Smile Planet Earth @hmv Uk 17.99

Heads up to anybody still holding out for this. It's the full 5 disc uk set This truly a fantastic set I'm not really one for nature docs but I was just checking the discs at random and just got sucked in.

(quidco will bring it down even more PS the price is in uk pounds keyboards config to US so can't do pound signs.

ALSO i have I voucher code valid until
22/05 only a pound but it all helps first PM gets it

When you add it to the cart, a different picture shows up. Might just be a screwup.

Holding down the "ALT" key while typing 0163 = £
Alt + 0128 = €


Thanks for the HMV tip!

Knew there was a way to do that, just couldn't remember what keys to use. There are a bunch of other symbols that can be accessed via ALT+number keys too, but can't remember those either.

EDIT: Here is a list of them, http://www.starr.net/is/type/altnum.htm

BTW I only bring it up cause so few people even know about them. My favorite is the "º" (degrees symbol I guess).

Knew there had to be a list somewhere. I found out about them by using MS Word, Insert Symbol - you can just click a symbol to insert into Word, but it also lists the ALT + # code; I just keep a short cheat sheet handy. ALT 0162 is another handy one: ¢

Default Nice

Thanks Blaster for the post.

Nice prices, particularly if you're in the UK. I've not seen Galapagos but apparently it's visually better than Planet Earth, but not as interesting.

At these prices I'm happy to blind buy both Galapagos and 20K. Looks like the BBC are copying what Universal has done and offer their stocks at cost to the retailers.

Nice find.
