This is way left field here, but, have any of you watched Underbelly ? I have downloaded up to episode 9, and I am waiting for episode 10,11 and 12 to finish downloading. If you are not aware, Underbelly is an Aussie TV show, (no, it's nothing like neighbors or home and away), but a story of the underworld, gang scene in Melbourne, Australia. I must say that I was surprised by it, mainly because of the nudity,(I am not complaining mind you), the sexual content, the obscene language and the violence. I think it is great, that a tv production company had the coconuts to show it how it is. :up: If you watch it,or, have watched it, let me know what you think.
Its shown here in Queensland. I have been watching as I have a friend in Victoria who can't watch it!!! ;)Quote:

I wasn't aware there was a book. I must say that I am hooked also. It's better than watching these lame reality shows.
THose reality shows are awful aren't they? I don't watch them at all. Actually I don't really watch that much TV at all. I would rather read a book.. or talk on the computer..Quote:

I remember the name, but cannot recall the plot, but, I will try to find it through P2P :D I am always looking for something to watch, due to the lack of English TV here and the saturation of BS reality programs. I hate these shows with a passion. I don't watch much telly, but, my wife and I love to curl up on the couch, (that's Sofa for the Yanks :D ) and watch a documentry, be it animals, science etc, etc, after a hard days work. I love watching old tv shows from the 50's,60's and 70's, so I am online trying to find them when I have some free time. Some of these shows are hilarious, and some of them would be banned from tv these days.Quote:

I used to love Kingswood country, great show. "Your not taking the Kingswood, I just polished the dipstick" :laugh: I would love to see this show again. I thought it was similar in some ways to a British show called 'Love Thy Neighbor' also a great show, and most likely banned now. I think the world is too sensitive these days.
Yes... Pickle me Grandmother.. Its the ..
Someone should blow (insert anything)....up!!
Love thy neighbour was great too.
One of my very favourite shows is / was Quincey MD!! I loved Quincey and Sam!! Its on Fox now, last week when I was home sick from work I got to watch it again. It was wonderful..recouperative therapy!! ;)
I think todays tv could learn a lot from tv shows from the past, they were more simple, and without all this political correctness that spoils tv these days IMO.
Political correctness goes too far some times doesn't it??
I think most people are adult? enough to know where the line is onmost things..
It certainly has curtailedalot of the activities / Jokes in my office these days!!
Yeah, I know what you mean. I am guilty of making the odd sexist, or racist joke in the past, but, when I have made them, most of the time people realise that I am just kidding, and know that I am nor racist, or sexist. I despise people that are racist, sexist or descriminate. I will take the piss out of anyone if I have the chance :laugh: I love to see people laughing, sometimes I must laugh at myself, for all the stupid things I do. I think people take things too seriously sometimes.
What did you say? You wanted a Rossi helmet? :p

I don't care what kind of sponsorship arrangement AGV have with Rossi, it has been absolute value for money for them. I bet there are thousands of Rossi fans who have multiple helmets for the different designs.
Incidently, both my helmets (road - Mladin rep, and dirt) are AGV's. They just seem to fit my headshape whereas a Suomy I couldn't even get over my forehead when I wanted a Bayliss rep.
Corny, from your sig, Barros ?
That's who I thought too, John.
yes, Barros :D
I have one Rossi helmet..No bike!! :(
Lots of diecast replicas though... :rolleyes:
Now I know what that sig was all about... I couldn't think of who it could be.. :dozey:
I miss Mr Bean, (Barros) in Motogp. A very under-rated rider IMO.
Mr Bean!!!! :DQuote:

And Loris is an Umpa Lumpa from Willy Wonka And The Chocolate factory :D
Does she have a look alike for Dovi?? Some one nice I hope!!
I will ask her tonight after work.
It's been a while since I posted in here and in here I usually post about videogames
At Jerez Dorna and Capcom announced that Capcom has got the rights for MotoGP games on all platforms. Capcom's MotoGP 2008 will be for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PC, PS2 and mobiles
also in videogames, SBK 08 website went live a while back, graphically the game looks way better than 07 and from what I read they are adding a more sim features like working with an engineer and pit crew to set up your bike
http://www.sbk08.com
I maybe one of regular visitor of Official Website thread, We may need to put this Tech3 website also in case it's their official website
Team Tech3 : http://teamtech3.fr/
it is their official website.
also some others that could be added
http://www.kawasaki-racingteam.eu/ is sort of a main page that links to all of their teams.
and some that need to be edited
World SBK no longer has a separate website for its videos.
the World Endurance website is http://www.fimendurance.com
In germany http://www.dmsb.de/ is the german motor federation (for both cars and bikes) , not the superbike site
Randy De Puniet no longer has a website
Honda's 2008 version website is http://world.honda.com/MotoGP/
http://www.yamahamotogp.com/ is Yamaha's press website, their website for the puplic is http://www.yamaha-racing.com and Yamaha Italia in WorldSBK also uses this website as an english version
The Pramac d'Antin website (called Team Alice for this season) is http://www.aliceteam.com though http://www.dantin-pramac.com will re-direct you
Some Randy :eek: info available here..

Motorcycles are cool. That is a pretty straightforward fact. Some cars are pretty cool but not as cool as bikes. Is it possible to make a car as cool as a bike? Yes. This is how. :D

ah... a Smartuki
here's its website http://www.smartuki.com
I'm not sure if the Campagna T-Rex is considered a car but its powered by motorcycle engines, the latest by Kawasaki's 1400cc ZX14R engine.
here is it's website http://www.t-rexvehicles.com
the site also has a video of fifth gear's Tiff Needell testing it.
Thanks for that ChrisS. The T-Rex, whilst ungainly, looks like a lot of fun and Tiff's pretty cool for an old guy. He can drive a bit too!
Relating to dilemma which one do you prefer between bike or car racing, is hard choice.
This weekend F1 and superbike might fall on the same time zone. I will make sure to watch the start of them both, the rest of it stay tuned on Superbike.
unless Biaggi falls again. :D
Cars are better. My mate got blown off his Bandit in the wind, I can safely say that I have never been blown out of my car. Also he always turns up to places wet and freezing cold, the roof and heater in my car make sure it doesn't happen to me :D And there is nothing cool about dressing up like an S+M gimp and drinking orange juice :p :
Hi all, I am packing up all my stuff, and moving to Perth, (Australia). My ma is 77 now, and wants me to be around, so the wife and I decided we should go. It will take us about 3 or 4 months to get everything sorted,so I might not be here as regular as usual for a short time. The biggest hassle for me is sitting all the driving exams to get all my license's back, I had car/motorcycle/truck/bus etc before I came to China, but it has been 6 years, so I will have to start squatting for the knowledge tests. I hope that when I get there, I will find work quickly, as I want to save some cash for the pilgrimage to Phillip Island for the MotoGp.
Wow! I was feeling really bad for you with after last weekend and the trouble you had trying to view SBKs but that will be a thing of the past soon. Good luck to you both. You "squat" for tests over there? ;)Quote:

Cheers for the well wishes. My biggest problem will be my cat "Monkeyboy" , I just hope that we can take him with us, as I raised him from one week old, bottle fed him. He really thinks we are mum and dad. I am sure it should be fine, we will get a certificate of clean health from the vet, though I know he will be quarantined for a while when we get there. I must start selling off some of my belongings, as I can't take everything with me. I love traveling, but I hate moving.
chac47, I meant to say Swatting, but yes, you squat for everything over here :D
