Ugh, I've had enough of trains for a month now.... Left the girlfriends house at 2230, got to the station at 2240, to see my train leaving!!! It doesn't depart for another 5 minutes dammit!! So, a phone call to the mother is needed...and lots of pleading.... I hate trains...

I just finished having a quick bash on Gran Turismo PSP. Don't ask me how I got it.  It's an utter dissapointment. Everything that was good about GT has gone. No tuning now, which sucks epically. No more putting 80k's worth of turbo kit on to a Toyota Camry for a laugh.  The game has these "Driving Challenges", which are basically like license tests. These are the bulk of the game, but got through all 7 tests in about half an hour. What really sucks though is that you have to wait for certain days for cars to come in stock. For example, if its Sunday in the game, you can only buy either Nissans, Fords, Dodges and Toyotas for example. If you want a Mitsubishi, you have to wait until that dealership becomes available. Not to mention no career mode sucks, and the driving missions are either insanely hard or insanely easy. And the graphics are kinda Sega GT-era-ish. I am really dissapointed. I have been waiting for this game since I first heard about it (Back in 2006 IIRC), and now I've played it, it's not worth bothering with.

The gamer show on Bravo/other 2nd rate channels gave it 5 out of 10.... although gutsy I agree it's accurate given no career mode and the ass gameplay decisions (don't even need to play it to rate it that low)

That's the average age of the victims as well isn't it.

thehut.co.uk have let me down  First time I've used them too. I ordered Crysis last week and upto this morning the order was showing as 'processing'. I called them up and the girl on the phone said it was being dispatched today. She wanted to double check though so popped me on hold. A couple of minutes later she came back to me and said they've had problems getting the game from suppliers. She then said she'd chase up the supplier at 9 o'clock and call me back. Still no game Still no call And why couldnt they have informed me of the delay rather than make me chase it.

If you don't know, you're better off not knowing.

Firstly I'd be concerned with sources of income, and working out when you'll be able to replace any funds you have to access for these short-term issues. Why's your ISA been suspended?

no idea, Ive always hated bank of scotland staff as Ive had to make few complaints to them for being so "off" etc but its to be expected due to where I live  I never once used the online banking and ive had it for over a year now so maybe thats why, its ignorant of BOS though to just suspend me with no warning, bumholes. its my new pride and joy no way
