The Snowman. Every single Christmas, without fail. It's just so sad. Love it. The music particularly.

*hugs for Raining & family* Ending up in solitude can be sort of a scary prospect. Few go out looking for it deliberately but it's far too easy to imagine losing contact with the people you know and who know you just because you're busy or geologically or socially isolated. You can still end up in solitude even when you're surrounded by people, but unless they're the same ones looking out for you it's all the same.

Slow-motion close-ups for everybody!

Just popped in to say sorry I'm falling behind on the reports folks, I'm not so much busy as I've got one or two potentially-important pots on the boil at the mo. I'll keep on them and at some point I'll have to knuckle down and do a super-update like I did last season. Peace.

Men In Black 2. They really should have just let the first one be.

Happy Birthday P & Z! You're the men now, dawgs.

So, are people actually going to buy this? Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed my fair share of Duke in the past but I've got this weird impression of 'Forever of being the game that, having spent so long in limbo, will be something we all found much more interesting unreleased.

His immediate response is "Oi, shut up, don't need chit-chat from a faggot." Join the dots and see what you get.

Oh christ yeah. It was on TV the other night and as I flipped through thought I thought to myself - "Jesus, I can't believe I actually looked forward to this once." On a similarly obvious note, Star Wars Episode 1. 300. I went in expecting a sub-par but bloody comic-action movie, what I got was a two hour montage of people standing around staring into the middle distance in the middle of a cornflakes commercial, with about 3 minutes of sub-par action intersped into that. Specifically, I paid money on the understanding that there would be war-rhinos, and got less then 15 seconds of war-rhino. Shennanigans! SHENNANIGANS I SAY!

Happy, ya' smooth tongued gangsta' you.

Fuck this. Fuck everything. Fucking bastards. Still not going to give Rupert my money. Seriously, fuck that guy.

Pay attention to the wants and needs of each individual member of your team, and you'll end up with more then just a squad... Round 4 Chelski FC 3 – 1 Emo Blades It was not quite a clean sweep but certainly a clean win for Chelski FC over an Emo Blades team suffering an unfortunate down swing in their fortunes. First Basti with a strong header for the home side and Wojcick with a great freekick for the visitors left all things square until after the half-time. No one would describe it as a crushing but despite valiant play the Emo Blades were slowly picked apart by the superior Chelski offence. First Marples scored from a superbly accurate floating cross from Haywood, and as the Blades tired Cotino burst through the rearguard to see Chelski FC finish the game comfortably ahead. Eights United 2 – 3 Cubic County It was a five goal thriller at Earth II as visitors Cubic County scraped to a last minute victory against an Eights United squad famished for success. Svanson got the Eights off to a bright start with a header of Yusri, but Cubic soon recovered their nerve with McGovern equalising before half time. Into the second half and it was McGovern again with a header to put Cubic ahead for the first time. The Eights however were having none of it and Bjornas broke through to put it all square. Both sides attacked time and again but it wasn’t until the very last minute of normal time Paddy Gould slipped through to take the devastating winner for Cubic County, only for their star midfielder Maupas to somehow get himself sent off in extra time for wounding Zahora of Eights United. Action, action, action, right up until the final whistle. Byern Bru 3 – 2 Recall United It was a brusing day for Recall United as the final score belied an uphill struggle for them to stay on level pegging with the clear ‘League 1 leaders. Bayern dominated the first half, Kit and then people’s hero Brusling splitting the honours with a header each. The waters muddied somewhat in the second half as a refreshed Recall stormed the barricades, Captain Oswald Streep leading the charge and breaking the Bayern defence twice to equalise. Bayern were not about let victory get away from them however and Jons Rundberg slipped through easily to score the winning goal. AFC Rez’s Rabies 1 – 1 Bayern Fish It was a slightly more sedate affair at The Breeding Ground but still wasn’t short of moments as the two runners-up from League 2 clashed for the first time since their promotion. A pair of bookings for slightly brash challenges clearly frustrated the Fish in the first half and the Rabies eventually made good, Zellman finding the net just before half time after multiple attempts. The rabies failed to capitalise in the second half and suffered a blow as Fjallstrom suffered an injury and had to limp off. This seemed to upset the Rabies’ system and it was Hammarskjold who took the equaliser with 11 minutes to go. Most Important Result - Chelski FC 3 – 1 Emo Blades keeps Chelski in touch with Bayern Bru. Turned on Style – Bayern Bru knock Recall United down a peg. Player of the Day - Sonny Comer was Chelski FC’s secret agent in the field, discretely setting up plays for the big guns.

I don't think I can add anything to what Nicktendo said, apart from Massa on 11/1 wasn't a bad punt at the start of the year. The way he's been treated by Ferrari in spite of his devotion and efforts has been frankly shocking.

I propose an elected arbiter or judging panel of some description. I for example am completely sloshed having consumed two half-bottles of wine and a pint of Czech beer but I personally wouldn't rate myself above a 4.2. It's all subjective.

It's all down car development. Ferrari are now clearly up there with the Red Bulls but McLaren are not far behind. If their developments work out Lewis needs a solid result in Suzuka and he can still bounce back strong in the last couple of rounds. That Red Bull though is an almighty force though. Adrian Newey knows his shit, if you'll 'cuse my French.

My head's spinning now. Alonso's rocketed through the pack, with Webber still the favourite following his collision with Hamilton. Total racing incident, fair cop from both of them I reckon. A brash move from Lewis perhaps but the fact he's even willing to try that sort of thing is precisely why I love him so much - win or loose he simply refuses to be dull. I still wouldn't care to place a wager against any of the top five. Four races to go and still anything could happen.

Great quali' result in terms of the season. If the race result is similar it'll only leave the championship on even more of a knife edge.

The short answer is "yes." There are parts of the presentation and other bits and bobs that Codemasters could improve upon but the actual on-track action is astounding.

Got this this morning and I've given a quick spin before having to go work shortly. The operative word for this game is "scary." In Schumacher's Mercedes without any assists, it took me maybe a dozen attempts just to set a single lap time around Monaco. The handling is delicate but you feel that the machine it's attached to is one of absolute brutality, yowling, screaming and skittering all over the place as you grit your teeth at the barrier coming right up to your front wheel. (Oh, and you know how the section in tunnel looks nice and flat? It isn't. It really really isn't.) Even when trying to take things slowly this game feel fast. I then tried a short 3-lap race at Spa and after two laps, three flashbacks, three lost places and having successfully lathered my front wing all over Buemi's rear diffuser I've decided to leave it until after work, lest I give myself an aneurysm and/or heart attack. What I'm trying to say is, it's good.

Omelet sammiches, with a sprinkling of cheese in it and lashings of Branston pickle omnomnomnom.

That sounds fantastic Dyson! Dammit, I just can't wait for this to come. I keep refreshing my Amazon page waiting for it to say "soon to be dispatched."

Bloody hell, if I were in your shoes I wouldn't.

ALL AVARD DECISIONS ARE FINAL. DO NOT QUESTION MEIN WISDOM!
