Played it for the first time and went straight into the first practice session in Bahrain on expert difficulty with all driver aids turned off, in a Hispania. By the end of the session I got my quickest lap down to 2.2 seconds slower than my team mate Senna, I think i did a 2:07.5. Very impressed with it so far. Have done a few quick races in the meantime, it's a shame the safety car doesn't come out when there is a big crash

Ed gets elected because of the union's backing, then along comes the first speech and he's immediately distancing himself from them

After a 6-1 win 14,000 fans turn up for the Bristol City game.

He sure has

Because Boris portrays himself as a joke and half his votes came from people who voted for him 'for a laugh' As for Ed Miliband, not convinced by him at all during this conference. To me he seems like a poor man's David Cameron. He's a better bet for Labour than his brother or Ed Balls, but the opinion poll will always do them a lot of favours at the moment. Give him a year and his popularity will be a lot lower I suspect.

Kitson and Lawrence alone are on one third of that

Speaking of repetitive spammers. . .

A friend of mine has a habit of getting isolated words mixed up. He once claimed "the rain and wind is horrendous, there must be a typhoid blowing out there" My writing was "inelligible" Someone "hit their head and got percussion"

No it doesn't but I'm referring to the inconsistency here. As for 'who' it was a poster called Scooby, who only disappeared a while back when hypochondriac and someone else revealed his true identity. As for 'where' I suggest searching for the terms "boot boy", "Lord Lowe" and "that insect Wilde". An obvious,consistent and provocative spammer who was allowed to post on here for what, 18 months? End of the day I and many others on here it would appear, feel we've paid £5 for stricter moderation, a crackdown on debatable content, a widely condemned change of aesthetic appearance and a forum which on recent matchdays has been at best 'very slow' and at worst 'inaccessible'. Like I've said I think the forum was superior when it was free.

and this is what I don't get. Why an interesting poster can get banned for posting one dubious thread when someone like scooby for example, could spend well over a year spamming and posting libellously on here constantly without being banned

The only thing I can see GM did wrong was posting a PM on the main board. While I see that can be rightly condemned, I think banning him for what he posted was harsh. I think what is frustrating a lot of people is simple. We are now having to pay to fully use a messageboard that was better when it was free.

there was a launderette in one of the Grand Theft Autos called Mr Wong's. It had the motto "If it aint Wong it aint white" Thought that was clever.

I just love how this thread has been started in the lounge, as opposed to the muppet show

Fareham

The Leicester City defending was the worst I've seen for a very long time, and the ref appeared to give Pompey a lot and Leicester very little. Next few weeks are crucial for Pompey, to truly kick start their season they have to beat Bristol City

Ed Miliband has won it

Goallllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pompey 1-0 Leicester

Liverpool fans tend to be as deluded as Newcastle fans have been in recent years (2 different 'messiahs' within 12 months and the Newcs still got relegated LOL), although don't forget they are always going to have millions of morons due to the sheer size of their fanbase. Hodgson has an impossible job there and I feel for him personally. This season is going to be even more of a wake up call than last season for Liverpool IMO. They are in dire financial straits, have a very average squad barring a few world class players. They are a million miles away from Spurs and Arsenal, let alone Man U and Chelsea. Mascherano has seen it coming, Torres obviously hasn't. 5 games in and they are already 10 points off the top spot. Says it all.

It does make you wonder if that has anything to do with it, and whether Genoa are simply giving back the same excuses they've been given. LOL

I would so laugh if Genoa sent them a cheque for a fifth of the amount they owe them 20p in the pound and all that

TBF Brundle has ranted on about them for ages in real life being useless so it's probably quite realistic

He's admitted it was a wind up LOL http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/other_sports/snooker/9027943.stm

I went to Austria with the wife once in June '97 I think it was. Rained constantly for the whole week. 2nd day we took a cable car to the top of the valley and the snow was 6ft deep One of the best er, summer holidays we've had.

I doubt Ronnie would have been aware of that though
