Haha tell me about it yeldar - although it's not a majority, Cameron got the most votes, so shouldn't he govern anyway?

2 party politics is a joke.
I hate these pompous bas&*%$. Every single one of them is a complete knob.
Well, Nick Clegg has pretty much indicated that he'll be talking to the Tories first... and going by what's been said it probably won't end up being a coalition but a minority government. We just need to see if Brown backs down or keeps hanging on by his fingernails. :P
I reckon the UK will have another election before the end of the year by the looks of things.
A coalition won't be able to get anything done without too many party faction appeasing compromises, a toothless tiger.
The UK or any other country for that matter can't afford to have that in the current economic climate, especially in Europe with the Greek economy pulling the Euro down.
Id prefer to entrust my country to a circus permorming monkey rather than these monkeys. At least he'd be able to perform tricks :)
Well so long as Gordy backs down we may be alright. Clegg is a Tory in Lib shoes so maybe that'll help the cause.
Might be another election but I reckon so long as Brown buggers off
people will be happy enough to settle for it.
At least my not voting didn't affect the outcome in my constituency ^_^
We won't be alright because, as blackwiggle says, very little is likely to get done. In this state we'd have to rely on politicians making the right decisions for the sake of the country, even if it meant going against they're own political beliefs. That's not going to happen, so little will get done. In the past I don't think hung parliaments have been all bad and have had their successes, but given that decisive action is really key at the moment, things don't look great.
People seem to be under the impression that Cameron and Clegg feeling the wuv wuv will be good for the country, but it won't mean anything at all. They can talk all they want about electoral reform and the future of the economy, but I can't see the Cons being particularly flexible about two of the issues on which they most fundamentally disagree with the other parties.
The most annoying thing for me is that Cameron got in simply by pleading to the throwing change round as a buzzword, as if 'change' is synonymous with 'improvement', or 'different' with 'better', and no-one in the other parties thought to point voters in the direction of a thesaurus.:mad: I just think his whole campaign was so lazy. Labour were always up against it. With the war, the economy, the fact they've been in so long, that Gordon Brown didn't get elected and bears more than a passing resemblance to a sleepy garden toad, they weren't likely to do well. But at least they had something more to show than the most obvious slogan anyone could possibly think of.
Its such a farse this year. Thousands of people got turned away and unable to vote. What a joke.
You just ruined my wuv wuv :(
Cameron wasn't lazy, he was minimalist in his approach. Tactical :nod
:p
Hung Parliament sucks balls, so coalition is the way...cept that probs
won't work. Basso we're buggered.
People usually blame their problems on the nearest target. Cameron let them think that that is the right way to do things. He just reinforced that one message over and over. If people hadn't already been thinking that way then he would basically have brainwashed them. He appealed to the simpleton in all of us. Luckily he did it a bit too much and not everyone fell for it. But it was still very lazy. He rarely said anything of substance. In previous election I've not cared at all. But after seeing Cameron's methods this year I was really quite pissed off at him for thinking people are that stupid. It's really quite insulting. If people want to vote conservative based on policies then I have no problems with that, but that was never his game and everyone knows it.
There's a cat prowling across the rooftops right now where I am. Looks like it has something in its sights. It's cool to watch.
Personally I don't trust any of these ex-public school boys! Dodgy music tastes, strange haircuts and think they have a god given right to rule over us. But enough about Yeldar :p.
The Gordon Brown slip up when he was overheard in the car talking about a lady he just met summed up what I think about politicians these days. It showed a complete lack of respect and highlighted the contempt that these so called leaders really think of us. They all will of had the same conversation with their aids at some point so I don't think It's just Gordon Brown.
I voted Labour and always will, but I know really that they are all tarred with the same brush, that brush being covered in **** not tar!
My constituency used to have a Labour MP and a Conservative controlled council. I just found out it now has a Conservative MP and a Labour council.:dizzy
Ahem... :lolQuote:

