   Oh dear, Eddie. I can feel the productivity of the nation decreasing as I type. Isn't it amazing how addictive a simple game can be?

   Thanks Eddie, another excuse to avoid working. Lets not tell Alistair Darling about it though, he needs to concentrate at the moment.

   I would claim it was my score - but I won't. Ritchie, our production planner has achieved 874.

   The nation will be starved of pizzas for one day - you have been warned

   Almost as much fun as this.......

   And I'm learning to fly a (very basic) indoor model helicopter.

    Phew... Thank goodness your "Post" Eddie, clears up that "little" problem..!

    Y'see, someone'd told me Eddie, that they'd seen you playing, in the office, with your "Little Chopper" and comparing your "performance" with the Editor's...

    And, I thought... well, I thought...

    You are VERY NAUGHTY, Eric, and I hope that the PM office will soon install a Naughty Step.

    Closely modelled on the Today proggie's Naughtie Step, nae doot. (Anyone see last night's TV thingie on it? The prog, not the step)

    Big Sis, I dived straight in (several times. Crash!) and got mashed up a lot before I realised where this could lead (see above for proof!). So I may read the instructions.

    Or I might resist.

    Har, har

    Ho hum, so you've discovered Copter...

    Only about 5 years after most schoolchildren - it's one of those flash games that crop up everywhere, leading to a constant game of cat-and-mouse between the pupils (finding the games) and the teachers/technicians (adding the URLs to their filter list). Sixth formers were particularly fond of this one...

    AFAIK, the two most common at the moment are:
    The Adrenaline Challenge (trust me, the title's ironic)
    Line Rider

    Both the originals, and various modified versions.

    Eddie,

    502 ,OH GOD is this an omen. It's much better with the real things, they make a much louder bang when they crash.

    P.S. Stewart's right. It seems impossible to get less than 19. ;-)

    mittfh @ 26, it is very very unkind ever to point out to media folk that they are trumpeting as 'new' something many other people have known about for years.

    In the same way one shouldn't say 'I told you so' when they notice the security of huge databases, or rather the lack of it. Let's just be glad that they *do* finally catch up, eh?
