Heh, sounds like a great time Sols (yes, that's right, I couldn't be bothered to check back for the definite spelling of your name ;-p).
Writing into NGC? I'm thinking I might write the "Paul's Sense Talk" as I have a few relatively funny pieces that could go in.

Heh. It's alright for some eh? Glad you had a good time.
You bring back cigarette for me???
Pool paradise.. I had a look at it, I was tempted, but I have a rubbish pot black table in my room at home - even though the cloth is full of holes and the surface is bowed and slanted, I figure it's still a better use of my pool energies than a vijo game.

Oh, and I went to the REAL Universal Studios over, where Spanish people seem to LOVE Woody Woodpecker... Anyway, I could see people over there (like with the crap 'Cube game) don't enjoy picking up litter as a jobe too much either, when one guy randomly asks "You have cigarette for me???" when I don't even smoke... ;D
Of course, I'll be writing into NGC, as I'm sure they'll be interested to know the similarities. The rides were brilliant though - especially the 'Dragon Kahn' rollercoaster, which is the best in Europe for... something! I only wish I'd bought some souvenir mugs and keyrings back with me... :'(
Tip for Mumbai Duck: If you're looking for a new GameCube game, at less than £20, you certainly cannot go wrong with Pool Paradise.

Ah, just got back from my week-away in Spain yesterday - bloody good, well-deserved holiday, and I'm missing it already! :( ;)
I got home yesterday, and the weather wasn't too bad. Quite nice for England, infact. But, wake up today, and it's so bloody cold - and it's raining! :( It chucked it down on Sunday, and we even had rain on our first day there, but at least it was still warm! :P
It wasn't even a 2-hour flight, yet I feel so tired from it this time, even when I've been fine flying to Cypurs/Tenerife and back...?
Maybe it was because I had to drive home aswell?
That was fun - only my second time on a motorway. Overtaking all-sorts on the M4 with only a 'rough guide' as to finding my way home... Going over 90mph coming down the M5.... I thought I'd best slow down a bit then, as my escort's steering wheel was starting to shake and shudder! :S
Spanish drivers are terrible - especially bus drivers and other drivers around buses - but, when doing 84mph I was over-taken by a white van-driver, I knew I was back in England! ;D
A bit of advice: Next time you go abroad, and you're looking to exchange money, NEVER do it at an airport, unless it's an ABSOLUTE emergency! I only had £25 to pay the £44 Long Stay parking bill I had in Cardiff for 7 days, so I had to go back in and change some up. I handed over €40, "just to be safe", yet I only recieved about £24.36 back!! :o
Absolutely disgusting! And that didn't even include any 'charge' I thought they might have added for using the service!
ALWAYS check-out your local Post Office's first - mine had an exchange rate of 1.4 Euros to every Pound Sterling. Very nice, indeed.
I could go on-and-on about what a great holiday it was for all 11 of us, and all the things we did and wanted to do, but I think I'll end it here.

My tv only runs a black and white ntsc signal, and I never got round to buying a pal converter. Until I do, the Q's really only good for European games with a freeloader and r2 pal dvds.
I don't think Duck has an Xbox.
Oh, and Duck, I seem to remember you saying that you had a Q, meaning you could play US games, yar? If so, importing the Cube version of Wario Ware might be a good bet, as its not overly expensive (cheaper than it'll be when it comes out here I expect) and is already out. I hear only good things about it.

Your looking for NFSU?
I have an Xbox copy (Got it free from GAME as compensation) if you want it.

Good call. If you haven't got Wario Ware for your GBA I urge you to give it a hunt, it really is the best GBA game by a long way (in my opinion).

1 WEEK 'TIL 6 WEEKS HOLIDAY!!!!!!!!!!
WAHHHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I've had a good lie-in, my first on a week day for what feels like ages.
Then I played some PSO(ffline). Not a very good game, as the controls are clumsy and combat lacks opportunity for skill and dexterity.
But I wanted to give it a spin before I try to flog it on ebay.
