I agree. I also like their attitude to Trident - I'd rather we had a smaller nuclear deterrent that we can actually afford and completely control, rather then all these oversized American ballistics we can't even run ourselves. Generally though I hope in a hung Parliament the LibDems can become the catalyst for genuine and long overdue electoral reform. That's still my number one concern for this election.

So, is anyone aware of the LibDem manifesto at this point? No? Here's the jist of it anyway: Raise income tax allowance to £10,000 Future tax rises not ruled out "Mansion tax" on £2m homes Scrap ID cards No like-for-like replacement for Trident £400 cap on pay rises in the public sector £2.5bn "pupil premium" to reduce primary class sizes Raise pay of new members of armed forces Scrap strategic health authorities 3,000 more police officers Cut number of MPs by 150 Anyway, I'll leave you gentlemen to... whatever it is that you're doing. *flees*

Yay Cube! He's no square! Happy Birthday! -
Personally, I'd be down for any game that included Cube-Chess, strawberry jelly or no.

I don't think this doctor is affected by the loss of his race, I think he's sort of done with that. He's buried inside and left it to fester like real men do. What really narked him off though was being told what to do, by Amy or anyone else to protect him or themselves. He's not taking any shit anymore. He probably looks back on his Tennant stage and wonders what was up with that poofy hair and all the goddamn crying.

Matt Smith is superb. Don't get me wrong, Tennant was the sex in all meanings of the word, but he already seems like a distant memory by this point. Vomit encrusted nighty you mean. Honestly, you and your fetishes.

Awkk, booo. Sorry to hear it all RA. Hope things turn around for you soon!

Happy Birthday Dante! Do learn to edit. -
Ahhhhh bloody hell, finally finished transcribing another homeopathy-interview for my sister's dissertation. With my faith in humanity rapidly being reduced to rubble, I've been keeping myself sane with Youtube clips of Dara O'Brien and that Mitchell&Webb sketch "Homeopath A&E". I think I'll take a day off tomorow and play that Carl Sagan remix over and over again very quietly in the background.

The BBC News website also has an "Election 2010" section up now, including bite size summations of each party's policies for your easy consumption- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/8515961.stm#subject=key&col1=conservative&col2=labour&col3=libdem

He's so stiff he looks like an animatronic. :/

I'll almost certainly be voting LibDems this election. They've got the charisma of a cold bowl of porridge that's been left on the side all week while you've been to Majorca, but they're also the only party that might actually bring about proper electoral reform. I also agree with their Local Income Tax policy and generally pro-European stance, as well as other things. Fingers crossed for a hung parliament. Also, wouldn't heading this thread with a poll be the way to go?

Great race, loving how the season is panning out - the top 9 drivers within 10 points of each other, which is nothing under the current points system! Hopefully this will continue. Great result for the Red Bulls, that's been threatening for a while. Bad luck for Schumi again, as an ex-DHill follower I never thought I'd actually be rooting for him. Show 'em what you're made of MS!

I simply adored every second of this, Matt Smith is a sublime performer. I particulary love how the Doctor kind of an asshole now. A complete break from Tennant's character & story, exactly what was required and the whole production did it with a joyous flourish. Roll on the Stone Angels and Space Spitfires.

How To Train Your Dragon 3D The glorious romance of a nasally teen boy and a sassy teen girl who communicate almost entirely in exposition. Not bad, though the 3D added little and did my head in a bit. Basically it's Trainspotting except "Chasing the Dragon" isn't a euphemism.

Surely "April Fools You Melon Farmers" would have been the obvious choice? stunning job though. EDIT: Oh, you cocksuckers.

Godammit. Now I have no lee in which to shelter from the storm of barbaric penny-faux-surrealism this day brings against me every year! I'm going to bed! Bastardos!

Speaking of McLaren, does anyone get the impression Heikki is perhaps still a tad disappointed at being dropped? Just look at his personal winter training regime -

Topped my week off with a weekend at Edinburgh, catching with an old mate and my lil' bro. Lost £10 with my bro to a time crisis machine, then another tenner split between a Rambo Arcade and House of the Dead 4 machine. Then went to see an awesome exhibit at the Scottish National Museum on Scottish technological history, which included to my delight Jackie Stewart's actual Tyrrell 003 and Jos Verstappen's Stewart SF-02 chassis. It also had a robot arm that could spell any word you gave it in blocks. Yes I'm a nerd, why do you ask?

Excellent race, decent overtaking and plenty of tense chases. I was genuinely surprised when Lewis was called in, McLaren basically threw away an almost certain 1-2. It was only thanks to his driving they got anything decent out of it (or would have had Webber not locked up anyway). I'd be raging. At what point can we pass the mantle of "Kamikaze Kid" from Sato to Kobayashi? He's been like a wrecking ball this weekend.
-
I'll be genuinely shocked if this isn't a better contest then Bahrain (although again, I honestly think we've all seen far worse, including at that circuit). I think the Red Bulls and Ferraris are the teams to beat but the competition across the whole field is tremendous. Light showers predicted during the race too.
-
Noo. He got caught having a little bit of fun when he shouldn't have and a tap on the wrist from the infamous Australian road laws. Qualifying is a slightly below-par result through a combination of a tiny bit of bad luck and a highly competitive field. Shit occasionally happens but isn't necessarily related. Anyway, at least he can start on his choice of tyre and we get to watch him scrap his way up the field, if he can.
-
Godammit, you guys all suck. Ah well, at least I got my perfect home record anyway.
-
I'm not convinced if he'll get it organised - how do you close down part of New Jersey for a full weekend for this kind of thing? At least Monza is safe anyway. "Urban Rallying" itself on the other hand sounds like a pretty interesting concept. Get on that. This is Michael Schumacher with a dolphin. Yes it is.
