Is everyone getting half a million not going to fuck the economy up? Are garages, cars etc staying same price?

In the real world, it would cause inflation (As Ducktales so effectively illustrates) but since Rockstar have complete control over prices in-game I doubt it will be an issue.

Plane from Moscow to Manchester had to be diverted to Denmark yesterday to throw off drunken CSKA fans. Bodes well for this evening

Because they know how to deal with drunks in Denmark.

I heard there was a guy doing squat lifts with a weight so heavy he shit his insides out. Never exercise, it's bad for you.

There was, and I've seen the picture alongside a whole bunch of other horrendous things on Rotten.

Anyone able to shed any light on the point of being a 'good sport' online?

You get cash bonuses for it.

The later half of the current season of Boardwalk Empire is fucking awesome.

Oh, and Michael Shannon is the best.

Had completely forgotten how awesome it is to just lay down and rest in a comfy bed in the mornings.

This, as well. I've just started working from 9:00-5:30, meaning I'm up at 8:00 and won't be home until 6:00. I'm planning on joining a gym once my first paycheck comes through, but I'm already thinking how damn hard it will be to motivate myself to work out once I finish an eight-hour shift. It's already dark by that time and all I want to do is get home, watch some TV and relax in the evening.

I'm going to force myself to do it, but it doesn't half feel like a chore.

Check if you can't find a gym near your work that is open in the morning instead, is my recommendation.

Surely you have the urge now and again to move around and get your heart pumping, whether thats playing football going for a jog or lifting some weights.

Nope.

That would mean getting sweaty and smelly, having my calves cramp up and turn my saliva turn into some thick, blood-flavoured paste. Simply put exercise makes me feel like shit.

I get that in the long run it's good for me, but why would I waste 30 to 90 minutes of my day doing something that makes me feel horrendous and gives me no enjoyment when I could read a book, watch a film or play games instead?

No its just laziness.

Get off your fucking pedestal.

How do you physically not do exercise for coming on 3 years?

Easy. Working out is boring as fuck.

What did you make of 2001?

I watched it three years ago and am still trying to process that movie.

Cinematic masterpiece.

I figured this is the best place for a quick response, could people try and download this test torrent file.

I'm trying to set the site up to distribute torrents quicker and faster and this is just a small 3mb test.

Any help/feedback much appreciated!

EDIT: Note when I say "try and download" I don't mean just the attachment, I mean load the torrent file into a torrent program and try and download the .rar file inside


It has no seeders.

Our last relegation was forced because the football Ltd. that controlled the professional side of the club went bankrupt.

The club itself was never truly threatened, even if it was (and still is) in rough shape financially.

And by drawing 0-0 in the must-win final game of the season against Värnamo we have been relegated back to the third tier. 13 draws in 30 games is fucking ridiculous.

If we ever make it back to Superettan the board better make a point of buying an established striker before the season.

Speaking of, has anyone got the new game even? I'm not paying £30-odd for something I'll likely play as much as I did FM2013 so if it looks decent I'll get it when it's in a sale or something.

I'm saving my money at the moment. If I don't get it as a Christmas gift I'll probably wait 'til sometime in spring.

Buying a console for a single game is pretty nuts though.

The other games I occasionally play on a console like the NHL series or GTA aren't exclusives. They'll be out for both when they eventually come out, which makes it pretty clear cut that I'd chose the console with the only exclusive title that I actually care about.

Xbox One has Forza, PS4 does not.

If GT6 was a PS4 launch title, I might have considered it, but given the way Polyphony work it'll probably be 5 years before there's a proper racing game for the PS4.

Another former footballer with ALS? I remember hearing somewhere that it is more prevalent among former footballers than it is in the general population. It's been a pretty big issue in Italy because of Gianluca Signorini and Stefano Borgonovo.

It's a horrendous disease and I would not wish it upon my worst enemies.

Or 21/22 in my case. I always actively avoided them but there are one or two of them I like now

Yeah, they were the material for jokes and insults amongst my friends back then and I never really listened to them other than on the radio.

Heard one of their songs on the radio a couple of days ago and now their music is stuck in my head, I guess to a degree nostalgia is making their music "better".

So, what's everyone's favourite Lou Reed song?

Heroin.

Don't think he'd have appreciated your 'RIP':

"It always bothers me to see people writing 'RIP' when a person dies. It just feels so insincere and like a cop out. To me 'RIP' is the microwave dinner of posthumous honours." - Lou Reed.

You know, I agree with him and normally I wouldn't do it. I was just too tired/lazy to write something more meaningful yet I just felt I had to write something given the role his (or rather The Velvet Underground's) music has played in my life.

My phone got stolen on the first day and had horrible texts/naked pics sent to my family. Never been so angry in my fucking life.


With the person who stole it?

Roma with a late goal despite being down to 10 men to make it 9 wins in a row, and they've still only conceded one goal.
