For the record, I am British born, and I hold a British passport....and I am angry at the government for spending a fortune on a pathetic excuse for a war.
but I didnt blow up London or ram raid a Scottish airport.
Sorry to disappoint you, I NEVER read the Mail...too many big words for a knuckle dragger like me!
As for the Guardian, I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it. The only newspaper I buy is The Oxford Mail...and that is because our local news is rarely covered on 5-Live, which I listen to about 8 hours a day
My point is this (Specially for Sam)...Just because somebody says something 11 years ago, doesn't necessarily mean that they have any intention whatsoever of actually DOING it!
(That is from your profile..in case you had forgotten )
Obvious it is a waste of effort trying to argue with somebody that is just out to wind people up for the hell of it.
OK..it's crap...but its fun and addictive crap..it does have that "just one more race before shutdown" feel...which means I have played it for 8 hours out of the last 36...(sad git!)
I could find about 50 faults with it if I bothered, but it's just too much fun to go nitpicking. The takedown missions are good...you get to ram other cars without any obvious penalty or hurt to yourself...(and then its just like T1 on any LFS track!)
er...have to jump into an argument here Kev...by reading what you HAVEN'T written there, you infer by association that both Andy and myself are racists.
I cannot speak for Andy, but I can categorically state that I am NOT what you would call racist. I AM a Nationalist and a patriot, but I can get 99% of my non-white colleagues and FRIENDS to testify (under oath if necessary!) that they do not believe me to be a racist.
Supporting some of the BNP's policies does not mean that I am going to go out with a white pointy hood on with a burning cross in my hand.. but I DO get angry when this country's infrastructure is undermined by a useless left(?) wing bunch of idiots and hypocrites that could not be trusted to organise the proverbial p*ss-up in a brewery.
If Screaming Lord Sutch and The Raving Monster Loony Party advocated getting better living standards for those that were born here in favour of those that came here with the sole intention of sponging off the state, then I would support them as well. This would not make me a lunatic.
By the way..did you watch the news this evening...Nice Uncle Gordon has given us all a nice Christmas (Sorry- Winter Festival) prezzie...he has pushed the country to record levels of debt and wants to borrow more!
Any idiot will tell you that it is impossible to "borrow" your way out of debt...the bankruptcy courts are inundated with people who believed that!
Unfortunately this was never publicised in the press, but you can ask any driver from my company that was there at the time for confirmation.
I am sure that many others among us have witnessed similar things in their workplaces.
Another example of "Quotas"..a recent job for a controller/inspector was advertised internally.. there were 40+ applications (not me...you can stuff that job..too much work/responsibility for hardly any more pay ) and yet the shortlist was whittled down to the ONLY TWO FEMALES that applied. This was because some Gruadian reader had noticed that females were underrepresented in middle-management positions, even though a lot of the guys that applied were better qualified, had more seniority, and were more suited to the role.
btw...we haven't got a "glass ceiling" where I work..the MD is a woman! (on merit, I might add!)
FACT: A "Mr K" - A gentleman of Asian extraction was reported for numerous racist comments, abusive gestures with direct racist motivation, and racially-motivated acts of aggression. It took 7 months to get him sacked because of this.
FACT: "Mr D" - A White Anglo-Saxon Protestant, was overheard to mutter the phrase: "Stupid P**i" when carved up by an Asian taxi driver...he was summarily dismissed within 30 minutes. (Fortunately he was reinstated after appeal. and the fact that 99% of the company was ready to go on strike over this..INCLUDING all of the Asian drivers!)
I believe the Master Server for the beta was disabled when the final version was released a couple of weeks ago...so although he MIGHT be able to play on a LAN, he wont get online very easily...that is, if they are still giving out keys, which I very much doubt.
As Andy says, they already have "a foot in the door"....give it ten years and you might be seeing a lot of one-handed shoplifters!..And if your wife/girlfriend says shes going out to get stoned, I don't think she will mean smoking waccy-baccy.
btw, somebody mentioned the Human Rights Act earlier in this thread (CBA to look for it)...but just how much does FULL Sharia Law conform to the HRA???? Not a lot, in fact, probably less than the BNP's version of it!
