Went to see Mad Max Fury Road and left the cinema before the end of the film. Absolutely mind numbing. No emotion. Read some reviews and the critics loved it. I reckon the film companies pay the critics back handlers in exchange for favourable reviews.

Not saying I disagree with this assessment, but that's kind of the point of the Mad Max franchise. The first three with Mel Gibson were the exact same way, just kind of silly, filler action. I don't think George Miller ever intended them to be thought-provoking or stimulating, but the fourth iteration of the series is certainly visually stunning. They're all pretty lighthearted, but personally I find them all entertaining.
Although Whiplash it is not :).

That Blatter chap, he's not so bad really is he, the press have got the wrong end of the stick about him. I hope he gets a 6th term.

Correct, actually there are European national football-associations (example: Germany) who dislike that every member gets treaten equally in the FIFA (sick, right?). Isn't it what this self-proclaimed Democracy is all about? BTW Do y'all know who Platini gave his vote for the 2022 World Cup to? Right, it was Qatar. And now he's crying because the UEFA has ''only'' equal rights compared to the other continental associations CONCACAF, CONMEBOL, AFC, CAF & OFC. Sick world…

Isn't Blatter like 150 years old or something? He's like the Emperor Palpatine of football.

Ming and Palpatine were turned down for jobs at FIFA for being too morally upstanding.
You've got to hand it to Blatter though. At a time when a large number of senior executives in his organisation are arrested for corruption, not only does he refuse to resign his position, but he claims to be the only candidate for election who could clean up FIFA.
-
Why not? He remains unindicted in a sea of corruption and criminality that goes back decades. Only a man of unique moral character and astonishing conduct could manage such an unbelievable feat.
-
It strikes me that either:
-
Blatter has either been complicit in, or tolerated the alleged corruption. Therefore he cannot be taken seriously as the leader to clean up FIFA.
-
He missed the signs that there was a bribery problem. In which case he's incompetent.
-
He and FIFA are actually innocent and purer than the driven snow on the peaks of the Swiss Alps! In which case he doesn't need to resign, but it might be prudent to do so in order to allow the organisation to continue with a fresh face.

Yes, going, going, gone [emoji38] Ming is no longer…

I was never happy with any of the work I farmed out (track, not road). Did all my own engine and suspension work, and even changed and balanced my own tires, as I considered it tantamount to packing one's own chute. But I did let a strange factory in a foreign land build the bike. @injunjack:
shop built so called custom bikes suck big time. You either do build your chopper/bobber your self in your own garage / backyard or you don't brag about the result.
