Managed to get a hold of a guy I bought some computery bits from via eBay, who is in Swansea and was happy for me to visit in person to pick up the bits, so we stoated to get them and then off into the city centre to spend cash on frivolities!!

I grabbed the Lord of the Rings and The Rock Special Edition DVDs for 30 quid all in, thanks to a nice promo deal in Woolworths – buy LOTR on DVD and save a fiver on any other DVD or VHS purchase — nice :) My folks decided to continue their march into the 21st century, and got themselves a cheap DVD player while we were in Woolies – 70 quid for a DVD player isn’t to be sniffed at!
