Especially if you're trying to chase Cazadores around. Or maybe I'm just crap at aiming.

 

Man the USA justice system is so ****.

 

You just watch Death Row on BBC3 by chance?

 

Yep.

 

Was it a repeat of the one showing the trial and the jury?

 

Yeah, Guy Heinze.

 

Yeah that's the one I saw earlier this week. Didn't know whether to be angry or upset.

 

Erm I think I was upset, and confused. I don't know how such a seemingly-botched case can return that verdict, especially after what happened.

I don't know US law and the permutations surrounding it though.

 

I really need to get around to watching that.

 

8th amendment: freedom from cruel and unusual punishment.

Has the death penalty and tortures suspected terrorists who haven't been convicted of a crime in Guantanamo.

 

Here's a write-up on the case, which has some stuff I've not seen/heard before: http://murderpedia.org/male.H/h/heinze-guy.htm

 

I was thought the same.

 

Yeah, I really enjoyed the first one...the combat took some getting used to, but it was a rather neat bridge between turn-based/real-time, and in DA2 pausing and ordering commands was generally unnecessary. Plus, the story was a mess and the characters lacked depth; it wouldn't have been a terrible game as a standalone, but it sucked as a sequel.

 

I want to meet and thank Juror 152.

 

Hmm I don't get how his family wouldn't wake up.

 

HTC M8 is my new fave phone. Came out 25th got mine today as I am still not back at work.

 

I'm not sure where to put this enquiry (although I'm sure there could be a few suggestions) but having watched Saints at St Marys for several years, we nearly always seem to start matches playing towards The Northam End.
Because the cameras were focussed on Andre Marriner yesterday, I saw the coin toss in close up, so the decision on which way to play in the first half seems to be down to pure chance, as opposed to 'We are at home, so it is our choice'.
Unless we use a double-headed coin, or are phenomenally fortunate, the opposition must win about 50% of the toss ups, so what is the choice given to either side? To choose ends, or to choose to kick off?
I can't believe that every away team would choose to start off attacking the Chapel End, unless they believe that playing towards their own fans in the second half will give them an advantage, so is there a reason why Saints have nearly always (not always, so it must be decided by someone) kicked off towards The Northam End?

 

It's a good question and I believe it is almost just accepted and only an indifferent opposing Captain who changes ends. It does make sense they attack towards their fans in the second half also.

I'd like the ground altered in the concourse areas to allow us to move the away fans from behind a goal.

 

I've noticed that too. Over the last six or seven years that I've been going regularly, I can only remember a couple of examples of it being different, and even then I can't remember the opposition.

That said, I wish it was the other way around, I'm in kingsland north so I see the first half far better than the second, and it seems most of our best goals come at the other end I did get Lallana v Hull and Osvaldo v City right under my nose though.

 

I reckon it's just the norm for teams to choose to play towards their fans in the second half. It makes sense.
