There are frenchmen in LA Noire? When all you have is a hammer.... I have to nip out to buy meat for lunch. But will be back later when I intend to crack open 1) a bottle of Spanish white from Navarre 2) Some elves' torsos.

I can see why you wouldn't look too closely at the posts, but you DO see all the comments about Euros and Yanks being crap?

Come on, chaps. can't have this die off! Am on station all today, although will mostly be shooting Frenchmen in ETW. Or perhaps LA Noire.

There's also the fact that even dwarvish fellows like me have trouble getting into and out of the bloody things. I'm rarely troubled by claustrophobia, but sitting in the driving seat of a Soviet tank is like wearing a wetsuit made of hammers, inside a dustbin. A dustbin that is slightly too small. Inside another tank.

I met a Scandinavian officer who said that the ejection of shell casings certainly caused injuries. To supporting infantry. Nothing quite like a tank design which actively discourages infantry cooperation.

I also agree. Whatever your stance on immigration from countries with developmental issues, it is just common sense to acknowledge that those immigrants have particular needs for integration and support in getting settled. Probably my biggest bugbear with the Left in the UK, is not their helping the poor. It's their helping the poor so poorly.

riiiiiiiiiiiight.

Out for a few drinks last night. I really must be losing weight, as I haven't had someone confuse my age for a while. All I'll say is that for a 25 year old I've got a damn good beer belly. Although I will finally concede that I do in fact have quite a nice arse.

I'm not watching some fellah die, first thing on a Sunday. Not if I can help it. All I'll say is that simply shooting someone doesn't necessarily stop them dead <sic>. And that we (in the UK) had a completely random and innocent girl stabbed to death on a bus just the other week.

So not only did they pick a cage fighter, but a fully warmed-up cage fighter?

Working on Saturdays is a goddamn sin. Nah, it's OK. I quite like a good bit of physical work. You get your objectives and *bam* you're off. You either get it right or you don't!

I've known several very good intelligent Russians, and I am quite certain that if they read any of this rubbish they'd be instantly sick into a bucket.

I'd favour a voluntary expatriation program. For anyone and everyone. "Think England is just crap? Fed up of living here in the same dingy flat? HM Queen Elizabeth II will pay you a cash sum of $100,000 to rescind UK citizenship and f*** off, unto the nth generation." Cheaper than funding most malcontents to stay in the UK, considering benefits and the damage done by crime. We'd start a new diaspora of cretins. It'd be like that bit when turtles spawn and their young head out to sea.

Had to do a double shift on the 'shop floor' today. My finger ends are all busted up, and I think one of my fingers might have actually started to melt. The nailbed looks distinctly weird. Wound up being 'standing up straight' tired. That phase where you're quite capable of doing the same over again, but if you don't remind yourself of this fact by standing up straight, shoulders back, you'll begin to slouch and then deflate like a party balloon.

And how is that compatible with free speech? (open question)

So is it just a penetration issue? Your post sounded to me like there were others also.

Actually I agree, I do think Oby believes Russian culture is superior to Western culture. Its flawed and horribly incorrect but its easy to see how someone can believe that when they only have access to certain sources of information. You can see this from his numerous links I have always said " the Internet is the greatest source of information of the 21st century, but it can also be greatest source of misinformation" I don't think Russian culture is inferior. I am opposed to the lies he is promulgating precisely because they defame Russia most of all. His is not the Russia of the valorous poet or mathematician. It is Russia of the venal bully boy and oligarch. If Tolstoy were on this forum he would challenge the sordid ****er to a duel! If Altschuller saw his posts he'd spend 40 years working out how to prevent another one!

I remember listening to a distant gun battle when I was a kid and thinking it sounded exactly like that, actually! You must have lived in a really tough neighborhood. Not IN, near!

Refs on those dissatisfactions would be very helpful. If you have time.

Are you funting asleep? These radicals <sic> are not immigrants. They are the sons and grandsons of immigrants. Frequently the parents are quite nice, hard working people. Consequently, none of your countermeasures apply.

Either you're becoming a mature adult who's interested on a relationship above sex or who's interested in other sex Sometimes your pre-conscious will pick up on danger signals your conscious mind can't. I'd strongly suggest that this was the case here. Beautiful is all well and good, but it doesn't compensate for having to lock yourself in the bathroom all night while they offer to circumcise you with pruning shears. Or set fire to your flat. Or steal your cash. Or give you explosive herpes.

I don't think one can describe second generation or third generation Englishers of being capable of deportation to anyone other than England. Although now I think of it, I suppose we could legally just send them to the Orkneys. They can try causing trouble up there.

But if the aiming software is so accurate why does it NEED two guns pointing in the same direction? Other vehicle electronics could just as easily be put into another vehicle. What you've got is a wider, hungrier, slower version of an IFV. ...That looks badass. BMP-3 has a rapid cannon, missiles, AND a heavy mortar/gun/launcher thingy. I still say it's just a way to try and eke out usefulness from an obsolescent MBT among nations now more scared of their own people than anyone external.

And I can't hear him over the sound of the estimate of Cromwell killing 80% of the Irish coming from a book written in 1868. You can judge the academic quality for yourselves. http://books.google.com/books?id=Yh8HAAAAQAAJ&pg=177 Or you could, you know, just ignore the whole question.
