Calm down you lot.
So anyway HMV is going down the toilet. What was the first single you bought from there. Do you like HMV?

Its OK, the ones near me are fine
But with downloading and Amazon, I can understand its potential demise.
Skyrim was the last thing I could have bought from there. It was £42 in HMV and £22 In ASDA. Where do you think I was gonna get it?
I now remember the last thing I did buy was a David Bowie Album.

I want to buy Skyrim but living with six people I think they'd get bored of me playing it all day.
Seeing as the tele and Playstation are in the front room and Fifa is glued inside the latter. I want to move them to my room seeing as they're both fucking mine but it's too late now they've been there too long.

Its unbelievably OTT, hopefully the party won't be as crazy as to deselect him at the next election.
IMO, I'm not even sure it should be considered bad to wear the Nazi uniform if its done as a joke. I even felt for Prince Harry when he got flamed for it.
IMO Its no worse than wearing the Red Army outfit, the Soviets and Maoist China commited genocides easily as bad as the Holocaust. Some how one is considered worse than the other, to me their either neither bad or equally bad.
