Pedantic side point: Idris Elba is British, born & raised in London. His American accent is convincing though. See posts above - there is no double standard. A lot of white people have played African gods and a lot of notable non-white historical figures. This is a total non-issue blown...

Once you stop watching MTV and listening to radio its very easy to avoid the music. I have only ever seen pictures and that won't be changing.

Wow, you beat me to it. Fair play ;)

'cos they're more religious in general than Europeans. Sounds trite of me, but religion (even for atheists) is a gigantic cultural/historical influence and the form religion has taken in your country's past will shape your cultural present/future. Not only that but the dominant forms of...

Seems to me to be inclusive of all Dr Who. I remember watching reruns of Jon Pertwee and Tom Baker's incarnations of the Doctor when I was a kid and the show has always been more fantasy than science fiction. Without CGI and the modern Who's budget, the old show was made enjoyable by strong...

Word. Seriously, even child filters are easy to install - but then i guess that might interfere with dads' porn browsing, better instead to let little Timmy meet the naughty man on chatroulette I 'spose. Side note: I was using the 'net since i was 11 (back in the 56k age) and my parents...

I second this question, being unable to think of any police related show which 'feels' as realistic as The Wire does - albeit to an ignorant englishman like myself. Also, have you ever wondered whether changes to certain laws, methods of law enforcement or enforcement priorities might improve...

That is just about the worst thing I can imagine. It would be fine if I liked consoles...but I just don't.

All this hate out there for Vista... I run Vista 64bit version, built the PC myself just over 2 years ago and I have had ZERO problems after the incredibly frustrating first day. ZERO. This day has been coming for some time, can people honestly expect developers to keep delivering dx9...

Eh? that wasn't what I said?

Unless you're in Istanbul, all the good bars there have plenty of hookahs going round.

I've seen so many people on this forum admit to illegal drug use it does seem a little strange to see someone suspended. He could have been in Holland or Portugal where its legal anyway...

Cutter's Choice is the best rolling tobacco out there imo. Stay away from those tabs/fags/straights/whatever you call them in the packets.

I'd use Norris' corpse as a special effects prop in a short home-movie wherein the protagonist (me) gets to kick the face off Chuck Norris using my steel-capped Doc Martins. The movie would be called 'Ed kills Chuck'. The fans may hate me, but admit it, you would all watch it on YouTube.

I can grow a beard, but it only grows into the sinister Tudor style 'tash & goatee, and since that look went out of fashion 600 years ago I prefer to stay clean shaven.
