Went to Swansea today. Wasn't really looking for anything in particular... just happy to get out and about really, been head under with work recently.

Games shops were obviously the first port of call, Black & White looked tempting in EB, but perhaps I would buy it later.

Nearly bought the new Stereophonics album, and nearly bought the Spagetti Western trilogy on DVD as well.

With a few things on my mind to buy, I headed off for a lovely little games shop, which can be quite expensive, but you can get some really good deals in there too.

In I went... and went to look for the price of Black and White, to see if it was any cheaper. Not much. I had a voucher for EB as well, so it would be cheaper in there.

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something in the corner of the shop.

The Gameboy section.

A Gameboy Advance. On a shelf.

Imported from Japan.

For sale.

I've been quite worried recently, because a lot of my dreams seem very real. The other day I woke up convinced that we were living in London.

The price of the Gameboy Advance was £100. I had that much.

They had F-Zero for sale as well.

Hang on.

I'm standing in a shop in Swansea, the same one that I accidently stole a processor from all those years back, some regulars may remember, and I have a Gameboy Advance in my hands.

Seconds later, it's in my pocket.

How lucky, is that?

I quickly wrote a message after that... explained I didn't steal it, thought it might give the impression. :D

The processor, however, is another story. Read below.

When you said that you were the luckiest sod alive, I thought that it was about your 8th..., no 9th?

I've lost count over how many times you've won gameaday...

This is the best damn day in a long time... :D

The third amazing thing is in progress... and involves a LARGE stroke of luck, that enables me to get back at someone who's been annoying me. :D
