A couple of useful links for eBay addicts; Hammersnipe, which lets you choose an item you want and will automatically bid on it for you just a few seconds before the auction ends. Saves time and effort! Then there's Typoferret which searches for items with somewhat dubious spellings. The logic being that a misspelled item equals a cheap item, as potential bidders haven't been able to find them!

Watch World Cup highlights

The BBC have a free video archive of previous World Cup football matches. Re-live 30 40 years of hurt and watch past greats like Pele, Maradona and Mark Lawrenson.

Booyah!

They've let me loose on the roads! Yep, passed my driving test on Thursday. Here's the route I took. Was given two minor faults (although I did almost run over someone just 5 minutes before the test).

The Asylum is back

This would be money down the drain well spent. Watch Big Brother live online.

Han Shot First

This tedious debate can finally end! The original Star Wars dvds are going to be released.

The BBC just can't get the staff! Watch a hilarious case of mistaken identity here.
