Yeah. Don't know why, that was the plot I actually wanted.
I was going to make a high tech city when I've finised my current one. This one is like a commercial, touristy seaside city. Seemed to make sense since all the wind patterns take smoke away from it and since there's going to be a massive arcology across the way, they'll need somewhere to go on holidays. Assuming that's how it works.

It's on Origin only.

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State University .

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.

The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same fucking elephant.

This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming bullshit stories.

Well yeah but if MS were planning on launching next spring and Sony have said the PS4 will be out this xmas then thats alot of time for MS to make up, either way people would have analysed what Sony have done weather they announced before MS or after people will come out and say it was too soon or too late.

They have but now they are unsafe. There isn't a new version in the pipeline as they have been pulled from sale in the EU completely. They have something else in the pipeline though.

Just what does it take to wake the Apple lovers up?

Why?

So my point about his football career being finished anyway is kind of correct?

Coronation Street star Michael Le Vell was last night charged with child sex offences.

The 48-year-old, who plays Kevin Webster, is accused of 19 offences including raping a child, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.

The actor, who lives in Hale, Cheshire, was first arrested in September 2011 and questioned over alleged child sex offences, but the matter was later dropped.

However, late last night Greater Manchester Police said the actor - real name Michael Turner - had been charged with sex offences against a youngster.

The decision came after a review of evidence by lawyers from the Crown Prosecution Service

Alison Levitt QC, Principal Legal Advisor to the Director of Public Prosecutions said: "I have very carefully reviewed the evidence in this case and I have concluded that there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to charge Michael Robert Turner with a number of sexual offences.

“I have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mr Turner with nineteen offences, including rape of a child."

A spokeswoman from GMP said: "A man has been charged with 19 child sex offences.

"Michael Turner has been charged with 19 offences including raping a child, indecently assaulting a child and sexual activity with a child.

"The charges, which were authorised by the CPS following a review of evidence, relate to offences against a child between 2001 and 2010."

Le Vell joined the soap in 1983 and quickly endeared himself to fans who have followed the trials and tribulations of Kevin.

His character has had a stormy marriage to Sally, played by Sally Dynevor, fathering two teenage girls as well as a love child from his affair with Molly Dobbs.

Le Vell is due to appear at Manchester magistrates' court on February 27.
