    Well, went out, did a little bit of shopping. Went to the self-service machines in ASDA and got rid of some of my shrapnel - TOP TIP! to whoever suggested that.

    I paid over 4 quid off in shrapnel. All of them 2p pieces. RSI just isn't in it... :eek:

    There's about 6 machines in my ASDA, it's not like I'm hogging all of them.
