I think you are right and a gamble of those sorts would be a great luxury to have but I feel the board might feel it needs to consolidate before they gamble again. Personally Moyes would be my number one target as he is MON with tactics and a great eye for a player but my brother is pretty certain Curbs will have a strong look in.

In Hall Green they would have largely placed Lib Dems over Labour due to the work of the candidate with the Respect voters, frustratingly the Tories still had no campaigning 6 months prior to the election. I feel this way because I had first hand experience of the local politics in the area and saw perhaps how votes were 'gathered'. I think had there been a second option Lib Dems would have gained a huge number of votes from Respect which, and I assuming now, would have left Lib Dems in front?...or am I still not quite nailing this?! Respect gained many postal votes, some felt this helped a balance be maintained in a first past the post system.

Can I just ask because you missed it, or I didn't/don't understand fully but where were you assuming respects votes would go?

Dunno, depends... New Zealand Story on my Amiga was special, Simon the Sorcerer was iconic, Half-Life etc lasted the longest and Oblivion changed my perspective on RPGs... But where does a man put his numerous copies of Football Manager...

The whole one step thing is annoying but I guess true, living in the Hall Green constituency it is clear there is no real representation of other cultures and the candidate pretty much rests on his old heels only getting involved when it benefits him in some manner. Ahh Politics! It's all so confusing and hopefully backlash will put this through, not the best system out there but then again maybe this country needs to start making the hard choices to give us some long term stability and policy in practice and not just in theory. I guess I would example it with this, and feel free to point out my flaws I need the guidance for later life. If we'd had some Green representation in the last decade we may have had some sort of progression to consumable mass renewable energy but having this 2, maybe 3 party system we have seen much in the way of ignorance to this topic and a few wars for oil thrown in for good measure. I am not saying it would have definitely made a difference but I am sure the agenda would have found itself with a little more momentum to complement the high status each incumbent Government apparently gives it. Like people have said PR is what many would prefer and AV doesn't really give a true representation; but it does stick it up the current system, could engage people in Politics for more time than a TV debate and will give us a platform to make an educated decision for our next shot at democracy. I voted yes and will do; purely on the fact there is something broke and I feel this is an attempt to fix it.

Oh man, it really did hint at being a bit of a let down (in comparison to Crysis graphics) when people were discussing frame rate differences on various machines a month before its release. Is the AI as dumb as people are making our or does it improve throughout the game? Hopefully it will come down hugely in price and I can grab a bargain in the next few weeks....kinda glad it wasn't absolutely incredible, I want to lose my life and finances to Duke or Portal 2

Haha nice post, horses are great in the game and the guys over at Skyrim were even impressed. Cougars are buggers eh, I have 5.1 surround so I hear them more often than not, thank god for horses taking all the damage! The Undead pack is good too and 100%ing it is pretty easy, ending is as much fun as any ending as almost of entertaining as Portal! (this was a triumph ) Anyone play any multiplayer? I started but I was sick of spawn kills which even after a fix still didn't help me

In the words of Monty Brewster! None of the above!!! Very surprised the Beatles were not on the list, most of the time just god awful p(l)op for the masses. So yes, the Beatles, so overrated they changed music and what it stood for; girls get your screaming voices.....unfortunately we still have to suffer them.

I think most would take Moyes if given the option; with Jose and Pep fighting for the United job, Chelsea being foreign fans, Arsenal keeping Wenger until his Thunderbird finish wears off, Man City only playing with Internationally recognised managers and Liverpool realistically never going for Moyes he really doesn't have many obvious options and perhaps with money, better players and an American backer he really could cement himself as a Champions League challenger. I feel for Everton as a club, they have deserved to achieve (even if they haven't ultimately won anything) whereas at times we have flattered ourselves with our table positions, I'd love to have Everton's biggest catalyst at our club, MON with tactics....amazing scenes!

