just watched the race across london. Was good but the best bit was when they were making excuses for the car at the end.

Oh yes. How they got to the challenge was genius.

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

That's no way to sail. No one's getting arrested for streaming TV shows. You are just a pansy.

It's not just a fear of prosecution, it's a general opposition to the practice. If producers of media can no longer make a profit, they will cease to produce said media, or at the least put less money into it..

I agree that Top Gear is heavily win orientated.

RLY, I wouldn't worry about Top Gear, the BBC is the state funded TV channel so they'll be making shows till doomsday. I agree with you to a certain extent but since the show is not made for outside the UK why not watch it on whatever media is available.

It's good enough to test my convictions. We'll see.

Last night's episode was brilliant - Jay Kay is awesome. And the German challenge was funny, if in places a little forced. One of the better episodes overall, I think.

@ Raymond, regarding specifically Top Gear, as Cougar said the BBC is state funded so it doesn't lose any advertising revenue if you don't watch it, and they don't release DVDs for some reason, so the only way you can watch an episode after the initial showings is by internet or happening to catch it on Dave if you live somewhere you get the channel.

Go on, you know you want to... >_>

I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.

@RLY - You're missing out if you don't watch the shorter challenges and some of the Star in a...'s are good too.

The latest show was brill. Challenge against the German TG presenters - Jezza - "We've been told not to mention the war".

*enter stage left to the theme from 'Dambusters'* all three flying over the channel to Belgium (JC - "A country that was invented just for England and Germany to fight in the skies over") in WWII fighters. :lachen70:

Awesomeness defined!

Watched the USA trip again yesterday (3rd time) and was still crying with laughter.
Jezza's idea of roadkill is just so far beyond anyone elses it makes me wet myself.

The Doubled-up cars reminded me of a game we played at school, in which you got in pairs, did a piggyback, and then the person on top had to punch, throw off the person on top of other pairs, and the last pair standing won. It could get a bit bruising/painful sometimes though.

I was laughing most of the way through the challenge against the Germans. The guy with the hook getting stuck to the steering wheel.
