They don't carry any weapons because various ports don't allow them to dock with weapons on board and insurance for the boat & sailors would increase a lot. However, warships are allowed to assist any ship they want but no country has the right to sink any other ship under international law so the warships can't really go crazy blasting them away with massive guns.The amount of ships being taken now is ridiculous, do they have any form of protecting themselves? Firearms, protection of certain countries Navies? Should arm them all with M16's and see how long the pirates will decide to keep hijacking boats. I'm normally a pacifist to these things, but it's getting seriously out of hand and it seems the only incentive for them to stop is to start a death toll of pirates. -
They have hijacked ships from the UK...Like 1_man_army said, why does this American ship get it's own thread lol?Wow, that's a pathetic thing to say. Would you be happier if pirates hijacked a ship from your country?
Didn't think so.
Anyway, on topic, another ship captured today:
Pirates have hijacked a tanker off the coast of Somalia, maritime officials say, days after several pirates were killed by US and French forces.In the latest in a string of attacks by pirates seeking ransom payments, a freighter named as the MV Irene was taken in the Gulf of Aden.

Like 1_man_army said, why does this American ship get it's own thread lol? Pirates are constantly seizing ships near Somalia, it's been that way for a while and it probably wont change very soon so I don't see why one American ship gets a thread.
That's how frequent they are. Wanna make a thread each time one gets captured? Don't forget the other recent attacks...
It is the sixth seizure in recent days, including a British and Taiwanese ship. -
Was the movie Behind Enemy Lines? I hope it isn't Brazil tbh, quite liked it in Russia and the Middle East...In the video there is a famous Brazillian statue of I think Jesus. So probably half of it is set in some fictional destabilised south american country, with the other half in Asia, assuming they stick to the same format.There's a statue like that somewhere in Russia. It's in some movie I just saw.
There is a picture of a teddy bear in the trailer, and there is the EXACT same teddy bear lying in a bed on Crossfire =O
There are quite a few massive statues of Jesus round the world so it could really be anywhere, places with Christ statues:
Vietnam, Portugal, Mexico, Italy, USA, The Andes, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico and Brazil ofc.

Brought a TV from Dixons, I paid £10 for special delivery so that it would arrive within the next few days. Dixons managed to make the TV arrive a week after the normal delivery slot so effectively I paid £10 for it to be delivered later than normal. Then again, it's Dixons, I'm not sure why I didn't expect them to screw it up.
Haven't had anything worse than that really...

Tons of snow here - at least a foot and a bit
All London buses have been stopped and my train service is running so no school for me
All roads are blocked too because the gritters didn't expect this much
Possibly no school for me tomoz :D

The free version doesn't give access to the island, it just lets you join their world. It also gives some leaderboards but I haven't checked them out yet.
The premium version is the version with all the items, etc. Well worth getting. Only 800MS
-
[hide=gargs reward]It's probably the best skill weapon in the game, The Rammer. IMO better than The Enforcer because it still works at long distance and fires quickly. Does around 117 damage I think? Worth getting, use a guide if you have to.[/hide]
Got the DLC - well worth it. Finished it already tho and I only have 1 more book to find for 1100gp. A nice extra place and a good quest, pretty cool what you can do. The new armour is reeeeaaaallly nice and there's a ton of new items.
-
Got 1000GP today, definitely getting the DLC - one of the best games imo, although there isn't too much to do now that I've completed it :(

Lol, Mlbfan13 didn't predict very well...A lot of the stuff this guy listed comes on the 360 (Great customer support, amazing dash, good games, etc.). 360s really don't break down often anymore, I know a lot of people with them and I haven't heard of a problem in at least a year, mine has never had any problems.Hey guys I was seriously considering trading my 360 for a ps3 but I was wondering if you guys could point out some of the pro's and con's of the ps3?You bumped a thread that died in June just for that?
OT: expect very bias opinions against the PS3
Pro's:
Free online
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 2
Blu-ray
PlayTV
Playstation Home
Great customer support
When was the last time you heard of a PS3 breaking down?
7 players on one machine at a time
Warhawk
PSP connectivity
HDMI & HDD on every machine
Almost any USB device works with it (tablets, external HDDS etc)
Cons:
Expensive
Large chance of attempted bullying by 360 fanboys
Can't think of any more.
If you need any more info on any of them, just ask/PM me.

We didn't know what we were doing and it barely took 30mins...To expand on set-up, if you don't know what you're doing, it can be almost impossible. Which is what happened to me, I tried for three days with no luck.
I KNEW what I was doing .. It just wouldnt work.
-
Uhm, whats wrong with this method? I've never had a problem with it...Yeah you can do that. It's called Windows ICS connection or something like that, check the manual that came with your 360 and it should say how to set it up - worked for me. I never have any problems with this methodEww not that horrible method. Had to use that and hated it. Best way by far is router to 360.

Not really awesome university prospects...
Our schools sound like they have the same idea. My school tried to buff up IB to make it sound amazing when really it's no better than A-levels. Although you get more UCAS points with IB, you require more to get in anyway, so really you don't gain from it.
I think I'll go with A-levels because I know what I what to do (IB helps keep your options open) and I hate some the subjects you have to do, especially languages -.-
My brother did IB and he told me it's a piece of crap.

Bwahaha addicted to the AK47 atm. Constantly rape with it :)

7th is good so far - KD going back up and pretty fun.

Overall the album is average - better than Sawdust but worse than the others
Human & A Dustland Fairytale are the best tracks on the album IMO

I'm fine with violence in video games ;) So are my parents, if I ask for an 18 game and give them the money, they will probably buy it for me :)
One of my friend's dad doesn't let him have anything with violence between humans, like GTA, but he's allowed have games with violence against aliens. He is allowed to have GoW2 which lets you chainsaw aliens while blood spurts everywhere but he isn't allowed GTA IV which is a lot less graphic. Pretty Stupid IMO.
-
Yeah there's a ton of small changes that make it way better
The avatars are a lot better than I expected...
Party chat is a god send
Overall looks much better, cleaner if you will. Easier to navigate too and I much prefer the friend and ingame popup menu.
Downloading cod4 onto my console atm :)

They have to bail out the Big 3. As they own most big western car companies, if they go under, wont the western car industry be completely [bleep]ed?

When I went to China I brought a few more pairs of shoes, here's what I have atm:
Black Converse All Star Hi-tops
A pair of red & black DC Manteca's.
Checkered Slip-On Vans
(mine are a bit different)
Vans Bucky Lasek 3
& a pair of sandals, flip-flops, school shoes, and wetsuit shoes which don't really deserve a mention 8-)
I wear my converse and bucky lasek shoes most.

The governments can't afford to ban smoking (learnt about this on friday lol)
The UK government brings in around £10b from tax duties on cigarettes, the cost to the NHS from smoking related illnesses is £2b. The tax on cigarettes helps fund other public services so if smoking was banned the government would lose out on that £8b they have to invest on other public services.
Ideally, smoking should be banned because of the impact of everyone's health but it wont happen (in the UK at least) because the government doesn't want to lost the money it makes off tax.
(For reference, none of my family smokes. Some friends do tho :? )

Hah was actually looking at exactly this sort of thing on amazon when I saw this.
Have a look here, a huge range of designs: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_ss_vg_ ... n+&x=0&y=0
They are vinyl stickers so I'm not sure whether or not it'll look any good, and they are pretty expensive...

Lung cancer isn't the only health problem smoking causes. Of course some people would take up smoking but not as many as expected because of the other health problems, the undesirable physical changes (listed above: yellow teeth & nails, smokers cough and wrinkles) and the cost of smoking.
