How We See The World

The bitch has done it! The bitch has finally done it! YES! The man whore who we've known as Cristiano Ronaldo is FINALLY leaving the English Premier League for £80 million to Real Madrid. I have to say how heartbroken that Spaniards will have to endure his childish behaviour, his cocky goal celebrations and his twattyness in general. Spain, I feel for you. Unlucky for Manchester United though. I guess the name Cristiano United won't apply now. No more free kicks or goals from 40 yards to savour now. Still a plump £80 million will go a nice way to serving that debt of £600 million within the club.

Some places say they do, some say the dont :/ I bought Rock Band the other day cos i've wanted it for ages, but I didnt fancy fawking out all of that money for something i essentially dont NEED. It's good, but Guitar Hero World Tour has a better tracklist apparantly, I know for sure it has 'Shiver' on, which is worth the buy just for that. Just wondering if any of you use, or know anyone that used their Rock Band drum kit to play GHWT. Cheers :)

i'd be very happy, if you guys could help me. after my computer broke down, the songs that i've bought and stored on iTunes were gone. the iTunes store still knows which songs i already have, but they're not in the files any longer. i (of course! :sick:) didn't make copies on cd's. so now, in order to not loose all those songs also on my iPod, i stopped the automatic synchronizing- thingy. which in return means, that i can't put all the songs, that I've got since then on my iPod. complicated description, but maybe one or the other of you got the point? what to do? :\

Seems self explanitory, does it not?

Okay, so I know a bunch of musicians like Metallica claim that free downloading is killing the music business, but one thing I'd like to point out is that it's not. Downloading is legal in my homeland of Canada, yet VLVODAAHF is 5x Platinum and in America it's only 2x platinum. So f*** off Metallica!

Got mine for IMAX about two weeks ago :D

I know there has to be someone on here that likes it. I'm addicted to the games. :wacky: not the show:sick:
