I've just realised where you could've gone over a couple of days... Sunderland.
bear with me, as it would only involve ambling along to a comic shop to pick up Bryan Talbot's tour-de-force headfuck of a graphic novel "Alice In Sunderland".
I'd avoid flicking through it, as otherwise you'll think (correctly) that this is at least as densely plotted as stray toasters, and while the art's cool and all, it's a bit of a slog.
ah... then again, you could read the above and think "aces. saved myself a minute in Borders"
You could bump into her at Morrisons, or just call her up...
That's exactly what I want my Wii for, is short burst gaming. My favourite games have included things like PGR2, Ikaruga, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart, Advance Wars: all things that can be picked up and played.
For the Wii, I've got Mario Soccer (good fun) and I'm going to get Trauma Centre next.
