    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!!

    Diving is very much like making love to a beautiful woman,first you do some checks of the site for favorable conditions,then you go down for as long as you can,and if part of your buddy brief you maybe able touch the bottom,then you start to make your way to the end you come up breathless smiling and your cylinders empty.

    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"

    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.
