Monty's Gaming and Wireless Outlook - Issue 150

It is a timely reminder in the week that the film Wedding Crashers is released, how absolutley insane women are as they prepare for their special day. Earlier this week, police were called to a wedding dress shop in Gillingham, Kent as brides-to-be stormed the shop after misplaced rumours the store was to close down. These nuptial banshees staged a sit-down protest and others grabbed the nearest dress before legging it up the aisle, er I mean, road.

The image of frenzied future brides usually summons up tawdry images of hen parties at a seaside town, but this particular fury was whipped up by the message board of Confetti.co.uk where panicking brides realised their big day might be ruined and mobilised themselves accordingly. Now that’s what I call a flash mob - and not a mobile phone in sight.

As somebody who was married on the day England beat Germany 5-1 in a World Cup Qualifier (consequently it was a day I’ll never forget!), I know how important it is to get the big day right, but looting? I thought that only happened when developing countries were forced to go to the International Monetary Fund.

Finally this week in what has been a unsurprisingly quiet seven days, the backlash against Jamba’s Crazy Frog continues. Not only are regulators cracking down on Jamba’s alleged business practices, but somebody has finally come up with a web-based game where visitors can wield a baseball bat to bash seven shades of sh*t out of the little b**tard.

Which is probably what will happen to me once my wife reads the previous gag about our wedding day.
