HBO's Game of Thrones
"It's a gift from the Great Stallion" has become catchphrase of the week in my house already.

Bin Laden is dead
BTW, Chobham, where the armour comes from, is a leafy little village in Surrey, England. You never see tanks there.

Bin Laden is dead
Indeed, the day LoF pretending to be a Russian tries to mock anothers performance in Afghanistan is the day irony died.

Seal Team Six appreciation thread
I wonder if those shields are standard issue? Anyhow, this is an appreciaton thread, take your irony elsewhere, hippy.

Fair point enoch, but meadnsex is better opiate than cabbage, vodka and hard labour, or prayers and harsh schooling.

Bin Laden is dead
Did they take the DNA test before or after they urinated on him? Because that could have skewed the results... [nerd]waste products like urine and faeces aren't great for DNA, unless you are lucky and get some low-copy via other body fluids in the mix.[/nerd]

Seal Team Six appreciation thread
So Seal Team Six (whoever they are) were the operators who slotted UBL. Good for them. I think the SEALS get a raw deal. The movie was awful, I mean... Charlie Sheen in a golf buggy? Demi Moore with a crew-cut? So this thread is here to say thanks to the guys on SEAL Team Six, hope they get a few beers and medals. And... who's next?

Bin Laden is dead
I suppose we could always have asked him to surrender himself to the Dutch or Swedes. He could have written his memoirs whilst having aromatherapy, then get released after three or four years.

Bin Laden is dead
I'm civilized and moral and I'm thrilled to bits, then again I don't recognise your legitimacy as the morality police.

Morgie and mkreku would flip out and explode if they accepted America had done something positive.

Bin Laden is dead
Muslims have to be buried within 24 hours of their death. They asked the Saudis to take the body, they said no (don't blame them). So do they (a) give more grist to the grievance mill or (b) dump him at sea and give the world's tinfoil hat brigade a boner? It's a lose / lose. Never mind, the bastard is dead, kudos the the US Navy SEALs.

For someone like me I suspect the controls of a 747 might make more sense. Although any game that uses the term 'Trollify' can't be all bad

Conspiracy theorists add to the fun of the internet. OBL-as-seafood is a great ending for the PoS in my opinion.

Calax, I'm not used to MMOs but that gui looks v complicated. Is it?

And there was me planning on not having a drink today.

Libya
Look, it's really simple. Gaddafi and his sons have the following options: 1. Predator drone strike 2. Immediate Romanian-style execution once the rebels roll into Tripoli 3. Suicide in the bunker 4. Escape to Venezuala with Hugo as their host, with no assets because they'll be frozen 5. ICC at the Hague followed by a comfy cell with satellite TV for thirty years, hey they'll do more than the Lockerbie bomber. I couldn't care less personally, as long as it's quick and the fighting stops.

Is this the son who was a footballer perchance?

main difference between russia and usa
Yes, but only because Chuck created the world.

Dragon Age 2
To be fair, I'm sure Mass Effect 3 will be a full game with content and everything and not a SLaM DuNK! Will there be a DA3, d'you think? Or will they go back to making RPGs?

Putin is the Chuck Norris of autocratic politics.

What you did today
Got up very early, before the rest of the house stirred. 'twas a lovely spring day so I took my pedigree Monte-Hund bitch for a long walk by the Thames (the Thames is very near the Schloss Monte). Das hund was intrigued by some swans, which quite properly scared the living daylights out of her. I came back and watched the news, laughing evilly at the discomfort of the bien pensant British Left after the Royal Wedding and the imminent destruction of the 'Yes' camp in the AV referendum. My son then thrashed me on the Wii (one day he will be old enough to play RTS games whereupon the serve will be well and truly returned). Having had an actioned-packed Sunday I turned my hand to making interesting sandwiches and drinking beer. I have consumed a wrap made of peri-peri chicken, Spanish omelette, manchego cheese, olives, lettuce, salsa and sour cream with garlic and chives. With a nice cold beer. I am considering pottering about in the garden for a bit with junior before taking the tribe down the pub mit das hund. Later tonight I will get stuck into my Sons of Anarchy boxed set and go to bed late as tomorrow is a Bank Holiday for May Day. Life, all things being equal, is good.
