    Question Police convoys

    My commute this morning was once more rudely interrupted by a police convoy. The convoy consisted of two unmarked, brown, presumably armour-plated vans flanked by two police cars in front and a further two behind, plus some motorbike outriders.

  8. What are you playing right now?

    ...maybe not right this second but what's in your games system at the minute and what has been in it recently? Thought it might be a good way to talk about/get opinions on a few games that wouldn't otherwise get their own thread. I'm playing Aliens vs Predator on the PS3. I'd heard some...
