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?

Grix you are very lucky!

It's a shame theres no place arount here that sells GBA imported! I can't wait for mine!

I heard Chu Chu Rocket is a good import choice as it has the option for English Laungague. So really, it will be just like the PAL version.

Yes Grix, you are lucky!

How are you finding your GBA then? As good as you thought it would be?

Maybe you should start dreaming about making sweet love with lovely women, see if that comes true :D

Yeah, A and B are in Japanese Sniper, bloody hard to understand...

(They're not actually. And the writing on the back is in English too. Odd.)
