That was only the logo though. Imagine how much was spent on designing the font and all the other pointless guff that went with it. I must admit though that in retrospect, although I hate the millions wasted by Locog, I'm very proud of the athletes and what they've achieved and also the raise in public spirit that has gone with the Games. My take on it is that the Games were very badly 'sold' to the public and I feel that the bad feeling started with that shite logo and never recovered because they never pushed the positive side of things. Little details like letting the public know that for every GB gold medal the athlete's local postbox would be painted gold would have made the OIympics feel more personal and more about the athletes and national pride than only showing us a shit logo, how much the transport system would be screwed and who was going to get the privilege of knocking down the stadium to build a stadium.

You are kidding aren't you? How many tentacles does an octopus have?... Myanmar Cyclone and China’s 2008 Earthquake Both the cyclone that hit Burma and the earthquake that struck China tightly coincided with the same HAARP activity. HAARP was also highly active in the weeks before Katrina, during, and a short time after. The correlation is therefore not complete. If HAARP were inactive during that time, then it could be proven that it had absolutely nothing to do with Katrina, but since it was indeed active, a possible link still remains. There is not enough actual energy being outputted by ionospheric heaters to directly power an earthquake, but they don’t need that much power if they merely act as nonlinear unbalancers, triggers, or re-directors of existing large natural energy flows. Was the earthquake just a random natural event? Or was it strategically and intentionally created? Consider this: The official death toll was 80,000. 1) HAARP shut off ~8 hours before the quake struck. 2)Earthquake was of magnitude 8.0. 3) It happened on May 12th (5/12 = 5 + 1 + 2 = 8) 4)The earthquake occurred exactly 88 days before the Beijing Olympics. 5)The Olympics began on 8/8/08 at 8:08 PM. What’s the illuminati significance to the number 8? Occultist L. Ron Hubbard and the church of Scientology has fondness for the number 8 and used it extensively in scientology, as in Hubbard’s books named Technique 88, Scientology 8-80, and one called 8-8008. There are also 8 dynamics, and their gradation chart of awareness, is set up on 8s too, there are 8 levels to “Clear” and then 8 levels to OT8..now jump back to the 1930’s, Hitler’s SS – SS is the closest approximation in letters to 88. Note the colors and feeling of the Scientology Management logo below from their own pages. It’s nothing more than a swastika bent into the numbers 88 (another multiple of 11) with two pyramids intertwined….do you see that? Scientology Managment – Office of Special Affairs Logo© by The Fraud of $cientology Long before Hitler’s SS gained power over the German government, to keep from getting into trouble for saying, “Heil Hitler” in their correspondences, they would sign them 88, because “H” is the 8th letter of the alphabet, hence 88 became the secret signature, at the end of letters sent to his blinded supporters and members of the Nazi Party, for H*eil *Hitler…..SICKENING! Coincidence? Or more illuminati planned events using occult numerology? Taken from some random conspiracy site that goes on to give the importance on the number 11 from Air Force One having 11 letters, to 9/11 and the Kennedy assassination. I'm all for a good conspiracy theory but if there were and illuminati thing going on, it's blatantly Carol Vordermen behind it if all these numeric coincidences are true.

On the topic of the Wiki page... wherefore art thou and why no linky anywhere on the site (that I've found)?

That just sounds like Apple in general to me. I was close to binning my iPod a while back because of my pure hatred of iTunes until someone introduced me to SharePod. Would never consider getting an iPhone and I really couldn't give a shit if there's a new one coming out or not, from what I can tell there's bugger all difference between any of them anyway. And for that reason, I'm out.

I would say two is not lots, I'd say two is a typo.

From around 92 I'd say... Maybe.

Only in Leeds.(.)

Only just watched it- bloody hell!! Dude's got some serious skillz.

Hey dude, sorry only just seen this. Yeah My guess would be fuel pump. I've done lots of little things to mine including a Scorpion end can which means I can't hear much above the exhaust at any speed! They do have a tendancy to sound like a lawnmower with the standard can and it's definitely worth dropping the stock one for something aftermarket.

Ah yeah, sussed that when I saw the track overview today.

They really didn't seem to be trying today. It was almost like the track wasn't spaced right as they were all mistiming jumps and casing the odd landing. Also surprised that the girls were as fast as the guys.

Did you fit them yourself?

Yeah, same. I'd go along the lines of Haise/Haze- same as how I'd say Hayes (David, brake manufacturer etc.).

Never been a big supporter of the London Games and don't really care about 99% of the events but f**k me am I proud to have had even a slight involvement in the Team GB cycle success. They've done and are doing an incredible job and I sincerely hope the future of cycling in the UK is brighter than ever.

Are you drunk?

Enough about how it drives, what diameter are the wrist pins?! Actually, what the f**k is a wrist pin? Surely y'all mean gudgeon pin? Don't like it. But then I was never overly keen on the previous one either.

WHO CARES?!

But you damaging yourself and requiring a one off trip to A&E (and potentially physio as an outpatient thereafter) is a drop in the ocean compared to someone who is knowingly doing something that will result in them needing long term treatment, operations etc. which will end up costing the NHS hundreds of thousands of pounds over the course of their life. Yes both are self inflicted but the scales (both time and financial) are worlds apart.

Football's rubbish.

I'm not too clued up on this but how are they planning on making it work? At present all working folks pay National Insurance and income tax which goes towards funding the NHS so that everyone can get care. Yes it's fairly massively inefficient and can be a ballache but if it were to be privatised, would it no longer be publically funded (i.e. as with the States we'd need insurance)? If we continue to pay NI and income tax, how will it be decided how that is spent on the numerous private companies? Not sure how it could be made to work... Edit: But yeah, I don't know how any profit making organisations can be expected to make the correct decisions in terms of patient care when any expensive treatments or whatever will simply be eating into their profits. It's bad enough as it is with the NHS being something of a postcode lottery (as I understand it).

Adam in being wrong (kinda) shocker?!

Heheh. Haven't had any dealings with roof bars but recently fitted the Thule Backpac system to our Bongo and it's really well put together and easy to fit. You obviously pay a bit of a premium for the quality (and name of course) but it's certainly a nice system.

And.

No, thank you Mr Spambot. (Reported)
