Life's Not Some Slot Machine In An Arcade With A Sign That Flashes Up Saying 'i'm Sorry, You Have Been Killed. Would You Like Another Go?' But We Might Get Put Through The Same Test Each Time, Get Faced With The Same Situations Until We've Learned How To Cope.

What Brighton's Got Is A Major Sea Port On Either Side, Good For Importing Drugs, Great For Exporting Cash, Stolen Cars, Stolen Antiques. It's Got The Largest Number Of Antique Shops In The Uk, So It's A Great Place To Fence Stolen Goods.

So All These Escape Routes... Which Is What Villains Like.
