    American Football is just a wussy version of rugby
    How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

    Cricket is just a load of boll***s too, we never even have the weather to pay it .

    As for cheerleaders rugby isn't a glorified sport, just a bunch of guys that want to smash heads together and cause pain. Loads of FUN.

    We do have blondes though .

    Bloody barely, and only because of H2O2. Whenever I go to Sweden (which I do quite a bit), the blondes are just.... just ... hmmm... Well, they're Swedish for one.

    let's see you bash against Crenca or Vickery then ... if you're still standing and conscious you can have another go.

    Oh and without padding.

    I've played icehockey (when I lived in Finland). I know it's a damn tough game, but rugby's worse.

    The only game I can think of which is worse yet is Australian rules football.

    Not to mention in American Football you rarely use your feet. But in Normal Football you always use your feet.

    There's a few roundabouts in my area only they're called rotaries. They're somewhat handy as a gene pool cleanser since a lot of tourists haven't got a clue how to deal with them and you even get the odd bozo going the wrong way.

    does that one have car parks built into it??

    The best one I've been on is the one on the Champs Elysees in Paris. Bloody chaos. I've heard that car insurances won't cover accidents done here, but that's most likely just an urban myth.

    now that is just a death trap, and no need for it. You'll need to get some kind of manual out before even approching that one .

    It was just because I saw somewhere that it was saying how the US ahs just about no roundabouts which make it easier to model in games. Makes the AI easier. And here in the UK they have them on the end of almost every road. Just thought I'd see if there was any truth in it.
