I misread the title as "reading" as in reading a book. Thought XDA had suddenly turned all studious and cultural for a moment and you were promoting some sort of book festival (not that there would be anything wrong with that!)

mike...what have u been smoking?
Best festival here in canada (IMO) is WEMF which is the World Electronic Music Festival where it's pretty much 3 days of camping + electronic music (anything from techno to hhc to drum n bass) i managed to go last year and i believe it was one of the best weekend long events i've ever been to
Silly Rory...Nothing at Reading compares to this.
what a randomer calling me silly.. noobs!
Haha...Shutup Rory. You know I'm right. As I said earlier, the violin is a more popular instrument than all types of guitar combined.

[clap, clap] for germany.. obviously they were the better team..
So england are out the world cup?
Well done Germany they deserved it,just the same old crap from england lots of promise but never ever deliver
What happened to Rooney? He did nothing, nothing I say
tough loss for england
Germany looks very strong for the next round
So after that shameful performance, does that mean they can start using some good players now then instead of the same players all the time,

Hopefully it will mean we structure our team, tell them who is playing in a decent time before the game, and not field Heskey. Oh, and let the wags go with them into their rooms, you never know, they may actually score and transfer that to the pitch!
In fairness to the germans though, they found a gap in the defence and exploited it to their needs. There isn't anything James could have done - he had a great game in my opinion.
Hopefully this will be the shock we need to actually form a decent team, and let the players who had their go and failed to perform get on with their lives.
Germany vs Argentina should be a great game though!
I'm not one for football or jokes tbh but my old man just sent me this i had to laugh
substituting defoe for heskey when you need goals!!!Is like switching off porn when you fancy a wa^k
i liked it lol

What about the coach, are U ok that Capello should be in the front of the team after his performance in the World Cup?
yes get rid of the gaffa, and what ever money they the players have made during the world cup should be given to a charity of some sort they shouldn't get paid for playing for there country especially when there performance was that bad.
well maybe the problem is not the coach or the players. the problem might be even bigger. all the good players in Premier league are not english. Italy has the same problem.

Totality agree with you..
I don't agree with how Capello did things, hence me mentionning more notice for players and more free time and allow the wags.
I think Capello has done really poor as a manager for England, he should be gone, and we shouldn't have to be waiting the 2 weeks to know he has gone and Harry Redknapp is the new manager.
I wasn't happy with Capello before the world cup, let alone after, but lets face it, he was much better then Steve McLaren!
I think Redknapp would be godo for England, having had him manage both my local teams it should be a bit interesting, although with Redknapp you never know what Bungs he is going to do, I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to marry some foreign players so they can have an english passport and play for us

You are absolutely right, while the leagues are advocating for including more foreign players they leave no space for national players to play in these great leagues
Sad.... England lost! eng team formation lacks defenders.....
didn't England supposed to have 2 goals? cause according to dad and uncle who watch the match that night, actually saw that the ball actually went into the goal for about few inches... keeper caught it, chucked it and pretended nothing happened and ref said no goal...
anyone saw that part as well? any chance for a vid link?
cheers
I don't have a vid link, but it did go over the goal, quite obviously as well... I also think the germans may have been offside for the first goal - but I have only seen that goal once as I walked past a TV at the airport! I'm pretty sure it will be on youtube somewhere (Can't find as I am at work...)
It is sad England lost, I still don't think it would have been too different if Rio hadn't been sent home injured.
My new favorite show, and no, haven't read the books yet, so please keep spoilers to what we've seen over 9 episodes, with the finale this Sunday.
Anyway, thought I'd start off with a bang. If you know who died in the last episode, witness the greatest fanboy rage display of all time and the coining of one or more new memes/catchprases.
Warning! Foul, racial language, and also IMO painfully funny:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owf6D2vfZqM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
XD
Who's looking forward to Sunday?
I usually watch the latest episode on Monday night, along with Treme. It's my second favourite night of the week after Friday!
Game of Thrones didn't really grab me at first but i'm certainly hooked now. I'm sure as good as it is that it loses a lot in translation from the books though.
Game of thrones +1
Hell yeah luv that show
Ok, I have downloaded almost every single episode, but I was too stuck at studying to watch it. After seeing all these reviews, I definitely have to watch.
And for the benefits of out-dated people like me, no spoilers please.

