Any chance before the thread runs on that we just use facts? Not i was talking a man with a dog in a bar anecdotes?

Just saw it. Awesome competition. Im surprised nobody talks about Nurmagomedov as the best pound for pound fighter in history. He has simply demolished everyone Ive seen him fight. 25-0 is a ludicrous record in MMA. As far as the girls go, the only one who could beat cyborg now is the big (and hot)...

I was at an event many years ago where a former England Captain started his speech with a line like "My father and I played for England a total of 120 times". I think the speaker had about 5 caps. Which got a laugh. Its a joke used a lot ....or variations. Always good for a laugh. From hockey 2 var...

There is a couple of Aussies in the NFL now, it's not any more remarkable than that. Have to disagree. The transition from AFL or rugby or league to the positions played by the Aussies in the NFL is a lot closer than making the NHL.

It depends

If your motivation is always driving flash or new, then lease.
If you:
1) drive a car into the ground OR
2) Do huge miles OR
3) Get a forever car (Volvo) OR
4) Get a car with a huge resale value
etc

Then there are better options with buying.

Are Canada really not top 20? They're a little bit better than the non-Georgia/Romania contingent of Europe's second tier, and about level with Uruguay (who really aren't too shabby, just too small to compete with the big boys). I'd say 19 or so would be fair. You are WAY too generous. We are shit....
