Got Madden 13 for my birthday. Fun game. Played a few games on the easiest difficult as I'd not played any in that franchise before, then decided to try it on Pro....ended up losing 70-0 to Green Bay Packers lol


Ol' Farrage will win that one. He's a populist who is quite good at playing on people's fears when it comes to Europe. Plus, Clegg is hardly a credible politician nowadays.

And Farage is?
 
Probably moreso. He'd have some degree of support from the Eurosceptics of the country (I hesitate to say Daily Mail readers as this family gets the Mail and I've read it a few times) while even Lib Dems hate Clegg.

But for most neutrals (myself included) Clegg is a lot more credible than Farage. There are fewer politicians I dislike more than him.
 
Both of their characters are great. I thought the first two episodes were a little too slow paced even for me, but I'm up to episode four now and it keeps getting better and better. Really unique so far. SOme of McConoughey's characters thoughts on religion won't go down too well in the USA. :biggrin:[/QUOTE]

Great. I'll look forward to that. Loved the bit where he was expressing his thoughts on human conciousness being an evolutionary accident, that whole car journey conversation was fantastic. You're right though, they are both great characters, but I'm finding Rust more enjoyable at the moment.
 
(And this is coming from someone who once dressed up as Nazi Walt Disney for a Disney-themed fancy dress night out.)

There was a tabloidy story a while ago about some student who went out in a nazi fancy dress costume and how disgusting it was etc. At the same time one of my mates had been fairy regularly seen in student bars wearing full SS uniform. Said uniform was promptly retired to the back of the wardrobe after that.
 
I'm more concerned about American Dad and Family Guy! And also Some Girls, they've gotta bring that back. The Revolution Will be Televised is quite amusing as well, to some extent.

In other news, 'tis me birthday today.

Happy birthday. Looks like BBC3 is about to go online only. I'm guessing they pay quite a bit for Family Guy/American Dad episodes? Not sure though.
PS. one of my wife's friends is newly single and I think she is your perfect woman. Think Leslie Winkle from Big Bang Theory (but younger). I realise this is completely unhelpful.
 
Farage is one of the few normal(ish) UKIP candidates. He raises some valid points, but is never vote UKIP as they're full of racists, sent climate change and support gun ownership. Farage is good speaker, in fairness.

Thanks!

Never watched big bang theory. No idea who Leslie Winkle is.

support gun ownership.

Nothing wrong with responsible gun ownership. If I were to move to America, I'd probably get a gun
 
I really can't see that going well for clegg, UKIP thrives on populism and fear mongering.

It'll go well for both. Lib Dem voters aren't going to be won over by UKIP, and vice versa, but both will nick some Labour and Tory voters.
