Yeah, I spun it out when I had one of those calls. It's interesting listening to them spin it out. I even got the manager on the line at one point.

Yes there are a number of videos on Youtube of that game, I can see the arcades loving that Discs of Tron game. Though Fleet Commander as a arcade multiplayer game would be very popular.

I've just fulfilled my wedding present to a mate of mine at work. He didn't believe I smoke a pipe and asked me to bring it in and smoke a pipe in the smoking shelter at work so he could see. Three of us have just gone down to get coffee and I smoked him a pipe while we were chatting :lol:

Very Expensive Car Crash

Image

Quote:
But what started as a parade of high-priced horsepower turned into an impromptu game of demolition derby - when a hapless blonde scraped her £250,000 Bentley Azure down the side of a £75,000 Mercedes S Class.
What followed in the Monte Carlo's Place du Casino was every insurance company's nightmare.

Her 2.7 tonne beast then crashed into a £140,000 black Ferrari F430, before going head on into an £80,000 Porsche 911 and a £140,000 Aston Martin Rapide.
The driver, and her two passengers, then had the humiliation of watching hundreds of tourists circle the scene as they were unable to open the doors of the British-built convertible.

In that part of the world, a bigger story would be that a Toyota Corolla had a faint crunch with a Vauxhall Vectra, a Honda Civic and a Ford Fiesta.
I'd imagine this is more or less what their day-to-day car accidents look like. ;)

Ruud Poot, editor of European motoring website Autogespot, said: 'You probably couldn't find a worse place in the world to crash your car than outside Monaco's Place du Casino in the middle of the summer.'

A staggering £685,000 worth of cars were shunted in a matter of minutes - enough to make the Top Gear boys wince in pain and criticise who caused the incident.

But with recent research suggesting women drivers are more likely to be involved in an accident, they could be forgiven for adhering to the stereotypical view.

Scientists at the University of Michihan looked at 6.5million car crashes and found a higher than expected number of accidents between two female drivers.

They also discovered that women have a tough time negotiating crossroads, T-junctions and slip roads.

Well since she was going relatively slowly I guess that the bill could have been a lot worse. Though a two tonne car is never going to be minor damage when it hits something.
