Just to change the subject quickly, on Ebay currently,
I see someone is selling all of their Sam stuff,
including 91 games and the machine (currently £16).
I have to add that it's not mine!
Curiously, whoever is selling it labeled the Sam a
"Games Console". Not heard it called that before. ;-)

I got as far as the train-station, where I was told that because I hadn't
booked my ticket 5 days previously (should've been £32), it would cost me
nearer 60 quid to get to Norwich! I really wanted to go, but not at those

journeys available and discovered it took an absolutely inordinate
