“The men and women of Afghanistan are building a nation that is free, and proud, and fighting terror - and America is honored to be their friend.”

What a brilliant quote from a ridiculous liberal...

However to get to the point at hand...

Luke over at 'An Organised Mess' has come up with an awesome challenge for the p4 team.

Given the recent deaths in the Uk and Us' assault on Afghanistan (8 UK deaths in 24 hours!) I felt I should really brush up on my knowledge of this topic.

My original instinct is to pull the troops straight out of Afghanistan, however this seems to be an act of surrender on our parts. When I continue to delve into this subject I found out that since we've been trying to restore democracy to this desolate wasteland, there have been almost 179 British deaths alone- this doesn't even account for the scores of fatalities this has caused.

So, to my second thought if we were to pull out of Afghanistan then there are a number of negative points which I should consider.

Take for instance, we do pull out, then surely the 178 deaths are in vain. If we really are there to restore democracy, then pulling out when we encounter problems seems to undermine the reasons those brave heroes went to war for.

Now I have no doubts than many will strongly disagree with the above, but that's the whole idea of opinions, we have the right to express our views.

Now I do agree that as per, Gordon Brown is being a typical bumbling wanker in refusing to send more vehicles equipt to deal with IED's and helicopters to provide the troops with easier transport to the strongholds those murderers hold.

I'm not suggesting that when the public make the epic mistake of electing Cameron into power that it'll all be solved because as much as he has promised, we all know that any politician never keeps there promises. (I'd vote Tory if I didn't think Cameron was such a tosser- UKIP all the way!)

However, I do feel that someone needs to step up to the mark and help those heroes (and there's no denying that they are), because if it wasn't for them, I guarantee that we'd be experiencing more terrorist attacks than we are.

If the labour government are happy to pay £6 million per hour to stay in the EU, then surely they can fund the necessary adequate equipment needed to help our troops...

"Madder than a bag full of actresses. And even more desirable!"

If I had to explain to you exactly what an orgasm would look like. If I had to paint perfection. If I had to sacrifice seventeen Lebanese prostitutes to afford one then I know what I'd choose...

If a 3.6l engine and 415 horsepower doesn't impress you then I should probably tell you that it also sports a six cylinder engine. This enables the porsche to have a low centre of gravity- which allows it to roar around any track.

The engine of the GT3 sets it apart from the other models although it shares the same basic 3.6 litre displacement of the standard 996 type so-called "integrated dry-sump" flat-six engine. It is actually based on the original 911's versatile, true dry-sump crankcase. The original version of the GT3 had 355 hp, compared to the 296 hp of the regular 996.

This engine gives the GT3 a distinct racing heritage that dates back to the Porsche 904/6 of the mid-60's, up to the Carrera Cup and 997 Super Cup and RSR racing cars of today.

The GT3's gearbox has interchangeable gear ratios and is more durable making it more suitable for racing than the standard 996 type 911 gearbox.

At 435 hp the 3.8 litre flat-six engine in the 997 GT3 and GT3 RS is the most powerful naturally aspirated six cylinder engine in any production car.

It really does just scream "POWER!"

And it doesn't stop there...

With more buttons on the dashboard that on a rather larger woman's blouse it'll keep those of us who are easily distracted amused for several hours, whilst at the same time offering a great stress relief for bumbling oafs like Gordon Brown. "Me angry, me push buttons fix country.... Gordon happy..." you get the general idea...

Now for the good stuff (courtesy of Top Gear- although this is referencing the GT2 :-( )

Overall Verdict...

The wildest, fastest 911 around – rear-engined, rear wheel drive and 523bhp of turbocharged silliness. See why they call it the widowmaker? We’d still take the GT3 instead though.

Comfort...

For something that’ll keep pace with a Ferrari 430 Scud on just about any road, it’s not half bad even over dodgy road surfaces. That said, it’s not exactly what you’d call a comfortable car to drive. And then there’s always the lurking suspicion that it Actually Wants To Kill You.

Performance...

Jaw-dropping. A reworked version of the Turbo’s 3.6-litre sees a frankly insane 523bhp and 502lb ft of torque. That’s good for 0-62 in 3.6 seconds, 0-100mph in 7.4 seconds and a top speed on the scary side of 200mph. In a drag race, it’ll eat the Nissan GT-R for breakfast. And then come back for elevenses.

Coolness...

Instantly marks you out as a tosser. But the sort of tosser who’s happy to die in hideous and immediate fashion. Which, we think you’ll agree, is the most likeable sort of tosser

Handling...

