Why is it that in this country everything is so expensive? In the US pretty much every game is £10-£20 cheaper, depending on the platform. The ps2 was around £40 cheaper over there, and from something i read it seems to have the Hard Drive built in, which is another big saving.
The worst bit is the PAL encription system. I dont know the reason for this(so i could be completely wrong),but the only use i can see it has is forcing us to spend more than everyone else. WHY?

Here's another one:

Labour Government

So a conservative government wouldn't be as bad eh?

How do they think (conservative this is) that they can save the averag road user £80 per year on taxm, and save loads in other ways, about £26billion i think, and yet not have to make cuts to the NHS, education etc?

Also, what is £80 a year to the average motorist?
It's £1.54 a week. Wow! Big savings!

You could save more by having one less pint of beer at the weekend, on buying less fags!

If petrol prices are brought down it will make the road system in this country bloomin' appalling!

Nope - as far as I can see your account is entirely intact. There is only one other account in your name and that's got zero posts in it (ter scotland).
