Eh,I think that 9 should be “Weather-related” .. I know that also covers some user error, but still... plenty of crashes because o’ rain, fog and as is the case in Dublin during the winter - 1/16th inch of snow ! :D

He may be Canadian, but he’s been deployed against the States and the EU.. and that’s a goddamn war crime in my book :D

Oh, I get that, I was just getting in the spirit of Mike’s joke (in fact my first attempt at a “witty” comment was a slightly reworked speech from Independence Day.. The real reasons behind Mr. Evans’ departure will probably be kept under wraps, but for me the reason is probably that the bloke just understood that…

Even more appropriate that there’s some French(or French-Canadian according to Matt’s wiki page) contribution to the victory XD But seriously, Osama’s gone, Qaddafi’s gone, the Shouty Ginger one’s gone... Now y’all just need to take care of the Bieber problem an’ the world will be cool with y’all again :D

“Lemme show ya how it’s done!” (or post-incident - “ I REGRET NOTHING! “)

Or to make jaws drop when you unleash your car to the utter shock of a 20-something living out his or .. let’s face it,it’s always a he.. Fast and Furious dreams in a 1.0 beater with more decals than a football stadium and with a 747's wing as a spoiler :D A couple of weeks back I did that to a tosser in a Mk2 Impreza…

And our shared “love” for Chelsea FC :D

Btw, about your family in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - I fully understand your concerns with regards to a NATO vs Russia conflict (even a cold one) - I’ve got family and friends on both sides of such a conflict -cousins in the Bulgarian Armed Farces(not a typo, I’m a victim of the same Farce :D), Brother in law…

“We don’t respect them because they are a power grab”

Same thing as those B-52's are doing around those Chinese islands http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/weapo…

Nah, if it was a helo that guy (or gal!) was referring to, it must’ve been the Chinook Mk3 (aka a lower-cost brit alternative of the MH-47E) delivered without a proper avionics fit in ‘01, first flight in ‘09 or so.. with the Mk2's avionics because of some reeeeeeeeally inept procurement procedures :D

I beg to differ, our usual choking is around the holidays, because why be cheerful around the fire when you can spend Boxing day at St.Mary’s “enjoying” the sight of your allegedly title-contending team get massacred 4:0 :D ?

I wouldn’t say they’re .. that, it’s just that over here in Europe cars are a privilege you’ve got to earn, not a “basic right”.. Btw, I really don’t get the Audi is unreliable -> In the past 10 years, the only problem we had with either Audi in my household (Q5 for the wife, S6 for me) was a bad sparkplug and that’s…

Yeah,in retrospect, “hate on” was too strong.. I meant that it’s just ironic that public consciousness(hell,myself included) associates the band with a song deliberately embodying all that they thought sucked in music :D
Btw, an observation -> Monday afternoon Dublin traffic crawl is way more bearable with Maiden and…

Eh, don’t hate too much on Warrant, I saw it some place that they were forced to write that song by their label an’ decided to make (what they believed to be) the most 80's-est, unbearable mess that lampoons hair metal.. Unfortunately the lizard people behind MTV hammered that turd into the public consciousness..…

Yeah, for his sake and the safety of others I hope Johnny to find the help he needs before he kills someone (himself included) or worse - gets a call from Jerry Jones about an “exciting new job opportunity”

Why is it a dick move? The author is using a service provided by the restaurant...Now, the restaurant’ decision to keep delivering food during such crappy weather is iffy (to say the very least)

Ehm, no, I think the bloke was saying that you lads and lasses should actually LOOK INTO what you want to report,then CORROBORATE the facts and FINALLY PUBLISH (Journalism 101)... After all, this isn’t a massive story like the Paris attacks where the situation is chaotic and every minute brings actual updates... Btw,…

Well,the cheapest way they can do it is if they go for a beam-riding semi-automatic command line-of-sight approach. After the target is identified and continously painted, the plane releases the bomb at the moment the magical bombing computer(the same one the Russians claim to TOTALLY give decent CEP for unguided…

B-2,aka the best 1980s technology you could produce on 1990s budgets. You also have the Bone (60/70s tech) and the B-52... Just because something is old, it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have teeth.. Hell,I’d bet literally 0 cents that the Lancer and the Spirit will be decommissioned before the BUFFs.
