Piers I'm relying on you to tell me when a game worth buying comes out on the Wii, as I don't really keep up with such things... I actually need to finish Metroid Prime and then to Metroid Prime 2 for the Gamecube which has been sat unplayed for ages whilst I've been doing other stuff, then I can play the new Metroid for Wii. I also need to get my Wii online, as you can get the old school Super Metroid and Mario 3!

Dunno if this has been discussed much of late (did a search but nowt came up), but does anyone have any clue when the Wii shortage might be coming to an end? I should have bought one back in October when I had the chance, but my flatmate got a PS3 about the same time so I decided to hold off until just after Xmas. Big mistake!

The only reason I haven't picked up a Wii yet is because I have neither the space or time but I have been tempted several times and always check out stock levels when I'm around those kinds of shops


Pretty sure the main HMV on Oxford St had some last week


As for the PS3 - I've had 1 and 2 and was looking forward to 3 - but NOTHING has come out for it yet. At all....

okay - cheers - I keep checking Play, Amazon, etc., regularly, but I guess I'll have to pound the old pavement.


The PS3 is alright actually - there are a few decent titles - and for me it beats the 360, though the Microsoft machine has been out for longer and has a bigger back catalogue. I think you can do more with a PS3. Mind, a Wii is what I's after the noo.

Well seeing as Santa's little helper reads the forum I've now got an xbox 360. Quite impressed with it. Took me a while to get use to the controller (I'm a PC gamer), but definitely getting the hang of it.


The capabilities of both platforms from a user stand point seem pretty similar. Once I get the latest update on the xbox it should be quite a decent media center. They'll now play DivX.

      Bike stolen outside The Belham

      By JaneKinnin · Posted

      My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.

      Anyone experiencing even greater issues securing a GP appointment with Tessa Jowell GP practice?

      Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.

      It hasn't devolved. It's in exactly the same state it was when it started.

      A&E isn't allowed to turn people away at the triage stage, even people with hiccups and ingrown toenails... the kinds of ailments a GP might be able to advise against seeking emergency care for. https://www.england.nhs.uk/2025/12/aes-under-siege-from-hiccups-and-ingrowing-toenails/
