Re: GPDA statement
Well, 50-100 is a lot of channels, but that does not mean they show anything of any quality. Half of the channels are like jewellery selling shows, or showing constant repeats of terrible panel shows, or adult channels that only come on after midnight or whatever. But that's television I suppose. Ha...

Re: 2016 Bahrain Grand Prix
Bernie Ecclestone apparently told the Strategy Group that it was a good idea to try the dumb system again. There were three options: 1. go back to the old system - lots of people wanted that 2. try a hybrid of the new system and the old - there was at least a vocal portion of people who wanted that ...

Re: GPDA statement
In Britainland we get 'Freeview' television, which is something like 50-100 channels, which are all free to watch. However, there a couple of 'Cable' companies (for lack of a better word) like Sky which give you a couple of hundred more channels, which between them pretty much have everything on the...

Possibly unpopular, but I'm entirely for this.

Re: This Day in Reject History
I'm sure walking up to that thing in person made it look great, but on the TV it just looked really murky. There was nothing standing out at you from the livery when you looked at it from a distance. Then again, I think that was some of the least of Honda's issues in 2007.
