Majod: Indeed. Epic film, although the "new" (original) version is a bit convoluted.
Cheers for t'pics Luke, Polyphony do make some strange choices don't they...
All ready for GT5... 
Bonus points if you can guess the film!
Laptop just out of shot on the bed, but this is my desk so it still counts.

Can you make a quite narrow mountain road on that Mt. Azo scenery?
Again, no experience here. I know someone who's doing a paramedic course at uni though 
Do you get to drive things with blue flashing lights?
And also, you're far braver than me. Most respect to you, sir.

Any other UK'ers here a bit miffed that the SE is being held back by ParcelFarce when the standard games got delivered today? 
Love a bit of the old urbex, cheers for the video.
That's exactly what I don't understand, surely shops will get more customers in the evening instead of during the day, as there's not really many people around to shop on a weekday.
My job was babysitting the self checkouts
We had the world's worst attempted shoplifter on a regular basis, a lady who would scan most of her stuff but just leave the things she wanted to steal in her trolley. Every week. And every week I'd be like, "Have you scanned that? No? Well here's how you do it...". She didn't learn, surprisingly.But seriously, the meat stealing thing doesn't work anymore because it's tagged mostly. And most self checkouts have security people around now too. Sorry
Completely untrue in my experience, the Polish customers were always courteous and friendly. Much nicer than the stuck up Chelsea Tractor drivers we used to get.
Back on topic: I live in a fairly large town but our nearest city (Chelmsford) also has these silly closing times. And it's interesting the UK seems to have shorter opening hours than the US/EU stores... But yeah, a lot of it is me expecting too much...!
I did for 4 years at a supermarket
Shops open weekends but then it's busy and crappy, so late evening opening or 24 hours (like supermarkets) seems achieveable.Shops suck! (Or is it me?)
Bit of a random topic to chew over on a Friday night but thought I'd put it out there.
Is it me or do brick and mortar shops/establishments suck?
Town centre shops close at 5:
Most people get out of work at 5, WTF?
Banks don't open Saturdays:
When the **** am I meant to go if I work weekdays and they're closed evenings??
Big box stores either sell overpriced toss or stuff you don't want:
Recent example of price stupidity: bought a "bullet cam" type thing off eBay new for £12, Maplin sell it for £50-£100 depending on model. Surely there's a middle ground which will still provide the stores a profit?
Availability problems: I want a Playseat/Visionracer kind of accessory for my PS3 but all the retail stores sell is fold-up crap for £80+ (if Argos had Playseats on sale for their RRP, I'd happily buy one...), I want a rollover bar for my MX5 but the parts stores only sell "style bars"...
Is the problem with me wanting things that aren't readily available, has my perception of value been altered by Amazon etc, have Tesco taught me to expect 24 hour opening, or are the traditional stores just sorely behind the times?

I wouldn't disagree with that.
Of course not. But you should be allowed to slap him about a bit if necessary to defend yourself or your family if you feel threatened.
It's probably contentious to say so, but we need this in the UK. As it stands, if someone breaks in and you kick their arse, odds are it's you going down not them if someone can argue your response wasn't "proportional".
24 hours of Spa? Hmm. If there's night racing at Brands Hatch, I'll buy it (Britcar Into The Night was awesome last weekend!)
Apparently there's a big surprise coming soon in tekken90's GTP topic...
Is it me or is that Laguna track basically the GT4 one but with higher res textures? The crappy tiling and low poly track details seem to be there... What have they been doing for the last 5 years??
(Still have a Sig. Edition on order though...)
MalwareBytes anti malware or something helped me get rid of a tricky virus once.
Wow, so the box shot was real? ****ing awful choice of text to put on it.
Going back to the 2nd pic of the racing TVR in CoolColJ's pics, is that tyre deforming?
It's more "baby McLaren F1" from the side to me. You'd still have one though I bet
When I first saw it, I thought "that has to be a test car" as no owner would let it get that dusty and dirty after spending £100,000 on it
Or more likely because Sony doesn't want their top studio making games for other consoles...
