I was working in a perfect shit hole in Canning Town last week,
demolishing a set of garages. This area is part of a regeneration
project which has been emptied of tenants and left to gangs of feral
youths who roam around looking for innocents to beat up. 

For anyone from the uk who has been following the story in the papers
this week of the father who was shot 4 times by a revolting little
thug and died in front of his wife and son in a pool of blood, well,
it's just around the corner from there.

Anyway (there's a point to all this you'll be disappointed to know),
I'm clearing all the old car engines, burnt clothes and rat shit from
one of these garages when I see a cd case buried 'neath it all.
Reaching down and retrieving it reveals it to be a brand new, never
before opened copy of Hardwar. Well you could have buggered me with a
broom handle right there and then and I wouldn't even of noticed, so
stricken I was with awe at my good fortune.

Haven't played it yet. 

That was mildly on topic wasn't it?

Incidentally, I've decided o both top and bottom post this so nobody
takes offence.
