Ponty

I got one free from my local. All I needed to do was get my missus to bring her big handbag that day.

Not really wrong, mate. Margarine (the word) is derived from Oleomargarine (invented by a French bloke for Napoleon as you say) but the important bit is that his product was called Oleomargarine, and was a brand for the butter substitute. Margarine has since become a generic term, but only Oleomargarine should actually be called Margarine, anything else is just a fatty spread.

That's about as blinkered as anything Clarkson says, tbh.

How are you finding that? Personally, I love it.

Which isn't Margarine either. Margarine is a brand name based on a spread containing 90% fat. It's now defunct, although the name still gets used colloquially abeit incorrectly (much like Hoover, Jacuzzi, Nylon, etc.). Stork make spreads. *I think I've just St Landrewed St Landrew.

It was shocking the last time I went there. Microwaved crap off a laminated menu. It may have changed hands since, of course.

Threads like this. Oh no, wait a minute, we see them all the ****ing time, with exactly the same things mentioned.

What, exactly, is everyone's issue with Vista? I don't seem to have any problems with it...

I take it there's no offside rule over there either.

Nah, it's a Thursday night, isn't it, and I'm all out of days off. Ridiculous day to have a gig.

Does that guy work as ASDA? Edit: That was supposed to say "at ASDA" but it's funnier that way.

Hmmm worrying.

Well quite, but you'd do well to remember that I tipped Button for the title on the first day the BGP001 hit the test track. Sometimes I know my stuff, young man.

How did they get your details in the first place?

They said that last time, then queued up to **** his **** at Wembley.

I shall revise my wish to include the proviso that anyone who doesn't strike gets a nice payrise and reduced hours.

Playing it alone is fine. It is definitely geared towards multiplayer but the stand alone scenarios work brilliantly and are what I'm referring to by replaying them over and over. I can't get enough. There are 4 missions, each with 5 levels, and you can select 1 of 4 players to be and choose one of 4 difficulties to attempt it on. That's 64 different ways to play 20 different levels and the AI means that the same zombies aren't in the same place each time. It's better than I made it sound I think.

I agree, which is rare on an F1 thread.

A bit of Black Spiders. **** you and this one horse town!

They'd forgive him if he went back.

The reason I didn't buy L4D was Dead Rising. I didn't enjoy that as much as I thought I would and it put me off L4D. I only bought it this time round as I traded in 160 quids worth of games and wanted a new FPS to see me through to MW2.

How will he address it? He besmirched it.

I finally picked this up last week for a mere 22 quid new at Gamestation - a bit late but nevermind - and it's fecking awesome, isn't it? I've never had a game that I've replayed, let alone so many times. OK the single player options are short but they're so engrossing and the AI is so good that replaying each level does not feel like doing the same thing over and over. Love it. Is L4D 2 out soon?

I hope they all lose their jobs as the poor service forces retailers to swap to private courier firms permanently and the work isn't there for them to come back to.

Only number 5? Personally I'm disappointed.
