Bet you wouldn't say that to their faces

I`ve finally gotten around to playing MGS 4 and like all the games in the series is impressive.

You're not wrong there.
Yeah, sort of, not quite as keen on MGS as everyone else.

My favourite game moment ever is in the first game, though, at the point where you ask the codec operator for help and she says, "Snake, just be happy you have the free time to play games!"

I`ve been looking at the Hells Angels along with another bike gang the Outlaws, I also looked at the link that you provided about street gangs in LA, this is all really interesting stuff, I`m going to research this in work next week.

Amazingly, it came out in 1998.

Yep. Some really good ones around that time.

Cach you later, Jules x

Gated communities...

Hey, it must be lunchtime where you are. Bye x

Gated communities are always an answer but they aren`t very nice and you`ll eventually end up with some post-apocalyptic looking location (despite never having been a nuclear war) with gangs and people roaming around outside them.

I always wonder are they keeping you in or keeping others out.
I've never liked gated communities much, a false sense of security.
My SIL and her Dh moved to a very exclusive one with it's own golf course and all the trimmings, she went on and on about it being so safe for the children too, she'd just had her first baby. A year later she informs me that she won't let the kids play outside on bikes without her when they get older, turns out the man across the street was struck of the board (or whatever they do) he was a dentist who was now a convicted paedophile and had no plans on moving anywhere.
I'll stick to my rural country lane, so few cars go by all the curtains twitch when on does, everyone knows everyone and their relatives

Yes, but you`re more isolated and a better target for gangs that can lay seige to your house, hiding in bushes and cutting phone lines etc

I hate those places...giving you the bloody once-over before you can get in free country innit

You're only jealous 'cos you want to live on The Oaks

You're probably right, I come over all French Revolution when I go up there

OMG it sounds awful.
We do have a small gang problem here, centered mostly on a couple of tiny towns about 20 miles away, and also based on drugs, meth and pot. They aren't too interested in us, we have a small modest looking home there are more interesting McMansions nearer to town. We still lock our doors at night and lock the car in the driveway. Habot from living in a nasty old city.
Oh the phone lines are underground thank goodness and accessed only from the back garden (more like a field)
