    That's not just bimbos, it's a worldwide phenomena. It's obviously called expresso because we can drink it so quickly.

    Kind of in two minds about the car thing. I don't think they were right to do that, because, although the public paid for the car, that only means the public will be paying for the damage. So they're basically smashing up my car - cheeky beggars. Plus, the cars wasn't empty. I think at the point where you attack individuals that's too far. However, I haven't seen how that window was smashed. I saw the paint on the car in the video, which I have no issue with. I read Camilla may have been poked with a stick, or that someone may have touched her through the window. Terrible really, as I expect the stick totally didn't match her outfit and being touched by a commoner probably devalues her diamond necklace immensely. But nothing as to how the window was smashed. In the video I saw the reporter mentioned the noise of the smashed window as the car drove through, but I couldn't actually see any damage, except in a still photo later, which might not even have been the same car for all I know. Anyway, the whole thing is far from one sided. The government have gone too far on this, it would seem, and so did the police. Since when is a shield and a massive baton a measured and proportionate response to someone shouting? All in all I think it's a terrible shame. Despite extreme actions, nothing good has come of it. All that's left is damaged property, a further damaged image of the country's students and youth, of politics and the police, and probably a fear for many that they won't even want to go near a protest in the future. I think the only winners are those who own the newspapers. All this bad news and a royal wedding to bore us with. Lucky them.

    The Royal family!! They are german, i have nothing against germans by the way! any england patriot who supports the monarchy are not a true patriot... I think of my mom when england football sing the national anthem! (my old queen)
    People who moan about the weather!! "i hope we have a hot summer" and when the heat comes "its to hot, i hope we get a cold winter" Then the cold comes "its too cold" aaargh! make your bloody mind up! I love the cold because you can cosy up and get warm! in the heat i cannot cool down!
    - oh and top wipeout pilots who quit wen they get sent to the back of the pack or get eliminated! saw losers! "oh it was my internet connection" yeah right... it was those rockets i fired up your backside!

    look up the history of riots in the united states..

    you want just the use of baton and shields, to rubber bullets, tear gas, and national guard!.

    when the military is called in to restore order. a lot of people start strapping up their own weapons.. if possble. but here

    u should like Rodney King riot in south central la to most of los angelus, ca

    u should like the detroit riots of the 50 to 60s, im not getting ti right, but im just telling you.

    and the unknown number of riots that happend after the end of a college and professional sports game of football, maybe lacross ( give me a damn break for that sport ), soccor ( wow) basketball.

    and the riots sometimes that happen in new orleans during or after mardie gra

    When you try and carry more stuff on Stalker by editing the game files but instead screw up the game so you have to install it again.

    The colleague, who has the shift after me, came 40(!) minutes late to work. The reason: Because it's chrismas, she was drinking champagne at the other department, in which she is normaly working!

    I was very upset about this person!

    The miserable behaviour of my boss at the company christmas party.
    Throughout the year, I work diligently and hard for his prosperity...
    But what do I get, instead of a appropriate "thank you"?
    I just got a flippant: "You ought to visit a tanning salon".

    He should get a prize, for being the personification of social incompetence!

    Where I work we have a Christmas party in a hotel somewhere, which is black tie and a fancy dinner etc. Then we have a more relaxed Christmas lunch in on another day. I never go to the Christmas party but always to the lunch. They used to do these spoof awards, which were fun. But now they do those at the party. Last year all that happened at the lunch was a short "Happy Christmas" speech from our group leader. This year though, no-one said anything at all. It's a real non-event. To have everyone sitting there together and no-one to bring any kind of focus to the whole thing is such an anti-climax.

    I have gotten rid of Stalker and am re-installing for the umpteenth time. I can't stand getting to Red Forest, just barely surviving the radiation then getting headshotted from a mile off by some brainwashed tit in a watch tower only to have the game crash when I try and load my save.

    Being awake while the rest of the world is asleep really does my head in. This always happens to me when not working, i.e. forcing myself out of bed in the morning and into bed at night. I just get into these crazy sleeping patterns and end up nocturnal. It's so weird, and also very lonely.

    Seems as if that's even debatable recently, but it's at least way way better.

    I just hate it when things happen that irritate me. Really grinds my gears.

    Those damn cheating mother f^(kers who cheat online on wipeout pulse. And the they make a room name saying "Bom has No skills" are you f***ing with me?! Those hackers are people with NO SKILLS.

    Grr *sigh* I feel better now since I took the anger out (^~^)
    How come I never encountered any of these legendary hackers I keep reading about in any of the 5000+ online races I had on Pulse? I'd love to actually catch somebody cheating and then find them on some forum and annoy them.

    btw, can you reveal their usernames for my/others' amusement?

    Cool

    I encountered hackers while playing Pulse and certainly didn't play it online as much as you do, MrSmadSmartAlex. It's rather poor form to claim they don't exist...especially since a couple of those hackers have even shown up here and bragged about their "clan". Losers exist. It's annoying. The end. Bom will eventually move on from Pulse, I'm sure, or switch to passworded games with friends only.
    What grinds my gears...I don't know, I haven't got any gears left as they've all ground off a long time ago I think. Maybe.

    You should switch to a belt drive. Less efficient, but no gears to grind and easier to fix and get going again when all worn out.