The 911 is an icon of impracticality; the car the divorcee buys when he no longer has the kids to worry about. There’s a roll cage behind the front seats. What more do you need to know?

Top Gear Top Tip...

Unless you really, really have to have the ultimate Porsche, save yourself 50 grand and go for the GT3. It’s just slightly more pure…

Now it's time to put it in the hands of our rather tame racing driver...

Some say that he actually choreographed the entire Thriller music video whilst waiting for his McMuffin, others that if you met him in a bar he'd be sat in the corner drinking Pimms out of a woman's boot...

All we know is he's called 'The Stig'...

On the power lap it scored a rather arousing 1.22.3!

II couldn't find The Stig's verdict so I'll do this myself!

"One word, AWESOME!"

For the win :-D

The following are my top 25 (in order) songs ever. You will see the number it ranks in SB's chart, song title then the category it is placed in.

Under the happy category there are;
1. All Night Long - Lionel Richie - I defy any of you to not appreciate him!

Love consists of;

3. Dancing on The Ceiling - Lionel, had to get one in this section as well.

It's been a while!

Hello out there to all of you SB! fans (yes all 2 of you), it has been an epically long time since I last post purely because the British government feel the need to exam the shit out of us, causining unnecessary amounts of both stress and boredom (and that's just revision).

Because of this, you have missed my rants on recent current events, but these will follow shortly (I promise)!

However I have got some new stuff in the works, so keep checking back for updates - I've got a mammoth amount of free time so I'll endeavour to post new posts on a daily basis.

I did, however, think of a good way to get the P4 universe back into action. I feel that "epic article number..." is growing very tedious now, so I have put great thinking into this and have come up with...

The P4 top 100 songs ever (I propose that each of us take 25 songs - 4 of us doing 25 songs gives us a nice round 100).

I think if we try to have this in action by Thursday if gives us five days to achieve this.

It's good to be back...
Lee :-D

The SB! Guide to... well life!

First of all I must apologise for my horrific lack of posts lately, how I had the hubris to neglect the blog is unforgivable. However I thought I would take the opportunity to offer "Perry's perspective" (yes I know my name isn't Perry, but I wanted to throw a scrubs quote in there) and give you the Surprisingly Bewildered guide to life.


Regarding Life...
"the only way to be respected as a doctor and a man is to be an island, you are born alone, you damn sure die alone. isn't that right spike? the point is, and you might want to jot this down, only the weak need help" - Dr Perry Cox.

A truer word has never been spoken, man fends for himself. It is when people decide to blur the lines and interfere with other people's business (regardless of whether they need it or not) that causes conflict and tension.

Surely if man was left to fend for himself this world would be a better place? Obviously this isn't always the case and there is sometimes a need to blur the lines. However, I would prefer it if I was left to my own devices and able to do whatever I want.

Why do we feel that we need to help those who aren't actually in need, why do we waste thousands of tax payers money on council estates , supporting chavs who don't want our help and will happily 'shank' you for the aforementioned money.


Regarding Politics...
"Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong." ~Richard Armour

It's no secret that I am very right wing, I would happily be the one who refuses entry to the UK to anyone who tries to enter on the back of a lorry. There's all this talk about 'their' civil liberty, but no talk about our own. We're happy to exploit our own kind just so we look good to the rest of the world. We'll happily be Europe, nay, the rest of the world's doormat to prove how loving Britain truly is.

For too long now people have been avoiding comments like the above because of fear of the backlash they will receive. Why does this great nation happily buckle under the pressure of Europe, to show how equal and liberal we are?

Did you know it costs the UK more than six million pounds PER HOUR to be part of the EU! Why are we happily paying this much to be part of the 'cool' gang? Or perhaps we're afraid of being isolated from the rest of the world. This nation used to rule the world at one point, we went from being the 'Alpha-male' to becoming the herd of sheep we now know as Great Britain!

It's time for a change!

"Politicians are like diapers. They both need changing regularly and for the same reason. "

I'm back and better than ever, got a knack for making things better...

Well I can safely say that the whole internet kerfuffle is behind us!

New post to come soon...

In the meantime check out the new features on the page!

Much love,

Lee @ SB!

The sky's the limit- but BT are whores!

I must apologise for my epic lack of posts lately but BT have decided to stop providing us with a phone line for no reason, so whilst this matter is being resolved - my posts will be infrequent if at all.

Sorry and much love,

Lee @ SB :-D
