I almost got an X-Box 360. Argos has it in stock on their website for home-delivery, and when I entered my address details and it confirmed it was in stock i thought great! - unfortunately after entering my card details it then said out of stock - despite it still saying in-stock on the home page. Admittedly I was going to sell it on eBay for a profit, but so do most people who get one.
So as usual the argos website is just there to temp you to buy other stuff.
On a side note, i bought a creative zen plus 1GB from argos the other day for £50 (plus free £5 voucher), and then sold it for £80 on eBay - if only they had 10 in stock in my local argos 
. It’s now gone back up to £90 on argos, so i bet they have loads in stock

Finally made it to number 10 (in google UK’s search results).
I’m actually number 1 on msn uk (or I was when I posted this anyway - and am again now (24/11/05))

I went to the V Festival at Weston Park, courtesy of the nice people at Duracell (said in a Graham Norton voice). It was great. Franz Ferdinand were the best in my opinion, especially coming out to the Doctor Who theme tune. We managed to get to the 10th row of people right near the front! Scissor Siters and surprisingly Rooster were good too.
On sunday we went to the channel 4 stage, mainly for the chemical brothers but the kaiser chiefs were good as were the doves. I hate Oasis so didn’t mind missing them. The chemical brothers were amazing, especially with all the lazer lights and tv screens, they had a very weird, but amusing, clown face on one of the videos. A quick search on flickr found 2 photos of the clown here and here.

I intend to do the same here too.
