Re: Chocolate XBox

["S. Stratton" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Like you say its only another 30 quid.

TBH I was just getting a jump start on my summer project, Xbox in Car. I
would have like to save 30 notes (who wouldn't). SWMBO was a lot easier to
convince @70 +chocs than 130 +invertor +modchip
(while I am here how much power does a wireless access point pull?)

I just have to go out and buy her decent chocs now.

I still think that they should have had more stock though and been quicker
at removing the advert off the site, I still think it will come back and
bite them in the ass.