Great Series. HBO kills the networks. True Blood, Curb Your Enthusiasm............
By far my favorite show of all time. After the season finale tonight I will be picking up the books and hopefully finish them before the second season starts.
Noooooo. No spoilers here, but all I'ma say is, they do a good job of gainin' hate for the Lannisters. Grrr, go Stark!
THE KING IN THE NORTH!
Wow. What a finale. Can we time travel to 2012 Spring already please? I am tempted to say much more but for now I'll leave it at this: must. read. books. now.
I haven't been this amped for a new season since 24.
Best death of the season was definitely the golden crown.
My stepdad just bought me the 4-book paperback box set for a present. He's so cool. Now I'm racing people to be ready for book 5 which gets released in a few weeks. Damn, I hope it doesn't ruin watching the series..."you die, and you, and you.." ;-)
Love this show!! so sad the season just ended, cant believe we have to wait a year for season 2

We have similar tastes
Like the title states... I'm pre-enlisting into the Marine Corps next summer, and I've recently gotten into XDA. I figured I'd try to find anyone else on this Forum in/joining the Military.
I almost signed up to the British Army when i was 16 and have always regretted not following through with it. In my work i have a lot of colleagues who are ex-military and they're all great guys. Every one of them deserve the utmost respect for serving their country.
If it's what you want to do, don't let anything stand in your way! Keep us updated with your news and hopefully in future you can tell us stories about your Boot-Camp and Tours of duty!
I'm also in the process of joining the USMC. I'm just waiting for my backround check to come in but its been two months already .. I think its because I had to put in a waiver but hopefully my waivers go thru ..

Waaay too old now!
I'm sitting next to a retired Ghurka atm and those guys are fearless. Most of them serve for 20 years or more and have seen combat all over the world. One of them, who is a serving soldier, is currently under investigation for cutting the head off a Taliban fighter.
Who needs guns!
Edit: I'm 'Thanking' everyone in this thread who is serving or joining up. It's the least a civvy could do!
I was in the USAF, 4 years, best experience of my life.

When the military are used to police the civilians in their own country you know that something is wrong! Any soldier that raises a weapon to one of their own deserves everything that IS coming to them!
Good luck my friend. The people will always triumph in the end, be patient!
I deeply believe in Karma. Not as some supernatural, occult force...just that everyone has everything that's coming to them! Live your life as a good person and good things will come your way. Live your life as an evil bastard and that's how your life will end.
Live by the sword, die by the sword. What goes around, comes around. Pick your metaphor! The good will out...

There's no politicaling going on around here! So how's everyone finding their HTC, Widows Mobile phone anyway.....?
Edit: It's a shame that there have to be divisions, borders, territory, politics in real life. We are all one race and we all share the same planet. XDA is my favourite site because the things that bring us together knows no boundaries. I now have friends all over the world, all good people, and like the other 99% of the worlds population we all want the same thing! A long and fruitful life and good health for ourselves, our friends and our families.
In a forum of 4 million members i would say that XDA OT is the place to come to find friendship, understanding, respect, fun, sadness, joy, and laughter. We have member aged from 14 years to 60 years, from every walk of life, from every nation. We don't fight, we don't hate...we laugh, we share sorrow and we spread happiness. I would be a lesser person if not for the people i surround myself with here. I learn with these people, i share with these people...these people are my family!*
*The mods are especially awesome!
I was born in the military. My mom was in the Army and had me right before her Unit was deployed to Grenada or Panama or some place back then. She had the choice of signing me over to the custody of the US or get out of the military. My mom was born in the military, too. On one of the Naval bases in Hawaii. My grandpa was in the Marines. I got accepted in high school but backed out when a mess of things happened and none of my family wanted me to enlist, but rather go in after collage. Got rejected when I was 23 for enlistment and again when I was 25. Too much trouble making when I was a kid. Maybe we'll get in another world war and open the draft again. I'll join then, they won't reject me then.

Anybody watch it? I love this show. Just started up a new season here in America. Just learned it came from Britain and is a world wide show.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banged_Up_Abroad
Really is world wide.
I've always wanted to travel the world and this show makes me want to keep my nose clean in another country. Especially in the 3rd world countries. Just a great show imo. You get to learn about other countries, while seeing some wild stories.
I also love this serie, in fact I have always been fascinated for everything related to prisons (though I´ve never been there, lol). My favourite film is "The Shawshank redemption" and my favourite serie is OZ. And about this serie it is very useful to show young people how they can get into a major problem if they try to make "easy money" that way. And believe me, prisons are not the same in a developed country than in a poor one (I come from one of these).

I can't but help feel that most of these of the people are idiots or at least didn't think before they did what they did. Even the people who went to other countries to bring back a suitcase filled with Levi's, did you not think that if it was that easy this guy would be doing it every week? Of course your luggage is lined with heroin. They don't want to get in trouble for it, so they send you to get it.
The ones I do feel sorry for are the ones backpacking through the country side and get kidnapped or locked up for being spies and such. Those people were just going on vacation and bam, you're in jail. Part of the reason I went backpacking across the South part of USA and not in Mexico or South America. I should have done it in Canada, but eh, maybe another day.

National Geographic aka NatGeo. Last weeks season premiere comes on again before the new episode. New episode at 10 pm eastern time. Last week was badass, reminds me of me if that was to happen to me. I really liked it.
The show has really changed since it first started. Used to they danced around the issue of torture and never actually said it. Just said "he hit me", then you see them come out of the room with one eye swollen shut, busted lip, missing teeth. Like they want to show how much the person got hit but can't say it because of relations or something behind the scenes is keeping them from editing in that they were tortured. Now, they just say it, and depict it in the show. Pretty real now.
