Submarines are “boats”, ships aren’t. Pedantics should’ve started a rival “Shippy O’Shipface”.

McQuaid’s Irish - born in Dublin.

I’ve never understood why each new version has had to zoom further into the future. What I always enjoyed about the first two MW was the feeling that it was at least partially rooted in real life... gritty SAS types (Yes, I miss “Soap”), familiar weapons and even simple levels like “Hunted” captured the feel of having…

Nice writeup. He’s not even that well-known outside of Cornwall, let alone the UK.

By your definition then, Thomas Parker invented the first car in 1884, it just happened to be battery-powered.

There’s a 4C daily-driven near my work. I also see it on my way home. Distance between parking spots? Third of a mile.

This is not a healthy looking piece of steel/iron/toffee.

Genius. Given that I bought a copy of “11" this is my kind of thing. For reference..

It’s either a Superbike or a Touring Car, or one of the riders/drivers isn’t from the F1/MotoGP etc. There is one, I think, that's got Pedrosa and someone from Red Bull (vague recollection) but they don't really go for it.

Who are these people? They were on a TV programme? Really?

This was fun but it would be nice, just once, for someone to do a proper MotoGP/F1 comparison. Not Superbike. No showboating or staged bits.