Depends on how you play, I can quite easily get a ratio of 0.25, usually when I am on revenge missions and trying to rush but when I think oh sod it I am not killing enough I'll just play a little more tactically. On bomb missions I always get such low scores, I like objectives I move around a lot but only where I want to go, I dont always shoot who I see, stalking is a good way to get a few kills due to respawns, I usually try and make my way to the back of the opposition team but I rarely camp anywhere, only when I know there are more than two people around me. Try to watch out for spawn points as you can get right to the other end of the map, be coming on the whole team from behind, (teehee for some) and then some respawn pops up next to you and bops you on the head. When under pressure I will chuck my nades one way and go the other way knowing I have some time to escape or find a new way to flank the opposition. If you get someone who follows you and is clearly a better shot, buggers, try to force them to shoot, watch where they hide or go, do the same as them and then if there is a reload moment hide somewhere you didn't shoot from. IF you are going to die you might as well try something different! lol Keep your gun either up or at waist level (many bullets stray upwards) as you go around corners, think about where the opposition may be coming from, worried there is someone around the corner? Go forward to check then quickly back around your corner, then if all safe come out but be aware of someone else doing the same thing but trying to flank you from behind or the side. Remember many people will be hiding and waiting for you (campers), try and move sideways and pop off a single shot to their head, dont get involved in a trade off, thats why they are hiding it makes you an easy kill. If you force them to camp but attack you they are the easy targets. Some guns are fantastic from the hip, try and get used to shooting that way when in close or when you panic, the cross hair can be very accurate, not necessarily a spray and pray but tapping the shoot button will usually spray one in a decent place. I guess a lot is about alertness, knowing the map/camping spots and staying aware to where they can shoot you from; the mini map and perks can really help your playing style, for example I sometimes use Ghost Pro, Warlord Pro and Ninja Pro because it makes me difficult to spot on the radar, my 5.1 surround sounds picks up other peoples footsteps and I dont make any noise, and I also add a silencer with sights for my rifle. Taking that silencer off and letting people see where I shoot from is another useful thing I do, I am a randomly appearing dot on a map and it helps my team when I am flanking.

hehe very good

Anyone love Apple so much they have a 45w or 65w old apple laptop charger lying around redundant? The round ended ones, not magnetic. I have just bought another on ebay, my fourth since March 8th....sigh, I am sure one seller will actually bother to send it on

I really hope they do stick with it. Head of Valve...forget his name, he did an interview last year saying that CS is on again but they are trying to work out the format to make it worthwhile, add or or stand alone game. Also went on about TF2 being the experimental side to their future development of games and how it let them gain perspective over gamers reactions. I have to say I stopped playing TF2 when I got a crappy mouse but its a great concept, CS cant really be dead there is just too much money in it; like Duke Nukem, where there is a market there is a game. Portal for example, just a fun in house game, became played by others, that became a beta, then it was released for free, tacked onto the Orange Box now we have Portal 2. Yey!

Recently started watching Parks and Recreation (US), pretty funny but I would recommend if you can get it; Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby (NZ) and The Games (AUS), also Chasers War on Everything (AUS) is pretty funny....I became bored with the mammoth amount of crap in current British comedy.

If they stick CS on the side I would be happy with that decision. Maybe they will have a CS announcement...maybe I am living in hope...

Played above himself last year, and has been shown up for this lack of intelligence this year. He cant play football all he can do is defend, that has killed us under Houllier.

Yah tis a very nice bit of kit, sleek and sexy and very usable. A glorified iphone, a pretty but less useful laptop or an appealing netbook alternative. Personally not for me at the price quoted plus can I forgive the lack of flash...just not sure I can...also a crap camera, bloody thin though! It is down to use, we could have had tablets years ago but Apple had the momentum to put an operating system on a tablet rather than waiting for tablet hardware to catch up with currents OS's, which is what the others have been doing for years hence no real attempts in the tablet field. For me I like the flexibility of a pc experience so the ipad purchase is really a cheap deal or a hand me down/competition win....a bit like all of my Mac experiences...it does exactly what is says on the tin, but Ronseal is still much better value.

I am from Sutton and we usually get good variation of curry's, moved to the south side of Birmingham and have found a nice place called Sylhet Spice Cuisine in Kings Heath that is reminiscent of the ones I used to enjoy. No shortage really though, a decent one is usually a good one. Oh also do not go to Lasan Eatery, absolutely disgusting in service and quality.

Ha well perhaps you could have got 60 for 8 if you'd done some running around to be fair it was probably them sitting around waiting for death. I personally like that balance, means if I work hard and kill the right people and groups while I rush our team can beat the better player ;p;

Haha don't get me started, long messages and more than four recipients is a fun task! I do wish they were doing an Android for iphone swap lol

Best year for games! Skyrim looks incredible Duke Nukem, hail to the king baby! Brink Portal and possibly HL EP3 as they did say Portal would come with a surprise... L.A. Noire Deus Ex 3

Saw it in Game, Birmingham for £7.99. Hotukdeals usually has a copy posed somewhere for a fiver. I just finished it, didn't play Mass Effect but wish I had, Mass Effect 2 was epic.

Yah tis about bloody time we too got that cool little feature.

Seems that is what all the forums are saying, he has brought his disease to another claret and blue!!!! We never did pass the ball to his feet (where he seems very comfortable) lets hope you can do that and we can get a glimpse of what we may be getting in the future.

He should stay, he has done a good job in the areas we needed improvement, the points aren't on the table but then this is MON's crappy team and it always performed to battle to 5th but not really much more, he didn't really have the insight. Bent and Makoun? Amazing! Playing the people we already had and dropping the lamers for a rotation system, great move. Plus we have Collins and Cuellar, what do we expect from our defence! We need a better mentality in defence but we also need to keep the faith, bloody hell we really are a panicking bunch of fans.
