Suit and tie != comfort for myself.

Hell, I get uncomfortable in a golf shirt and slacks. Give me a mechanics' jumpsuit or racing suit and I'll likely be happy. :)

For a brief period it was "fashion" to wear racing boots by the toffs in London. You have no idea how out of place a gentleman wearing a 3 piece suit, and bright red Sparco race boots (with the trouser legs tucked into the boots) looks until you see one.

I think it was after the F1 cars drove through London. That was a mjor PITA - something like 12million people turned up to see them, in a space big enough for 2million. :|

I'd just like to follow up on this and say I have finally gotten around to learning some python, and I must say I really like it. I'm only up to strings so far (haven't even gotten to function definitions, but I must admit, I peeked ahead :twisted: ), but I really like the syntax. It will take some getting used to (no curly braces 8O ) but I think I'm really going to enjoy the language.

On a side note, I read by somebody in this thread (too lazy to look back) that the gaming industry has a special interest in Python developers. Is that true? If so, how come?

Since this thread is so far off topic I will steer it even further off course with cars driving through cities. Have you seen the Ferrari through Paris video?

Of course it doesn't match he classic Bullit chase because a hug is just not as good as explosions:
