World Of Julie
Julie: Don't ever buy me a hundred red roses.
Andy: *stares at Julie, trying to work out under what circumstances he might have even considered doing that*
Julie: Just give me the two hundred and fifty pounds.

Dice Wars!
A risk-like where the computer rolls the dice for you. And the armies are all dice. And you get more dice, the more territories you hold.
Actually very addictive, and nicely balanced.

In the heart of the Karakum desert of Turkmenistan the Darvaza Gas Crater or The Burning Gates give off a glow that can be seen from miles away during the dark night. The large crater is a result of a Soviet gas exploration accident in the 1950â™s. It was created when a Soviet drilling rig was drilling for natural gas fell into an underground cavern resulting in a crater which today measures roughly 60 meters in diameter and 20 meters deep. The huge crater was set alight shortly after being discovered and has been burning ever sinse. The smell of burning sulfur can be detected from a distance and becomes quite strong as you near the hot edge of the crater.

More research needed, obviously. Interesting though.

You have always wanted to her the digits of Pi sung beautifully in harmony, haven't you? Thought so.

Computer game recommendations
Julie and I have been playing Settlers IV with each other.
It's good fun, but intermittently flaky, and it's hell losing half an hour of gameplay when it goes titsup.
Anyone care to suggest an RTS we might enjoy? Julie definitely prefers building up her peoples over charging in and attacking - so games that emphasise exploration/maintenance are preferred (combat is fine, there should just be more to the game than that).
