They voted for Ron Paul. Ron Paul while not a tea party candidate is far more enticing or should be to tea part folk then Bachmann or Perry. It would be great if Paul won the nomination, while he would be pretty a disastrous President for Americans his foreign policy and drug policy would be great for everyone else

Declare at lunch?
As someone who grew up on a farm flystrike was always a big issue that we drenched for every year. Not a nice sight. Once a sheep goes down with it most farmers in our area would put them down near a dam somewhere. Preventive measures were the go. Always fun shearing that area of the sheep! Sorry that it happened to a pet, horrible thing to happen to an animal.
Chicken dinner. Most people I know who are picking it up have said the same thing, give it a run now and if they like it they can transfer later, if they don't like it then no bother.
Oh lol!
Basically this, it's online only so they won't accept returns of any kind. If someone complains they'll pass them on to the EA customer service.
Probably the strangest thing I've ever seen. North America only? Makes no sense.
As you said Choc this generation is so stupid sometimes.
and then EA will tell EB to deal with it and EB will have a fit and then it will get messy.
so stupid.
I think EB will have to take responsibility. Hopefully I actually will get comment from them. Should have a story up soon.
Yeah, EA will say "not supported in your country as it hasn't been released" and tell them to go back to the retailer. Repeat x infinity.
EB may be expecting only MMO hardcores to pick it up who would be less hassle with customer service, but then they're the most likely to have bought keys online.
I wonder how the delay will have impacted the launch due to people buying keys online.

This looks rad as hell. Why can't actual developers make Kinect games as kick arse as people who are sitting in their bedrooms?

Dude that sucks. Poor thing.
Flystrike is why farmers mules sheep. You know the thing that PETA et al are against because its so cruel? Stopping that is why farmers do it. Although I do think there are more humane ways to deal with it these days. Don't quote me on that bit though. I could be wrong

It was classic, wasn't it?
Why would he do that?
why did tubby do it? do you remember
Why didn't Hayden? Why bother.
Yeah the time for that has passed.

Clarke will have to wait till after lunch to crack 300.
The fact that the Aussies haven't declared is down right fucking moronic. Slowing down the scoring rate this morning was fkn stupid. They should have gone out there with a plan to average 6 an over and got the job done for the fkn team, not slow it down so they could get their records.
Batting after lunch is pure folly.

India don't look like they will bowl us out until middle of next year. All that is of concern now is what Clarke will see as enough is enough. We already lead by 400, at this point India will only bat for the draw.

I think Clarke is going to bat for as long as possible so he can break all the records he can.
They could easily declare once Clarke has his 300 and win by an innings with a day to spare.
Remember Test #1 vs england last year
siddle got a hatrick 1st innings
England batted 2 days for a draw
Maybe you've forgotten just how good this Indian batting line up is. There's no guarantee they'll tear through it a second time. They could quite easily put on 600 themselves, or bat out 2 days.
Going back out there is pure vanity and not a good choice for the team to WIN. And AU needs to win, you're in a winning position, don't go and fuck it up.
Records? I think haydens is the highest ever score by an aussie, and that was 400 something? if we're batting after tea today, we've decided we're not playing cricket, but "keep our spots in the team".
You're making a pretty good argument for staying in there.
I think it's pretty close to declaration time, but there's no need to man the panic stations yet.
i would wager that hussey wouldn't have got 100 if the top order didnt do well
middle order collapses will continue in Australia. They only bat well when the guys @ the top do well
its always been like that, even in haydos and langers days
You're pulling that out of your arse.
As you say, 392 (the current lead) isn't a lay down that India will be dismissed under that score, despite their recent form and a flat as track. Another 100, declaring just before Tea or something seems on the cards for mine.
The only real threat to a win is rain, if choc's rumour mongering isn't exaggerated. Again.
Hayden and Langer only ever had six 200+ partnerships. You're making up shit.

Clarke's bat.
Clarke needs to declare once he hits 300 though. No need to go on with it anymore.
Strange, never had any problems with PSN. Had more than a few issues with having to power cycle the router for the 360 when everything else was running fine.
Our bowling lineup is in much better condition and India aren't looking too good with the bat.

Why? He'll hit 300 pretty soon so there's still plenty of time left. Wouldn't be surprised to see him just start smashing the ball though.
The partnerships of Langer+Ponting and Hayden+Ponting both have higher averages than Hayden+Langer. Hayden+Ponting had more 100 partnerships. Not that they weren't a good opening pair, but their success didn't determine how the middle order went.

Lead of 400 gives plenty for our bowlers to be attacking. Even if India make 600 we will be left 200 to chase. At this point it is more likely that India will fold, they have been ground into submission these past few days and unless the openers come out and smash a quick fire hundred we shouldn't lose the psychological edge. And then we get to bat again as a last resort. The longer we bat the less time India have to block out to a draw, depending on the weather as well. I can see Clarke batting to tea but I don't see why we still need to be batting after that. India have been out in the field for a long ass time now and our bowlers will be fresh and keen to rip them out.
Yeah we had a damn fun batting team. So enjoyable to watch.

There are very few copies of SWTOR for walk-in customers, most of the stock EB is getting is to cover preorders only. This seems like a good thing to me, customers who took the effort to preorder are being rewarded.

What a knock. Destroyed his previous best and made a huge score that will always stand out. Very few chances given to the Indian bowlers and some fantastic shots to watch. If this doesn't make people respect him more I don't know what will apart from the Ashes.
Will buy some scotch tonight in his honour. I'm sure he would like that.

i got no problem with EB Doing this, if EB is prepared to deal with customers pains
and realise EA can't
and before one of your EB drones comes back and says EA should because its customer service and required well then
-why should EA have to be forced to deal with something not of their own doing
-Have their plans completely FUCKED UP by a company out of their control doing something out of their control
-Be forced to rush costly plans ahead to open up servers and call centres for the oceanic region
because some little shit company wants to make a lot of money, fast.
The fact is they shouldn't because its not EA's responsibilities. Customers take risks importing, EB does as well. But they will try to be CUNTS About the whole thing you can guarantee it.
