  1. Again, I'm not reading it that way, I'm just saying that people might do so.
  2. Quite possibly. But that's got nothing to do with the map. Slightly misleading though, you have to say. The implication made is that the world is divided into the "haves" (blue) and the relative "have-nots," (red) so one would assume, based on that map, that Britain has a higher GDP than France (especially when you consider that the other countries that are in blue are all among the 5 largest economies in the world). False inference. The map states that the two colours balance out, equal collective GDPs. If you swapped France for Britain, its higher GDP would make the blue greater than the red, not equal. I expect there are other combinations that would produce a similar result. Oh, I'm not saying it's an accurate inference, not at all. But I think most people would construe it that way.

  4. Good lord, this band (band?) is sick Really? Get well soon, Matt Cutler. Congratulations, have a like
  5. Sanchez is fantastic, but his shorts look ridiculous. Robben
  6. Why is Andros Townsend doing punditry
  7. He's bloody underrated. What a player to watch.
  8. Don't know, van Persie seems to be enjoying himself this WC. Not to mention a certain buck-toothed Uruguayan.
  9. Not now It's football, one has to take the crappy along with the good. The US are still in a good position to qualify though.
  10. **** off, the Portuguese didn't even celebrate.
  11. Also, parties in general.......but nevermind.
  12. Levi, Maqroll? When did DaMarcus Beasley become a left-back? (genuine question)
  13. Not that the bloody petition will end up achieving anything though.
  14. True. Just don't tell the person what part they are eating and they wouldn't care. I ate Guinea pig in Peru and people still give me "that" look as if I'd just killed their child I always follow it up by telling them I ate dog in North Korea Eat an animal , it would eat you if it could ( copyright Troy McClure ) Hard to logically convince someone that it should be acceptable to eat certain animals though...such attitudes are entirely based upon emotions (eating dogs! Ugggh!).
  15. Think Algeria will give Russia a good game.
  16. Fair enough. Gues 91 used to live with an Algerian housemate, then...
  17. Okay, I'm pretty sure you have no Korean ancestry, so I have no idea why you seem so happy.
  18. 我 Are you Korean? That look like Korean to you?
