Bought a man-bag today. Leather shoulder bag, big enough to take my tablet.

A He-Man DVD set (pictures at some point) and some fablon to stop light entering and leaving my room (yes, the idiots are involved) are both awesome. The Crow books could go either way...

Why aren't you skinflints buying anything? :lol:

My parents recently dumped Sky for Freesat. The savings paid for tem to upgrade from dialup to broadband h.

They weren't paying as much as you by a long way, but every time Sky changed things it became more expensive to get te few h channels they wanted.

I was getting the full deal - HD, sports etc. I looked at the stuff I actually watched and the vast majority of it was on channels that were available via Freeview. I was paying 60 quid a month for maybe four hours of TV. You're right about the inflation in their pricing though, I think when I actually first added all the stuff it was only £45 a month and that wasn't all that long ago.

It is not that great a deal unless you are unemployed and can actually spend all day watching it. No. I'd hate the expense, ;) For a couple out all day at work and only able to watch for a few hours a day it does become a bit of a luxury. I could understand why people get FreeSat or Freeview, as it covers the best channels for nothing.

That He-Man DVD set

(pics hastily taken on a phone)
26 DVDs IIRC, the original series, fan favourites from the not so popular sequel to it (there's also rights issues involved there), both seasons of the reboot... You also get a 'power sword' for the Classics line of figures, a soundtrack CD, bonus materials DVD and an episode guide :)

IIRC, on the US Amazon site, there's issues over one of the discs. Don't know if it's been fixed - could you please confirm when you get a chance? I'd love to have this. How much did cost in the end, including tax/import duty?

I think my old Castle Greyskull is still in my parents loft.
