  1. i'd say fucking so, have you seen the state of his website!? absolute shit.
  2. i used to park ben's car when i worked as a valet back in the day, nice guy. he mooched a couple of smokes from me from time to time. seemed a bit surreal sitting in the key booth with a former olympic athlete....smoking cigarettes.
  3. i don't get it, i'm a few months from the big four-oh and i still consider myself to be 'young', but i don't understand dubstep, or why it is so popular. now i'm not saying it's ALL shite, but the post above says melodic uplifting dubstep, but its not, sure it is melodic and uplifting, until the dubstep kicks in. this year at shambhala, every major act that played the fractal forest (the funkiest place on earth) played a dubstep track which just seemed out of place. i have come to the conclusion that i am in fact not young anymore, and fall into the decrepitly confused category (LM i'm sorry for any misunderstanding we may have previously had, i get it now ) but i am not alone in my opinion about dubstep and what it sounds like to me... exhibit A(about halfway through)
  4. ....totally baffled by this..
  5. Watched this not so long ago after a recommendation in the movie thread and it was great (might have been from you or Barney) Touching The Void great flick, i loved at the end when after making it back, broken ,emaciated and dehydrated. the poor bugger gets pissed off about his clothes getting burnt.... "...all i wanted was a fresh pair of socks!"
  6. pretty stoked my team has just decided to get new jerseys for next year. we've been wearing black strips for the last ten years and i've been requesting a change as black in the summer is fucking hot. so as a compromise our fearless leader has decided on Newcastle colours for our new ones, couldn't be happier really.

    today is the first day of two weeks for me. gonna start with a little followed with a little.... and finally followed by some...
  9. a perogy packaged as a samosa?
  10. so you are basically doing the same thing she is doing...only more discreetly..... Stick to choppin trees doon with lumberjackets and big boots on eh pal. i've decided to get into the maple syrup industry instead, forestry is getting too crowded nowadays.....
  11. so you are basically doing the same thing she is doing...only more discreetly.....
  12. poor geography skill set for the bombers perhaps?
  13. cartoons of mohammed was the norse wasn't it? or the danes?
  14. yes, well sort of not luxury hotels but...... CriticismThe show has been criticized for fabricating some of the situations in which Grylls finds himself. In 2006 a Born Survivor crew member admitted that some scenes in episodes were misleading, indicating to viewers that Grylls was stranded in the wild alone when he was not.[14] The issue of scenes being manipulated was also raised by Mark Weinert, a U.S. survival consultant. One example he gave was of a raft allegedly being put together by team members before being taken apart so Grylls could be filmed building it. Other scenes that have been criticized include: Grylls was shown trying to lasso "wild" mustang in the Sierra Nevada that were in fact tame and had been hired from a trekking station nearby.[15] A scene where a crew member wore a bear suit to simulate a bear attack due to inability finding a tame bear. [16] A scene where Grylls was purported to have escaped from an active volcano by leaping across lava, avoiding poisonous sulphur dioxide gas, was actually enhanced with special effects, using hot coal and smoke machines.[17][18] Similarly, another episode gave viewers the impression that Grylls "was a 'real life Robinson Crusoe' stuck on a desert island", while in reality he was on an outlying part of the Hawaiian archipelago and retired to a motel at night.[15][19]
  15. Agreed... Nothing better than when football show's you something you've not seen done before... Remember replaying it at the time to see what it was he'd actually done... *ahem* errrm....not a penalty kick though is it? misdirection with ones feet and the ball is hardly something new,his point was no one had taken a PK like that.
  16. nice, but if buying your island on the wet coast....errrr, west coast, this would be a much nicer choice. http://www.privateislandsonline.com/pym-island-bc.htm it is closer to vancouver island, and is in the same rain shadow from the olympic range in washington state as the city of victoria, all of the convenience of the mainland but with far fewer people
  17. And the same with Britain. Someone in my COLLEGE class thought Scotland was on a different island to England! More true of Americans though. Nothing against them either but most of them have never been abroad even. To pretend otherwise is as bad as saying they're all cunts. Tooner you know you claim there's a Canadian identity. Can you explain how your accent differs from theirs? although i do know that we can't really put an exact finger on what it is, everyone here seems to think its about being polite and "nice" but i've met lots of fellow canadians that are utter c*nts so that is out the window, others would say it's the hockey playing/watching beer swilling stereotype, which is total bullshit i know lots of canadians that only watch one or two hockey games a year and thats only if its a national team game or the last canadian team left in the playoffs. i think that the lack of a concrete national identity is the fact that the country itself is so massive and physically diverse that the people are as well. you make a huge deal about the regional differences in england, but geographically speaking you all live relatively close to each other. so there you go, while i can't say exactly what being canadian IS, i can say what it isn't, we ain't amuuuriken. I know but because we're a proper country, i.e. one with thousands of years of culture and history, you can go 50 miles here and the accent and culture is more different than if you go 3000 miles in Canada or USA. ....you do make me laugh stevie. the "vast differences" you make reference to are only obvious to you. no doubt you could write a 1000 words on the minute and subtle differences between a charva from the south and one from the tyne. but to use your own yard stick, any other 'normal' person not from england wouldn't be able to tell a difference, they'd both be english. period. What a load of wank. There a regional variations which are more like country difference within this country, but being ignorant you wouldn't know that. Aussies and Yanks always presume am Iirish. just what i was thinking...

    The Fish

    happy belated Fish! not sure why but i thought you were older.

  21. indeed....but only because we've been completely inundated with them for so long....fwiw, i don't class some of them as sports anyway, nascar not a sport, just regular traffic in T.O. on a circular track. Baseball not a sport, anything you can do while drinking a beer does not meet the criteria to be classed as a sport, the americans know this which is why it's called the national "pastime".

Can you explain how your accent differs from theirs? depends on where you are really stevie, there are more people in the states and therefore more regional dialects. the one misguided belief is that ALL canadians say 'hoose or oot" instead of house or out, but that is an eastern canadian trait one that I was unaware of until i moved out here......i don't have an accent by the way...
