Hurrah, yet another version of Mario Kart.

... I'm a bit cynical about Nintendo machines, in all the years the Wii has been around, it's only seemed to manage about 3 games I'd ever want to play.

Be interesting if they do ban cars from London during the Olympics though. Though I imagine they will be praying for rain instead.

London is already threatened with unlimited fines from the EU, too: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/jun/25/london-air-pollution-europe.

"A contrary position comes from Professor Ronald Hutton, who needs no introduction"

That dude is a god among men, he has single handedly straightened out most of the mess the folk revivals did to the indigenous history of these islands.
you could do a lot worse then picking up either 'Stations of the Sun' (concerning the traditional festivals of the archipelago) or 'Druids' (concerning... actually, ill let you work that one out) for a no nonsence, cleenley reserched expose on 'this sort of thing'

im aware that as a reasoned thiest in the 21rst century im 'arming the enemy', but frankly, id rather grease the good professor's pockets. Good scholarship trumps ideological warfare and all that.
