Compensation received by the Watford 6

The computer gaming community has been shaken by the news that some of its champion gamesters are suffering from Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder.

This syndrome, more commonly suffered by real soldiers having participated in real wars has now been appropriated by Wayne, Kevin, Trev and Bri - to name but 4.

All four (known as the Watford 6) have been granted Legal Aid to pursue a suit against Nintendo.

Spokesman for the Watford 6, Kevin Dribble says "We is bringin dis action cos our brief says go for it innit"?

"I n my m8s ave spent our yoof saving the planet and winning Mortal Kombat an like that" Kevin, who is the intellectual of the group continues.

"We reckon its arder to get to level 9 of Action D Day than if we wos really there. An if you think livin the dream in Grand Theft Auto is cushty - then think again boy!"

When asked to describe his symptoms, Kevin Dribble said he finds it very difficult to get out of bed in the morning, must stay up until 5am to complete his gaming duties, cannot hold down a job, is frequently at risk of consuming alcohol, tobacco and skag and is deffo not as bright as he was last year.

It is expected that the Watford 6 will receive extensive compensation and that the case will open the floodgates for a backlog of other sufferers of syndromes such as thieving, skiving, Scousism and vandalism to be compensated with taxpayers money.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
