Drag me to Hell was on last night, so I thought I'd give it a watch. Disappointed. I had heard in various places that it was worth watching, but it's very by the numbers and ordinary. Waste of an evening.

I've taken a little break off the weights as I need a bit of time off. Back onto it tomorrow. Played some squash today and whacked my own racket onto the middle finger of my left hand mid-game. I reckon that'll bruise tomorrow.

Same with Empireee. Now, I just need my friend to get back to me with what dates she can go before I start booking tickets. GIVE EEET TO MEEEEE! Also, had to channel hop yesterday during 2 Man of Steel trailers. I think I let out a little squeel when it came on as I reached for the remote. Trailer-free is the way to go, imo.

News or rumour, there is a higher chance of Mario Kart being "a safe bet" rather than something more radical. Especially with WiiU sales so low.

I'll probably skip on Mario Kart again unless they make some positive improvements. Quite frankly, the series has been a bit shit since MKDS. News of it just being 7 in HD doesn't fill me with confidence. I'd happily take another ExciteTruck or F Zero over Mario Kart, right now. At least you'll be guaranteed a fantastic single player.

Whaaaat aaaa gaaaame! Gutted for Borussia that they didn't win that after playing so well, but I can't begrudge Bayern the victory either. Both teams were fantastic. Superb final. I'm going to miss football this summer, after that. :'(

I, like many others, wanted Ghana to win it. One hell of a roller coaster, that's for sure. Hope tonight's game comes somewhat close to that. Bastian will probably have a great game...if Bayern win it, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the man of the match award.

Incredible match. That match had everything. Almost in tears at the end of it.

BORUSSIA! (Borussia) BORUSSIA! (Borussia) BORUSSIA! (Borussia) I want Dortmund to win tonight, but either way I'm expecting a cracking game. Really excited. Two great teams that will have a go at each other. 3-2 to Dortmund.

Got a good draw away at Haden. Also picked up a very bad injury for Graciano Velho. Not really that bothered about relegation and promotion is off the cards. Going for development, and we'll see where we are in a few seasons time. But, this is it now. I have my squad and now its time to groooow. DRAGOOOOOO! DRAGOOOOOOOOOO! DRA-GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

A bit unfair. Religion also gives people hope and gives them a belief that they will go to a better place when they die. Let's not turn this into a "religion is shit" thread. I'll put this one down to you being in a different country to me/many people here, but Islam is certainly not given a free pass at all... Also, what about Anders Breivik? Killing 77 and injuring 151 as he felt that Norway's Christian values were being undermimed. This was only two years ago. Not sure if serious. Do you not have Muslim/Islam education in your country? It is taught in schools, along with the other "main" religions of the world (Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, Sikhism) Islam, by definition, is meant to be a peaceful religion. Being brought up as a Muslim by my family has taught me that you should respect your elders, you shouldn't look to start arguments, fights or confrontations and that you life should be led in a peaceful way. The majority of Muslims you will ever meet will say the same thing. The principals of the religion are about charity, caring for others and taking care of your family. Unfortunately, there are people out there who commit atrocities and who kill others in the name of Islam. They are NOT Muslims because you are not taught to do this. You are taught to do the opposite. People like those attacks from yesterday are not committing these crimes for the good of Islam, they are doing it for their own benefit and to cause further disruption between groups of people. You'll never hear anything about Muslims (or even about many Christians or Jews for that matter) doing good because that news doesn't sell. Look at the top stories on BBC News right now aside from this one: Obama defends "just drones" war (War) April accused Paedophile denial (murder) Tour Chief sorry for "coloured" remark (racism) Hidden Camera GP jailed for abuse (intrusion...) Arrests in Nursery Sex Assault probe (sexual assault) Global Markets fall on growth fears (the next depression) Briton in French prison found dead (murder) Inquiry call over NHS 111 debacle This is all off the front page. Finally, the term "Allah hu Akbar" (or other spelling variations) is used during prayer and at times to praise God. It should NOT be used in conjunction with any act of violence. Doing so is wrong.

