  1. Voted for them
  2. And yet when Mr Miyagi gets Daniel to do menial tasks again and again and again, he's a hero. I don't understand Hollywood
  3. Cram as many people as you can into a smallest place as possible.
  4. Yeah, did my own research and good to see. When games are educational it's a good thing. I'm interested to see the Civilisations documentary starting on BBC in Monday. Though they'll probably splice and stitch Caesar's speeches
  5. I've been playing Civilization 5 for a while recently and it occurred to me... They've removed pollution and rising sea levels as a result, from the game. Used to be a big part of the game, managing your initial dirty output until cleaner alternatives came on the scene Don't know if that is systematic of USA administration denying such and whether it was reintroduced in later games? Civ 7 is just about to come out.
  6. They'll imprison conscientious objectors to military service.
  7. Re: my comment on authoritarian states, S Korea is much closer to that than us, plus they have a culture much more amenable to following instructions. A large part of our problem was that the good old British "don't tell me what to do" attitude, which was even sadly apparent in the cabinet of the time.
  8. Satanic mills. (Not to be confused with Matt Mills)
  9. Whilst I don't think the pandemic was handled at all well, it does need to be remembered (and it seemingly isn't taken into account) that all of this enquiry is done with hindsight, which is difficult to account for. I think if you look around the globe you'll be hard pressed to find any country that "got it right". I think a few countries got lucky, due to geography or being authoritarian states or very sparsely populated, but it was very much a guessing game to begin with.
  10. I sometimes wonder, if there was a massive cyber attack on the world's banks, would they have any offline records of who has what? Of course some people have a paper statement each month, but they're in a vast minority and even then hundreds of transactions could've happen since the last printout.
  11. You make it sound enthralling!
  12. Rab Douglas
  13. People smoking around carburettors.
  14. How much will you spend completing that? Even assuming no swaps, it'd cost you £100+
  15. Didn't we sign him as a left winger, but he turned out more centre mid?
  16. It literally pulled the choke in the carburettor shut. The choke adjusted the air/fuel mixture, as a cold engine needs more fuel, so it would close a butterfly valve to restrict air intake and give a richer mixture. This was also how you increased power using the accelerator, which connected to the same valve. Then came automatic chokes using heat sensors, before fuel injection became common place. RIP carburetors.
  17. Too many teams There'll be a lot of pointless matches.
  18. No, I'm saying that because of that hanging over us, the better managers weren't interested and we had to pick the low hanging fruit.
  19. Not defending the club particularly, but surely the reason we got a poor manager was because we had the deduction looming over us? Same for player signings. Had the charges been sorted during close of season, as they should be for anyone (doing it mid-season is just ridiculous), then I think we'd have been able to recruit a better standard than we did. So, maybe we did break the rules. Sort it out then!
  20. Sorry to shock you, but they actually did (give or take a few days).
  21. I'm very 6-7 about it personally.
  22. And then some!
  23. Then again, maybe an own goal?
  24. Fantastic way to win a game!
