Buy sword
Wait for sword to arrive
Walk into mp3 shop.
Show cashier sword
Ask for mp3 player
Walk out of shop with both sword and mp3 player.
Enjoy jail cell where you can use neither.


Though at £2.20 for the sword you can probably afford both :)

Do you have an MP3 player currently? If so, I'd go for the sword.

Ya know, any sword costing less then 300 euro's/200 pounds would be useless in anything like fighting.

Buy an MP3 CD player. 700MB=11 hours onto one CD, easy navigating if you get a RioVolt thingy, and very easy to expand memory.

I don't think most people buy swords for practical purposes...........

Sword!
Although I'd prefer a Katana. ;)

Guess what, I already own a mp3 player. :)

Pff, everyone has a Katana these days.

And for the most part, they're all made in Korea :p

My dad has a few *real* Wakisashis, and Katanas... locked up in his safe. Investments really, one is from the 1600's, the other is older.
