Wii In Stock UK Checker now US too!

As folk are still struggling to find them, I've extended the Wii in stock notification service for our American friends as well as UK residents so check it out to find a Wii for sale! They're still pretty rare but my email list has still got fewer than 100 subscribers so hurry to be near the top of the email list.

From the feedback I've received 4 people got hold of one when Amazon had them for sale yesterday morning so well done!

YouTube's Super Bowl commercials

It's famous for its adverts as much as anything else, so this year the best Super Bowl commercials are also being done YouTube style. I'll be sound asleep I expect, being here in UK, but at least I now have the option of checking them out on Monday morning.

Are you paying too much council tax?

I hope some people make some money from this, or rather get some back. We, in the borough of Kingston pay the most council tax in the country so I feel extra obliged to point you to this page, which explains how your house could very well be in the wrong council tax banding. If so, you could claim back overpayments from as far back as the early 1990s!

This is going to be a big story when it goes on TV tomorrow so check out the website (and those it lists itself) before it gets too much traffic!

Six Nations rugby practice

Here are some online rugby games for you to play with to get you in the mood for the upcoming 6 Nations tournament.

Bereavement fares

A tip that hopefully you'll never have to use - if you have had a death in the family and need to fly to the funeral, some commercial airlines offer bereavement fares that are around half the price of a full price ticket. Not all offer this though as they would argue that cheap airline tickets are something they already offer, but I'm glad that businesses are sensitive to this sort of thing. A copy of the death certificate apparently is all they need.
