Good broadband helps.
My first (and last for many, many years) Steam game was Half Life. Updating Steam via dial up took so long - and failed so often - I never got to play the game (until I got the XBox version which didn't faff about with Steam at all).

I think this is why Steam insists on having a Windows service running all the time and being allowed to automatically update itself.
A few years ago I had Origin installed (if I recall, this is EA's version of Steam), and even though I wasn't playing all that much anymore, I still fired up the Origin client every time I turned on my gaming machine - not to play any game, but to let it update itself. Invariably, if more than a week had gone by, it would have an update.

Move the faarrrkkkk out if you're not happy Son. It's 02:20 and I don't give a faarrrkkk if you don't like it.

No. But do you think I didn't tell him direct?

I'm sure you did. But you are wasting valuable drinking time telling us that you've told him what you've told him when he won't read it anyway.

I can drink while doing anything else. It's not depriving me at all.

Well - it'll save the whitewash anyway, so has some point.

if i was happy to not lose 4-0 id support Southampton!!!

Ah... there speaks the voice of modern sports fans, where results are all that count... in my day we supported "our" club simply because it was "our" club, even if we did lose 0-4 every week.....

This is where I speak up and say I'm a lifelong Newcastle United fan. I don't know what the alternative to this losing thing is.

In fairness you came as close if not closer to stopping Man City as anyone else this season so far...

You realise I support Pompey right? I've seen us draw with Kaka and Ronaldinihos Milan - tomorrow I'm watching us play Northampton.

It would have been 4-0 if not for this score.
What was also great fun to watch was Broad surviving a tough time.

No it wouldn't. We can't bat for shite and we're bowling worse. Missing Starc had left us well short.

Smith and Marsh are doing alright in previous tests
I think its time to play the ashes at a neutral venue - its getting boring thrashing each other in our own countries.

This match, they and Paine chopped on. Rarely see that once a series.
Faarrrkkkk neutral venues. Doctor the pitchea your way and make the visitors adapt.
I'm sick of the drop in pitches over here making things dead and keeping the Winters sports wankers happy. Faarrrkkkk them with a pineapple.

That's more or less the case for all cricket now.
Aus come to India, India beat them.
India go to Australia and loose badly.

That's so true - you come here this summer, England will win yet it doesnt mean we're the better team - it just means Anderson and Broad are unplayable on English pitches
