Hey Odin...

I was just thinking how slow this place seems to have gotten lately. Are people already kicking off their summer?

Hi all,

Kristian, do you still play "LA Noire" or you abandoned it?

How do you like it after some time?

Still disappointed?

I've abandoned it, Leo. It's very unfortunate, but there simply isn't enough in it. Waste of money (for me, at least).

I'm thinking about it. I found $60 in my wallet yesterday which is a nice bonus

Maybe when T's copy has arrived and he's had a chance to let us know what he thinks.

Talking about holidays ... just recieved this from a colleague of mine;

quote:

They walk amongst us and breed..........and vote

From Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guests' complaints during the season.

1. "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

2. "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned

3. "On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that almost every restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

4. "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring our swimming costumes and towels."

5. A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a water hole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate".

6. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

7. "The beach was too sandy."

8. "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the sand as yellow but it was white."

9. A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

10. "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday was ruined as my husband spent all day looking at other women."

11. "We bought' Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (�3.50) from a street trader, only to find out they were fake."

12. "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."

13. "There was no egg slicer in the apartment..."

14. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish..."

15. "The roads were uneven.."

16. "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the Americans three hours to get home."

17. "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends' three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."

18. "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"

19. "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish, the food is Spanish. Too many foreigners.."

20. "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning."

21.. "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests before we travel."

22. "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."

23. "My fianc� and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room that we booked."

I just took the Danish Citizenship Test, which all immigrants must pass in order to become citizens in this country. 40 questions, of which 32 must be answered correctly, within a 45-minute time limit.

I got 38 right, within less than 10 minutes. I'm so Danish, I am!

You don't have to, you could live in France. Or Denmark.

It certainly looks interesting. Got this for Crimbo, would love to give it a whirl. Had a shot at Fear God and Dread Nought recently, that was fun.

And just more reasons I won't go on package holidays. In Rome airport i remember a lasy saying "MAR MA LADE" (with the pauses) to a hapless Italian waiter. With Mrs P being American she gets equally embarrassed by her compatriots.
