New Zealand! The weather's great. The language is the same. Economy is booming. House prices are astronomical, hopefully that'll change in the next couple of years. Socially? Striking up a conversation with strangers is no biggie, we're really friendly! Not sure about immigration rules to be honest! All up, we're a really cruisy country with loads of beautiful scenby G_Crawford - Off-Topic
Meh. I just can. Umm...yeah. They are all quite different as far as subject goes. Obviously the 3 Middle East materials overlap and that helps quite a lot. It means I'm always thinking of different angles when I'm reading. I probably couldn't read a bunch of fiction at once. Then I have my fiction - About a Boy, and a music book. I guess it means I can also compartmentaliseby G_Crawford - Off-Topic

I can't really be bothered to post all of my feelings about Iraq right now, I have to go to bed (seriously). A couple of things though. - all this talk of "the Iraqi people" is a giant load of wank, for a couple of reasons. Firstly, there is the fact that not all Iraqis felt the same about Hussein, obviously. However, it is not just an insignificant minority, there are maby G_Crawford - Off-Topic

Fisi, Kimi, McLaren. I'm torn now! I think if Todt and Brawn leave Ferrari I'll be much happier, and with Vodafone gone, we may get a scarlet car! I really wanted to see Kimi v Alonso, but you can't have it all.by G_Crawford - F1
I don't hate Muslims. On a side note, can you conspiracy folk go to democracynow.org and download the 9/11 podcast? :-P Ta.by G_Crawford - Off-Topic
Kimi's just flavour of the month? You must be kidding me. Let's see... Signs for Sauber in 2001 after only 23 races to his name, scores a point in his first GP. Signs for McLaren in 2002. Not a bad team really... In his THIRD season he challenges for the title... and after 2004 when Ferrari crap on everyone, he challenges for the title again, winning SEVEN races. You, my frby G_Crawford - F1

I played FIFA World Cup 2006. I will never forget the time my mate's goalie stopped the ball from going in without touching it. Oh sure he dived for it, but he must have had invisible gloves that extended his reach by half a foot! Unbelievable.by G_Crawford - Other Games
pity the best gameplay FIFA ever had was RTWC 98...... If I want good graphics and no gameplay I'd watch footy on the television :-pby G_Crawford - Other Games
That makes me flinch! My first reaction was "Spur of the moment red mist" but after watching a couple of times it's obvious Thatcher lined him up from 10 metres out and never intended to tackle him properly. Anyone know what happened before that? Maybe something to anger him? I'm wondering about a reason, not an excuse (there is none).by G_Crawford - Other Sports
Come on the ARSE! I'm very happy Chelsea lost, especially as the Gunners could only manage a draw against Villa. Here's hoping the game against Man City goes a little better!by G_Crawford - Other Sports
I second "The Pits" if that's what WillB meant. Forza Amon! is very good too. Stephen Hilton's bio of Alain Prost is a bit much. Don't ask me why, I don't remember why I didn't like it, just that I didn't.by G_Crawford - Off-Topic
yeah my dad has been recommending it to me for awhile now, but i'm in no-brain blockbuster mode atm (see the Superman Returns thread ).by G_Crawford - Off-Topic
I saw this yesterday and thought it was really fantastic. At one point I nearly jumped up and yelled "F*#K YEAH SUPERMAN, GO KICK HIS ASS!!!!"! Maybe I enjoyed it because Superman is such a feel-good hero - he's uplifting and all that jazz - and I'm not so hot right now... HOWEVER......Batman Begins was waaaay better Gonna go and watch X3 soon, which I'm lookinby G_Crawford - Off-Topic
Hey chaps, I need a spot of help. The useless folks at my uni computer dept don't know how to set up Firefox or (more importantly) Opera for internet access in our library. I'm writing to the head of the dept expressing my annoyance at the issue, but in the meantime, is there anyway of copying the settings from IE and applying them to Opera? I assume they deal with proxies and otherby G_Crawford - Off-Topic

"When the Ship Comes In" Bob Dylan I listen to this song when I get fired up about something, as it's about people who are dicks getting their dues (kinda).

Hey kiddies, long time no see. Last year I did a paper at uni on Modern American Politics (1960 - today) Here's my research paper. I don't know the exact grade I got (handed in just before I left for holidays), but I think it was a B, because it would be in line with my other assessments and my overall grade for the paper.
