    I've still got a copy of Act of War: Direct Action which I haven't loaded. I'm afraid I'm a real FM geek; would happily waste my entire life pretending to be Jose Mourinho
    Oh yes, it's pretty hardcore stuff. I had to force myself to stop playing it before I ended up a withered corpse slumped in front of my laptop. As to Act of War: Direct Action...

    "...this real-time strategy experience puts you squarely in control of counterterrorist forces to defend cities of the world. It's the first look at tomorrow's war. No place is safe!"

    Sounds like Chico's idea of a cracking game! Where do I sign up?

      Fuxley are awful. It is funny when they forget they are supposed to be pretending to have a job for you.

      "Well Mr Fuxley, can you get me an interview?"

      "What for?"

      "The contract on Jobserve that I originally phoned up about."

      "Oh, er, leave it with me."

        Once when I told them to ring back in an hour as I was due a telephone interview by a client within 5 mins - they kept ringing back every few minutes to stop the client getting through. Had to tell'em to Fux off

          Don't forget to get an 0871 number to give out to those persistent agencies.

                  Graham Sutherland

                  The artist? I thought he was dead.
                  His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...