My willpower is strong. I haven't watched a single second of it.

All SEGA have to do is make another game as great as Colours and I'm there. Do eet, SEGA. Do eeet naaaw.

As far as I'm aware, there have already been an outcry about this from Muslims. I'd personally rather see more action than words. Muslim leaders haven't done enough to change or influence the attitudes of youngsters and encourage them not to do this sort of thing. Too many heads are buried in the sand. From both sides.

It's scary as hell. These kids are army kids and they are living in a part of the world where they don't have a great deal of exposure to people of different races, nationalities and religious beliefs. Plus, some of the parents don't help as they come from a generation that disliked people who were different in any way to them. I can understand why people are like this and hold these views, because a lot of them simply don't know any better. But yes, awkward as fuuuuck. Basically stood in the car park reassuring kids that Muslims don't just go to Mosques to plan terror attacks.

I have had a very bizarre day at work. I had a free period and visited one of the learning support assistants in his room, just as he was about to start a lesson with a Year 9 lad. The kid had no idea what had gone on yesterday, so the assistant and I were basically informing him. He has a Father in the armed forces who once told him that "reading is for fags"... After about half an hour of explaining to him why this sort of violence is wrong and why we shouldn't blame a whole race of people based on the acts of a few, another kid entered the room and after being filled in on our conversation merely said: "We should just burn all of the Mosques." Amazing. The first kid didn't have any idea what to say to that. He looked to us as if to say that what the other kid said was wrong, but he was saying those same things an hour ago. A few quotes: "You're Muslim? But, you don't look brown enough..." "Do you speak Muslim?" "Why don't we just bomb all of them in their country?" "Maybe we should just send them all back home?" Aaaaand, as I was walking in the car park at the end of the day, a kid who is by himself on the front lawn decides to run the whole length of the field, trying to catch me before I left. Genuine conversation. "Hey, did you hear about yesterday?" "Yeah, it's really awful..." "My Dad is on high alert in London (in the army), he's worried." "I hope he'll be ok." "Do you know what's going to happen next?" "Hmm...well...I imagine things will be tense for a few days, some people have apparently started attacking Mosques..." "No, I mean...do YOU know what's going to happen next?" "Me?" "Yeah...because you're Muslim..." "I don't know any of these people..." "Ok, if you hear anything will you let me know because my Dad asked me to find out." ... What the fuck did I just witness?

I totally agree, it's not right to blame the whole religion based on a few people. One drop of oil in the ocean doesn't mean it's completely dirty. Either way, whether the people are Muslim or not, it's still disgusting that somebody has lost their life in this way.

There's about a dozen or so tunes in Xenoblade that are beautifully crafted. I'm also digging the music in Colours. We are truly blessed.

Normally, I'd agree with you. But, if this guy is shouting "Allah hu Akhbar" and other Islamic phrases like it has been claimed, then it's fairly likely that he has some sort of links to Islam. But yes, I also understand what you're saying. Normally I'd be with you on this one, but I can't shake the idea that these are two people who claim to be supporters of Islam/have links to it and are trying to make some sort of statement. It's shit, it tarnishes the image of humans as a whole, as well as Muslims, but it has unfortunately happened.

Ellie Goulding is a babe. I'm glad that I've seen her live. She put on a good show.

Xenoblade, brah.

The man could be Somali, or he could be a convert. I don't think the police have said publicly what his ethnicity/nationality/place of origin was, yet. I'm not saying your post is wrong, but the more likely scenario is that these were two radicalised men who were trying to "make a stand or a statement" against the government. We'll probably find out more later, but I imagine this will be the gist of it. Of course, it does give British Muslims a bad name, because it just furthers the notion that Muslims are terrorists.

My second copy has come and now I'm back to playing this. It's sublime. I really, really like it. Where has this game been all my life? Also, the wisps! Power-ups...that are fun to use and serve a purpose. Shit. This is my dream Sonic game.
