Talk about a nightmare just before Christmas! I went to get a Nintendo DS Lite + New Super Mario Bros. from HMV, really good deal, you get the game for £5 - bargain! Only they didn't have New Super Mario Bros.!! I got them to put the console + Yoshi's Island 2 away until I could get back in - it was the last Yoshi's Island 2 in the shop!!! They did, only they didn't!!!! They put the console away but sold the game!!!!! Notice a crescendo of explaination marks!!!!!! There is a good ending to this story, I bought the console and got the deal and just have to wait for the next delivery of New Super Mario Bros. or Yoshi's Island 2!!!!!!! Talk about a nightmare just before Christmas!!!!!!!! I'm all pling'd out now.
As a sweetener, I did manage to get Zelda II on Gameboy Advance (backwardly compatible and a historical god in gaming) for £7.99 from Virgin :-)
After a lack of Wii, I now feel a little more in the Christmas spirit - I might even start thinking about other people's presents, season of goodwill an' all that ;-)
And talking about a nightmare just before Christmas, Morello & I watched Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas - the Christmas lights in the Christmas place are just the best evocation of Christmas ever...
