rumble as I was away at a funeral but I might try and get hold of a copy.

So who's going to win the rumble then? Before Raw I would have said Orton hands down but I think he will end up fighting McMahon at Wrestlemania in some kind of "Ultimate Legend Killer" storyline. Now I can only see 2 possible winners.. Shawn Michaels: If JBL beats Cena, then Micheals will win the rumble, I'd put my house on it. Christian: Returns and wins, revealing himself as the attacker of Jeff Hardy and setting up a match at Mania with either Hardy or Edge, depending on who wins in their match. What do you guys think?

The Wrestler. Epic film about something I have loved since I was 6. Opened up a whole new side of the business I knew existed but ignored, all the paralells with the stripper were highlighted immaculately. Excellent camerawork and an oscar deserving performance from Rourke. I thought the ending was handled spectacularly. Best film I've seen in years. 9.5/10

Thank you.

Ditch him, he's clearly not into it. It will get worse and it will continue. Speaking from experince here just draw a line under it and try to be friends. It will make things easier in the long run. If you forgive him and move on he will know he can get away with it. Sorry if it's upsetting but I don't think you can ever make up for cheating, the relationship will forever lack a fundamental respect. My ex-gf did it to me twice, then I did it to her and it just went back and forth until we ended, with lots of hurt, anger and tears. Be the bigger man and walk away, then you'll still have your pride.

I think this is where Obama's legacy, 50 or 100 years in the future will be defined.

Bioshock says hi... I didn't like it and don't really class it as FPS, more like metroid. and Half life 2. Got very bored, very quickly And Halo 1 :/. - I.M.O good, but VASTLY overated and over-hyped. 1 was excellent, in parts, 2 and 3 were atrocious. And lots more, er yeah. Red Steel was a good game with horrible horrible flaws. Each to their own I suppose. I thought technically, while obviously rushed, it was very good. Destructable environments? Excellent lighting? Awesome bump mapping? As mentioned above an excellent effort for a launch title:D

I think Red Steel got better towards the end! Funhouse, anyone? It is easily in the top 3 games that I've played on Wii, beaten only by SMG and Zelda. Quality game and the best SINGLE PLAYER FPS since Perfect Dark on the N64. Love it.

I'm starting a diet and fitness routine today. I'm 11st 11lbs, when considering I'm only 5"3' it makes me a chunky monkey. My BMI is 28.5, which really shocked me because I never thought I was that big. I do no excerise apart from when I walk my dog for 30-45 minutes everday so I'm going to extend that to an hour and add some hills into the mix. I have some weights and I'm going to eat better, I'll post results when I get time.

I've added pretty much everyone in the last few pages of this thread as a friend.

Well I finally got my PS3 today with LBP, GTA and TNA iMPACT! which I got for a fiver! First impressions are it's a lot slower than 360. Everything seems to load and take a while to do move, 360 is a much more streamilned experience. However the amount of content on offer here really makes up for it and I much prefer the playstation store to Marketplace. I had a little blast on Home, played chess and pool. Very nice and basic, but a bit pointless at the moment however the potential is huge and it boggles the mind to think about it! Not bad for a beta. My PSN i.d is "nick-tendo" so please add me. I'm looking forward to sharing levels on LBP and deathmatches on GTA. One thing I did notice is how silent the machine is! Unbelievable after the 360. I've got a wirelss keyboard and headset and it all feels very hi-tec and while I am, in reality, slightly underwhelmed. (I just think the 360 does a few of the basics better.) It doesn't at all feel as "generic" as the 360 and I can see the potential eveywhere, I just hope Sony fulfill it! So overall I'm pleased and when I've finished GTA I'm gonna pick up Metal Gear and pick up where I left off in 1999 with the PSOne original!

I thought they were bringing in standarised aerodynamics this year so how come the renault still has that gay fin thing?

Got the console and the pads for £190 off avforums.com then GTA was a tenner and LBP from playtrade for just over £15. Can't wait to try it out and the xbox is packed away and for sale in the paper and on gumtree! Also Fable 2 was a MASSIVE dissapointment for me. I finished it though and enjoyed it somewhat but it wasn't great. Then I put in a 4 hour session, completing loads of quests to try and get some achievements before my save file corrupted, I was so pissed off I sold it. Moleneaux: Don't release bugged games to meet deadlines...

My thoughts exactly

Just got myself a PS3 with LittleBigPlanet and GTA IV and 2 pads for £215 can't wait to get on it. Few Q's What can I expect / how awesome is it? How does it compere to an xbox 360? What's 'Home' like? What PSN games are good, how are they priced? (i.e are they a rip off?) Should I just get rid of my xbox now? (I hate gears, halo and fable 2...) Cheers! : peace:

Taker is crap and hasn't had a good match since Wrestlemania X7 with HHH. He should never have come back at Mania 20. His gimmick is laughable and should have died with the 90's. At least "The American Badass" had some redeeming features now he's a fat, old, joke who........ can't wrestle.

Was it Morrowind? Prequel to Oblivion and better in every single way !
