Just had a recommended FB page for Lord Aleem, 18 yr old Birmingham lad who has a serious number of nice cars-feeling a little bit of jealousy! How has he got all these cars at his age

You need a squeaky clean record that excludes me from living there, not that I would want to. If the wages weren't so poor I'd happily live in Sofia though and Thessaloniki too if the job market wasn't non existant. Other than that I could see myself in a latin American country, maybe in Rio de Janiero

Most Brits that I've known emigrate there seem to come back to this country pretty disillusioned with Australia, there's more to life than beaches and sunshine I guess. Away from the few cities there it would be quite a remote place to live as well I can imagine too.

good lad ... backpackers are a scourge on society .. I was staying in hostels on my way around Europe in the summer, they were full of hippy backpackers. They are all the same, they talk endless sh*t in an airy fairy. Are they really middle class? I'd call them classless That would be Aussie backpackers Yeah, every other backpacker was an Aussie. No.1 thing to do for them was to get directions for the local casino, you can tell their country has a strong economy at the minute

Reading over some of the Indian experiences wets my appetite, it's somewhere that I've really wanted to go to, more paricularly the Western Ghats before they are mostly destroyed by the huge pressures of the monumental population. I'd like to see the culture of the place too, Indians to me often seem proud of the British heritage and I think it'll be interesting to see how they combine it with their own different lifestyles. I think Mumbai would most probably be the tourist city alongside the Ghats for visiting. Yeah it's funny when people say they want to go to a place as large as India or Africa without being anymore specific, it's like thinking the UK is like visiting the whole of Europe! Along with the Caspian Sea /North Persia region, the Amazon is perhaps in my top 3 places to go to if I was suddenly diagnosed with a terminal illness. Manaus would be an ideal location to explore the river and the flora and fauna of the region.

Pisses me off how well respected media companies write headlines and stories that are not accurate, especially when it can affect public opinions. Just one I saw today is the 'robot' plane used on the BBC website, people think that this implies artificial intelligence and can lead to public disturbances like at RAF Waddington earlier this year. They are actually UAV's or drones and are either pre programmed and/or remotely operated by people, not the first time the BBC and other media has written or titled stories irresponsibly though, but it grinds me each time.

Yeah it is a bit confusing, I downloaded the ubuntu but then it asked me to burn it to a disc so I just re loaded windows. After which the audio still didn't work which I found was because both the speakers and my headphones are broken, got some new earplugs now though. If I get any more issues with streaming I'll persevere with trying to decipher what you tech geniuses mean

The shops aren't allowed facias which keeps the character immaculate, did you take the main street photo yourself? Got a nice angle in the shot

I did the salt shaker joke on my mother last night without properly thinking out the consequences, it sent shivers down my spine

Here's some of the architectural landscape I witnessed in Bulgaria. The hillside houses are in Veliko Tarnovo, the rest are from Sofia. I didn't take any photos of the communist style apartment towers, although despite being ugly they had their own kind of charm

Just the start of their development plans, too

Here's a St Botolph's church known locally as the stump, from my birthplace, Boston. It's an impressive building for the size of the town and shows how important the town was in the not too distant past.

Baku in Azerbaijan is going to start building the worlds tallest building, surprising that a place as obscure is going to have that accolade. In that same development hundreds of islands will be built in the Caspian Sea and a million more inhabitants will be homed, despite being a fairly poor economy next to Western Europe there's a huge amount of oil wealth to be made there hence why it is being dubbed a new Dubai. A lot of the old town there is absolutely stunningly well kept and pristine, it's a country and region on my to visit list

Yeah there's plenty of incidents!

I don't mind the NFL but of the popular 'American sports' I most enjoy Ice Hockey. I went to watch the Hannover Scorpions play when I was over in Germany and it was a great atmosphere, it's very popular over there

Donald Trump without his hair piece?

I didn't give watching paint dry a chance before deciding it was tedious, is that unfair?

The tackles exert more pressure 'on average' in the NFL because the player doesn't have to worry about injury so much. I'd say it would be possible if the rugby player was suicidal that he would be able to match the same tackle pressure, however he wouldn't play the game again most likely. The force wouldn't get spread out and it would be a 'harder' tackle to physically cope with. This is why I feel Aussie rules is more physical than either, there are many elbows and other dirty tricks they get up to

Really wrong. http://youtu.be/W7tGY-VDx3o?t=7m10s In that video the rugby player slowed up before the impact point quite noticeably, if he hadn't hed probably have broken his collar bone, the padding meant that the NFL player could run through the impact point without worrying about that outcome as much So he slowed up enough to make a difference of 3000 lb of pressure? Right. Bolded: So the hits are harder, right? They can hit harder more frequently yes as there is less danger, but if a Rugby player showed no regard for his safety the outcome could be far more crippling as there is no protection which as the video says spreads the impact point.

That research article basically says that American football has more injuries as the players don't take the same precautions due to their protective padding, Rugby players have to be more risk averse as there is a higher risk involved. American football is only more dangerous because of the mental set up of the competitors, doesn't mean that the tackles are harder

But the effects are less because of the pads surely otherwise what is their purpose. Aussie rules looks brutal to me even next to any other team sport

Psychological profiles says more about the pre conceptions and psyche of the person who wrote it than it does about the subject

You can get good and bad in Alpha and Beta's, some Beta personalities are scheming and backstabbing. Just because you've met some dislikeable Alpha males doesn't mean you should tar them all with that brush
