Argos is offering customers a free ride home in a supercar to celebrate the release of 'Forza Horizon 4'.

On launch day on October 2, customers who have pre-ordered the title which will be brought out exclusively on Xbox One with the store will have the chance to be driven around London in one of six luxury vehicles also available in game.

To ensure everyone has a fair chance to secure a supercar ride, bookings will be released in waves. For those that were not able to book a ride in advance, there will be some availability on the day.

James Cooke, Video Games Buying Manager at Argos, said: "We wanted to celebrate the launch of the Xbox One exclusive 'Forza Horizon 4' in a way our customers would appreciate and remember.

"'Forza' has been one of our most popular gaming franchises since its launch and bringing the game to life by offering the ultimate super-car taxi service was the perfect way to reward our loyal customers.

"We anticipate 'Forza Horizon' 4 to be a highly popular launch this year for both casual and hard-core gamers."

A huge package of marijuana has washed up on a Florida beach.

An eyewitness reported the large plastic-wrapped package which contained 23 smaller ones earlier this week, and local police were sent to investigate the incident.

Explaining that Hurricane Florence could have been the cause, beach safety patrol captain Tammy Malphurs said that plenty of objects end up being washed up during such extreme weather on the coast.

He told WKMG-TV: "Typically it happens when we have a large surf and winds on shore.

"Sometimes, we have a lot of things wash up on shore. We haven't had a lot of things, but this is the first thing so far."

A space observatory has been evacuated and placed on lockdown by the FBI, sparking claims of alien life from conspiracy theorists.

No explanation has been given for the events at the National Solar Observatory in Sunspot, New Mexico, which has been described as a "precautionary measure" by the Association for Universities for Research in Astronomy.

Otero County Sheriff Benny House told the Daily News that his officers were placed on "standby" by the FBI.

He added: "For the FBI to get involved that quick and be so secretive about it, there was a lot of stuff going on up there.

"There was a Blackhawk helicopter, a bunch of people around antennas and work crews on towers, but nobody would tell us anything."

A Serbian man is just one short of collecting every currency in the world.

Zoran Milosevic has spent 36 years working on his quest of showing "how small the world is because you can lock it [all the currencies] in a box of 1.5 m2 [11 square feet]".

The man who has relied on the generosity of holidaying family and friends, and occasionally ordering online has collected the currencies of 194 countries so far, including some no longer in use. Now, he is just missing the Solomon Islands dollar to complete his collection.

Tracking it down would "prove what can be done by human perseverance," he said.
