A Good TOCA
 

Exclusive preview for LCC readers - my next comedy t-shirt will look a little something like this:

Why would you not want this on a shirt?

Find out more here. It's from a webcomic called Goats, whose praises I sing on Dayorama from time to time. If you look around the store you'll realise it's the source of a good number of the t-shirts I can be seen in now and again.

This is why I've always been a little worried about driving. I really don't want this to happen to me, but it just feels so painfully inevitable whenever I'm sat behind a steering wheel...

I bought TOCA 3 for the Playstation 2 today. It was a spur of the moment thing as I was walking through High Wycombe to the train station. It's been a very long time since I had a decent motor racing game (which is what TOCA is, for the uninitiated), and now I can happily reveal the wait for such a game has ended, because TOCA is top class. There's plenty of different forms of car to take on, from tiny Renault Clios bombing round corners to classic F1 cars, and it's exceptionally easy to just pick up the controller and start thrashing your way around Silverstone. I only hope it gets harder as I go along, as I'm sure it will, and who knows? Maybe, in the distant future, I'll get to the final two levels of play where you can take a Williams F1 model (as in vehicle, not pit girl) out for a spin. They even chose my favourite F1 team. Big thumbs up for TOCA, then.

And there's me getting into the spirit of reviewing stuff, because my work for the Daily Telegraph's Weekend section is back on. I may not have mentioned this previously, but I'm now doing some research for one of the Telegraph's writers for a column to appear on Saturday 25 March (I think), and probable future columns after that. I will of course let you know if my work makes it into the paper. One or two people know what the topic is - I warn you it's nothing too exciting and mysterious, but it is a little out of the ordinary given the topics you might reasonably expect me to write about. Put it this way, it involves stuff I won't have mentioned on here before. So it's definitely not the Telegraph's well-known weekly comedy t-shirt round-up.