He he!
Something like this might suit you
Wow, the resemblance is uncanny. Same face and everything.
So who actually won in the pommy election? Still nothing is certain atm right?
How does one usually deal with cockroaches? I've just done a 12hr bus ride and need a shower cept there's a massive one lurking in there :(
Call the Men In Black.
Spray those airborne insect sprays that kill them.DO NOT overdo this though.I once did this with my younger bro to get rid of that roach.However,we overdid it and thus oversprayed the spray......in the master bedroom and toilet.Got a telling off by our parents.....frack....
We got him! Stunned him with a hiking boot then caught him in a glass and put him outside so he could pester other people :D
Either that or find its way back in again, just like it got in the first time. Except this time it could be when you're sleeping, with your mouth wide open and...or not.
I just downloaded the declassified flight manual for the SR-71, its long but omg its AWESOME!
They declassified it? What? When did that happen?
Found another cockroach under my bed...not sure whether to risk sleeping in it. Massive bug phobia :paperbag
Few years ago, but finally someone has uploaded a complete .PDF recently (or at least I just found it recently)
108mb, 750 pages
Yeldar Quote:Found another cockroach under my bed...not sure whether to risk sleeping in it. Massive bug phobia
It's just a early prototype model of a Mirage AG craft, I found one behind my fridge last summer, they don't bite, but they are fast hard to kill when on the run :)
or the cockroach is there to distract you from the army of bug in your pillow :D
why dont you kill the bastard cockroach. Get one of you nice shoe's Yeldar and give it a good wack!
Problemsolved.
Hey, I had a pretty nasty flu these past few weeks. Only just got over it, only to catch the vomiting bug offa some one... Not at work today, Hurrah? NOT... This sucks really bad :(... maybe I shoulda posted this one in the Gears Grinded thread... :?
Lockheed (aka Skunk Works) made some fascinating schitt, under the management of Ben Rich (the then CEO of Lockheed). Yes, the SR-71 BlackBird was a machine (did mach3, sonic booms and all that), but for me - the F117a Stealth Bomber was the piece de resistance... and they made us resist... They made that stealthj bomber in the 60's would you know? But debuted in 1993... the first desert storm with Bush Senior (muppet)Quote:

@ RedScar - seeing as you are loving the awesomeness of the SR71, I recommend a book named "Skunk Workls" authored by Ben RIch - it's a real EYE OPENER - I loved it and have read it through like 3 times already... :)
AH, searching through this thread, me finds this -
You know what mate - You're right! :paperbag... shoulda seen that one coming really.Quote:

The TV stations,the Aus cricket board and sport reporters are bemoaning the fact that cricket, the once most followed sport in Australia, is suddenly dying.
The one day internationals get barely 40% of ground capacity now, it was only around 5 years ago you had to buy ticket up to a month beforehand to get a seat, and TV rating have plummeted where before you could see nearly every set in your street would be watching.
I reckon it's a combination of too much cricket now with the Indian premier league and the 20/20 matches which has turned it into baseball basically, it's diluted the excitement of those once classic one day matches.
If you add in the betting scandals / match fixing, and demise of the West Indies & Pakistan as competitive teams, it's no wonder interest has been lost.
Who wants to watch a sport which can last for five days yet still end in a draw?!
I know that's test cricket, but even one days are boring now compared to the frenetic twenty20
I completely agree bw. There's far too much cricket nowadays. 20-20 used to be cool but it's a bit meh now. 20-20 world cup should be banned, I don't like it.
I didn't want to use my nice shoes on a massive bug, it might infect them with bug juice. Smacked it with a hiking boot ;)
Found one under my bed as well, so not cool. Saw some monkeys today though, that was nice ^_^
I shouted "monkey" at them a la Johnny Vegas - didn't get a response :P
No response? Maybe they already know they're monkeys. That would be crazy.
@ ACE-FLO
Ya I've read most of it when I borrowed it from a buddy, but never did get to finish it.
Finish it, the part about the manned U2 spy planes gave me plenty of belly wobbling entertainment. The chapter on the SR71 is coooooool man :rock
Spy planes?? i think your getting a bit paranoid there Ace if you know what i mean ;)
Buy me a copy ACE? I'm still looking for a job this summer after finishing my 3rd year of Uni
You can "borrow" my copy :)
@Eureka - Paranoia ... it's just so exciting. A bit like being bipolar, or living out separate identities, am I right ;) ;) Nudge nudge ... it's gotta be the excitement dude, why else?
Bipolar :beer:eek:beer:eek haha love you Ace you crazy nut
Wait - I just recognized your PSN ID - you're Eric Prydz? I really thought you was someone else for a sec... kinda reminded me of someone... controversial :D
