It's what JB and Super Tom use. I think it's close to the backward system that is used for the RTP programmer job.

I completed the single player game in 2 short sittings - It's waaaayyyyy too short.

Just ploughing through the Special Ops missions now before going on line with it.

Good game on the whole.

Would appear as though a Desert Eagle takes a chicken's head off if you shoot from around 3 feet away.

It's more bloody.

Just spent 20 mins shooting caged chickens in a Brazilian market  ;D

Been playing it tonight - Excellent game!! Found it to be more addictive than the last Modern Warfare - More varied game play too.

What does anyone else think?

Forgot about Ghost Ship! Great film. Remember having a chinese with you in Porthcawl whilst watching it. Didn't the bit where they eat maggots co-incide with us eating rice?  ;D

Oh, and Forza is amazing too! Bought it Today  ;)

This was really sad news, but I think his last meal summed him up...

Partridge, shrimps and oysters washed down with a bottle of fine champagne :)

Top guy!

Be good to get your opinion on it Benny  :)

Looks like I'm in the market for a new desktop too. Mine is beginning to show it's age now and running even 2 or 3 apps together is causing me all sorts of trouble!

I was in a meeting with our IT manager today and he has got one of these:

He reckons it's amazing, and every online review I can find also scores it highly.

Pretty good price too. I'm thinking of getting one for my daily commute.

Ummmmm nothing that can't be fixed by drinking milk  ;)

Sorry for the late post, but hope you had a great day.  :)

Think Nick's major concern at the moment is making sure the operation doesn't clash with another appointment he has got during the first week of January  ;)

Merry Christmas all of you. Hope you all have a great time and that 2009 brings you all good luck and happiness.

And here's hoping that you haven't got a little brother who likes to sabotage your Christmas Day by getting you a gift that could cause you physical harm.

Shocky isn't that lucky!  ;)

As soon as people like play.com started destroying the shop bought cd / dvd market, the writing was pretty much on the wall for them. They became a brand that had no real identity. Sure they sold a huge range of products, but there was nothing you would say they specialised in. Even their pick & mix was bettered by Wilkinsons.

I'll be sad to see them go, but it just goes to show that brands have to evolve to stay in touch with the world.

As for the gigantic financial mess the world is in, that is purely down to nobody wanting to impose any form of policing on those robbing swines in charge of banks etc. For years the finance industry has been supervised by regulators with little or no power to prevent people gambling with huge amounts of cash. This coupled with the greed of the brokers etc means that it was a case of "anything goes" and forget the consequences.

However, one of the girls in the office Yesterday remarked "There is no such thing as a credit crunch - You should have seen the queues in Boots". Looks like everyone has got it wrong eh!!  ;)
