I've done a lot of things in Grand Theft Auto games over the years. I've run over lines of Hare Krishna monks, taken compromising pictures of politicians, parachuted off a casino roof, stolen a jump jet from a battleship and a jet pack from a military base, but the mission I've just completed tops them all in my list.
Three words - Three Leaf Clover.
An audacious bank heist that goes badly wrong and ends up in a running battle through the streets with automatic weapons, exploding cars, helicopter gun ships, swat teams and an escape through the subway tunnels like a cross between Heat and Reservoir Dogs, and an absolutely stonking payoff at the end of it. Superb stuff.
In other GTA news, I am dating two girls I met on the internet (although 'Colonel Cuddles' gave me the brush off), I've been to see Ricky Gervais in a comedy club, I've visited Satriale's Pork Store which should be well known to fans of The Sopranos and picked up a new camera phone to play with.
I finally got my Wii Fit age down to 39, which is over 3 years below my real age. I also managed 70 jackknife sit ups, ten minutes of super advance rhythm boxing, a quick lap jogging round the island and a perfect downhill slalom run in 58 seconds. Hoo-rah!
Oh yes, and I also enjoyed Doctor Who last night, mainly because I recall reading 'Death in the Clouds' when I was young and being disappointed that it didn't feature a giant killer wasp. I suspect that the script writer picked up the same edition of the book that I did, and felt much the same way ...

Thirty nine is just slightly less than three years below my age. (My birthday is next Friday the 23rd, and I'm really not saying that because I expect a haiku or anything.)
I can't wait till Wii Fit is released here!
I wonder if Ricky Gervais shows up in the GTA released here. I'll have to ask Helly.
The killer wasp thing made me laugh even though I really have no idea what you're referring to.
They released a series of Agatha Christie novels with rather lurid covers - the one I'm referring to is Death in the Clouds. The story is a rather convoluted Hercules Poirot story which doesn't involve giant wasps in any way ...
That's a nice example of "rather lurid." I can see being disappointed not to find giant killer wasps in the actual story - ideally attacking airplanes, or maybe people on them.
