    I just won an auction on eBay for a replacement amplifier, a <a
    href="http://www.cambridge-audio.co.uk/products/a500.htm">Cambridge Audio
    A500</a>. Somebody tried to outbid me just as the auction closed (2 seconds
    before to be exact), but this has happened to me in the past (a month ago
    for the same amp), so 30 seconds before the auction closed I upped my bid
    too, safe in the knowledge that if nobody tried to sneak in I wouldn't pay
    more, but if someone did I'd probably bounce past their bit.

  <p>
    It worked as the <a
    href="http://cgi6.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewBids&item=3051630585">bidding
    history</a> shows, and I should be getting the amp Monday. So, anyone want a
    good condition NAD pre-amp and a slightly broken NAD power amp? The power
    amp should be trivial to fix if you know how to.

    In other news I'm feeling slightly dizzy whilst sitting down, and have a
    horrible feeling I'm about to start developing the 'orrible viral infection
    Vicky is just getting over... or maybe its the <a

    people around me</a> on the way to work.
