The A5 is one of the most popular rep. cars in the UK at the moment, and is a common hire car, too. There’s certainly a market for it.

I think it’s related to how they perceive countries that do peace deals with the West end up. Kim does not want to be the next Qadaffi.

Soccer is generally self-financing at club level, but the governing bodies often have some kind of link to the government and national stadia are often subsidised by the government. World cup works just like the olympics though, but even more corrupt - hence Qatar and Russia hosting it.

I still think FIFA and Formula 1 still crush the NFL in terms of corruption, hatred for their fans, and general desire to destroy the sports they purport to regulate.

I thought in the Cold War that Washington was a ‘withold’ area that was one of the few places not to be nuked. The theory was that the Soviets wanted the government still in place to surrender/stop the war which would stop the second strike happening a few weeks later.

If it’s a large detonation over the Pacific, then you’ll be unlikely to get fallout. Fallout only really occurs when the detonation is at ground level (groundbursts) and the soil/coral etc. is sucked up, making the radiation particles heavier and causing them to drop back down to Earth quickly (i.e., while still…

I seem to remember the Soviet plans had the

There are so many variables in nuclear war that you really can’t tell. Not every scenario is based on the old tripwire scheme, and it’s entirely conceivable that we don’t end up like in Threads. Terrorists steal/make a nuke and detonate something of the realm of 0.1KT? How about the US nuking one city and China/Russia…

You know we laugh at Clarkson for portraying Americans as thinking that any engine other than a V8 is somehow communism?

Wasn’t he fired for saying that?

Is focussing on nuclear weapons maybe detrimental to the US? You have an amazing conventional force which Russia (or anyone else) cannot hope to come close to. All this emphasis on nuclear weapons allows other countries to be much more on the level with America. Yes, this could knock out first strike capabilities,…

I feel sorry for Redskins fans having to endure this, and I’m an Eagles fan. It’s not a team losing matches or having a prime player walk in FA. It’s a team acting in a disgusting way that leaves everyone with a bad taste in the mouth.

This might be more in keeping for a rural English village.

Lot’s of people care about both Chris Harris and Top Gear. Watching Harris in the F12 was absolutely fantastic, and having a decent motoring show on the Beeb is also important. Given how awful the Grand Tour has become, it may also force Clarkson and Co to improve their game instead of stupid CoD-like sketches.

Same state

To be honest, if I had to watch a darts (or even worse, snooker) game, then I think I’d deserve a trophy. Or at least a stiff drink.

Are Skoda and Seat on the no-drive-list too? Because the Fabia station wagon is rather pleasant.

I think the Fiesta is considered the best of the superminis in Europe at the moment. If you think the Ford is bad, don’t go looking at what Opel/Vauxhall have to offer with the Corsa.

Not twenty. Twice in that game. Both committed by the same player, and both ending up with an Eagles player taken off the field with a head injury. Two unsportsmanlike conduct plays in a game counts as an ejection in the NFL.

Surely the road to Cardiff is the M4?
