"We have only 150 houses in a small village and really we are not big enough to be annoying," he said.Mr Boswell said he was curious about Anglian Water's claim that someone was stealing large quantities of water. "The fire brigade takes water from the same main and it has no effect," he said.An Anglian Water spokesman said the firm was staying in touch with residents while it investigated the source of the problem and would speak to them next week to discuss their concerns."Due to the intermittent nature of the supply disruptions, it is our belief that a large amount of water is being taken directly, and illegally, from our water network. This could be from a fire hydrant, for instance," he said. "We will continue to investigate this, and will take the appropriate action to ensure our customers' supply is not interrupted. This is our priority."Source http://uk.msn.com  http://www.anarchy-uk.co.uk/news.php?item.52.5 2010-09-09T14:55:03+00:00 EntraVenuS Looks like we are being delt another bad game .. heres the honest review  read it, real funnySame old Same old http://www.anarchy-uk.co.uk/news.php?item.50.6 2010-09-09T14:55:03+00:00 EntraVenuS  Prepare to head to the jungle in Battlefield Bad Company 2 VietnamThis just in from the BF Blog:On stage at the EA E3 press conference we announced a new expansion of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 with a new take on a Battlefield franchise favourite, Vietnam.

In a recent report on Tek9, Activision shared some details about the new CoD game.Black Ops is scheduled for release in November 2010 and sources indicate the game developed by Treyarch will be set in history, between World War II and present day. It is also hinted that some of the missions will take gamers to Cuba and South America which hints at a Cold War and Vietnam based game.In true Modern Warfare style, gamers will reportedly get a chance to play as a member of the Special Air Service (SAS) in which players will be involved in close combat during a mission in the Iranian embassy during the 1980’s.The game is also hinted to feature the popular “zombie mode” where players will get to gun down forces of zombies which was made popular in Call of Duty: World at War.For South African PC gamers and worldwide PC gamers alike, CoD7 is set to feature dedicated servers. Gamers across the world should put their hands together for Activision who seem to be weeding out the problems with previous titles by re-adding dedicated servers to the franchise."... With a scheduled release date of November 2010 the game is still in full development but undisclosed sources over at Activision have stated that "Call of Duty 7 will be set in recent history, between WWII and present day". Besides this information the sources have also confirmed that some missions will take us to Cuba and South America, hinting again in the direction of a Cold War / Vietnam based game.Also revealed was that in certain missions the players are able to play as a member of SAS (the Special Air Service), the principle special forces unit of the British Army. One of these SAS missions pitches you in close combat during a mission in the Iranian embassy in London during the 1980's.It has also been confirmed that Call of Duty 7: Black Ops will feature the popular zombie mode, in which players get to shoot down hordes of zombies, a feature that could not be seen in the Infinity Ward produced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.And last but not least, dedicated servers will also be part of the new Call of Duty game, much to the delight of PC gamers across the world. After Activision fired Vince Zampella and Jason West from Infinity Ward, it seems like they are taking yet another step back from the direction they had taken with Modern Warfare 2 by re-adding dedicated servers."Source http://www.mapmodnews.com http://www.anarchy-uk.co.uk/news.php?item.43.6 2010-09-09T14:55:03+00:00 EntraVenuS This just in from the BF Blog: On Wednesday 21st April Xbox 360 players can change how their soldiers look on the Battlefield with the Kit Upgrade DLC.Want some details on what the DLC includes?
