He doesn't specify whether he means it in the sense of 1/20 of a ream of paper, or an archaic variation of 'choir', so you're probably good with either (though just to be on the safe side you might want to give each chorister a couple of dozen sheets of A4...)
He's dropped the price to 1,500GBP now, and said that it's been sold outside of Ebay. He also says that he can't cancel the auction, so please don't bid and please don't call him!
Well there are piles and piles of the things here in the shops in Vienna. 250 EUR a throw and, apart from the plug, identical to the uk model. Unfortunately I only have space to ship one back and its spoken for (at cost, more fool me!).

Hacked? #
Posted Thursday 22nd November 2007 15:37 GMT
According to the auction, it has DVD playback. By default this isn't a feature on the Wii, yet...
So, has it been hacked or is the seller just being a numpty?
Also, just to get it in, what does Paris Hilton have to say on the matter?

There's a phone number in the listing. Anyone phoned it yet?
And congratulations for shoe-horning a Denise Richards reference in there. We need more of those, please. And pictures. Yes.

Gotta love whoever came up with the name for that console.
Beyond that the kids got balls, and decent spelling, I think old Bill should throw some money his way.
He can tell melinda he just bought some wiiiiii for her.

He's obviously read some of the comments and had enough of the piss taking. He's now dropped the price to a more reasonable £500.000.00 :/
