yeh.i found that thread too. Their response is, as you say, scandalous. The whole thing smacks of them dumbing the game, but what gets me is the fact that they presumably could have offered a matchmaking system alongside the old fashioned custom search. It's ridiculous that we now have a game spread across two dvds which needs to be installed to get acceptable load times, but we actually have less playability than its predecessor. If popular opinion went in favour of going back to FM2 multiplayer wise, I'd be there like a shot. That's how disappointed I am at the moment.

That's right; that's what I alluded to above. But as you've alluded to yourself, it's a more planned and complicated procedure than just letting the game hook you up wth a load of people racing C class with all assists off etc.

Two adjacent seats in block 41, row AA for sale for the forthcoming home game V Brighton on 15th November. Asking price is face value, i.e. £44 the pair. I'm not willing to sell either separately but I can deliver them to you personally as long as you're in the Southampton area. PM if interested/

chuffin ell kev ... he's beautiful!

john, i've just noticed this myself. I can't believe what they've gone and done. I used to tune a car in a particular category and go and race it with randoms from across the world. I can't do this any more! It's craziness

Actually marco, he has a point about the multiplayer options. They have been significantly scaled down since Forza 2. Whereas previously you could search for a public lobby that was using a certain class, or car, or had assists off etc, now you can only select the type of racing you want to do (drift / circuit) and choose from a limited selection of car classes. The only way to get a fully configurable multiplayer game is to run a private lobby and arrange offline to play your friends online at a certain time. Their is no way for a member of the public, to search or enter these private lobbies so if you have less than 8 racers online, you have to fill the grid up with AI cars. They've ruined a large part of how the game was played online and it's bitterly disappointing in my book.

They've added a'cheap' 24 month tariff for £29 though as well, which offers more minutes and texts than the cheap o2 one. o2 only do a £29 contract on the 18month pakcages i think.

can't wait to see a pic ... i wonder how ugly it might be

no ... you could sew them.

A refraction is the opposite to an infraction. It's what Pancake gives when he feels like having a laugh.

St Will, please take my lounge thread seriously. This isn't the muppet show and some of your posts here have threatened to insult other posters. I'm sure I don't need to remind you that such behaviour is a refraction worthy offence.

last tour for forseeable future as well

Party poopers ... why couldn't they shrink them even?

I can officially confirm that I know something you don't. That's official.

is that official?

I don't understand why you think you can predict a future that never happened. I said we would have 'struggled' under Ferguson, not that he wouldn't have kept us up, and I certainly wasn't wishing to start posing hypothetical 'what if' scenarios. My point was, and is, that other factors prevent a manger from working at their best. Those factors would have played a greater role than anything else during our relegation season, to the extent that, if you believe the official line by the club, we could ony have afforded the Dutch duo anyway. The hypothetical scenario in which Pearson was appointed and supported financially didn't and (apparently) couldn't have existed anyway so, as I also said, this conjecture is an absolute waste of time. To look at Pearson's progress now at another club and to try and draw parallels between his current situation and what he may have done at Saints is ridiculous and serves no purpose whatsoever.

That's something else he said himself in the timeout interview on the subject as well! His suggestion that the queen's pussy is haunted may have been a little closer to the mark actually!

10th nov release. i've tried to put link to prices here but don't know if it'll work as i had to enter a code to get to that page. basically, it's similar priced contracts with extra minutes. You get 'unlimited' web use and wifi but it's actually limited to 750mb per month.

I didn't say that though did I? Try reading it again if you have the patience.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. I was going to give you a dignified response since 80% of your post seemed to warrant it. However, your facetious, and simultaneously hilarious, ending means I'd rather go and clean the bathroom.

I can certainly see what he means when he complains about the BBC giving the panellists pictures of Addlington and co getting off the plance and asking them to come up with something funny about it. Realistically, what are you going to come up with?

Bring it on.

lol ... very funny though. Actually, Boyle made a good point about the comments when he said ... ... and since left Mock the Week as he felt it had got boring and that he was going through the motions.

Said "that, on account of her boyfriend being 'really attractive', she must be 'very dirty'."

Ah ... just found some further info here Rather confusing in terms of working out if these are 'new' comments but it appears he said "that the Olympic swimming champion resembled "someone who's looking at themselves in the back of a spoon"."
