To be honest I haven't paid much attention to the Wii U. I began drifting away from Nintendo when the novelty of my Nintendo Wii wore out and third parties began releasing half-baked vacuous games for it... That said, I hope the Wii U does well. It's good to have competition in the marketplace. Who knows, having considered what happened with Playstation Move it's possible that the PS3's successor may eventually have a 'controller mounted screen' to rival Nintendo if the Wii U begins gathering steam...
I'm uncomfortable with tipping... if I tip too low I'm a mean cheapskate... and that's fine. But if I tip well I'm always concerned that I come across as trying to look like a big shot:?
I'm surprised that so many of you guys are still driving American cars from the early 1990s... I didn't think that American cars lasted that long! It would appear that all of the European negativity about the U.S. car industry is a little overblown. I don't drive. Living as I do in the UK having a car is a rip off if you don't absolutely positively need one - the insurance is extortionate... Plus the cost of car tax, servicing and the heavy duties on fuel render the bus the cheaper option. Parking is expensive too.
Likes: - The National Health Service and the principle of universal access to healthcare which it embodies
Dislike: - The rigid class culture - Inept politicians and the lack of viable political alternatives to the mainstream parties - The short term outlook of British businesses, many of which have long since been sold to foreign competitors without a consideration for the consequences - The British press - The culture of entitlement - Britain's drinking culture - The power of corporate interests in the running of the state - The need for the government to remain 'politically correct' and how this prevents it from acknowledging and tacking pressing, but albeit uncomfortable, social issues. - The arrogant presumption that the UK has maintained a position at the centre of global politics and will remain a key player in the global economy in years to come without having to make drastic changes in its economic, political and social infrastructure.
This morning. I shave every other day with an electric razor but always have an obligatory 'weekend beard' which I then shave each Monday with a normal razor as it gets too long to comfortably shave it with the electric razor.
No, I'm not fat. My objection has nothing to do with being fat/thin or the person with their shirt off being fat/thin etc. I hate it because I think it's disrespectful, dirty and shows a lack of restraint.
Maybe I'm just being needlessly cantankerous but it doesn't stop it annoying me like crazy.
