Capitalism...
Just trying to source a Nintendo DS for my kids, normal retail is £100 but everywhere is sold out. Had a look on Ebay and the 'Buy now' prices are all £150 + £15 (or more).

There is one bloke who has 10 for sale, nice little earner. Git. I suppose I am only jealous...

Looks like the kids will be getting their DS' in the spring as I am certainly not going to pay that premium.

Bread and pull it for the kids this Christmas morning!!

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

I can't believe you wont get the DS for the kids with all the money you get doing your job! sorry I'll rephrase that "turning up at your private country club"

Tight git

PS I'll flog you one for £150

There was an earlier one too, I was living in Surrey at the time that would be between '89 through to '93...

This year on Blue Peter; How to make your own Nintendo DS out of a mobile phone, a smartie tube, a couple of egg boxes and, of course, sticky backed plastic.

1992



Thunderbirds
The series has become a cult British institution, popular with both children and adults. Part of its appeal is that it is not particularly child centric –indeed it features no children as main characters, and was intended as prime time entertainment for the whole family. Famously, in 1992, a re-run on the BBC led to a shortage of Tracy Island models in the run-up to Christmas, prompting children's programme Blue Peter to come to the rescue by demonstrating how to build a home-made version.
