Because of the extensive coverage of the American presidential election in the last couple of weeks, I’ve suddenly found myself wanting to see the complete West Wing series — of which I’ve seen the occasional season, but never the whole shebang. Subsequently, I go to Amazon.co.uk, search for “west wing”, and get this as one of the search results.

Too lazy to click on the link? Want me to tell you what it is? Okay.

It’s all seven seasons of West Wing, sold for the retarded sum of £73.97. Or, that is, when I had ordered it (I’d have to be a maniac not to, don’t you think?), I discovered, much to my pleasure, that I paid something like £64 for it. o.O

In short, my head is almost falling off from relief and glee, as my seven-seasons-of-Buffy-goodness-box cost me close to £200 or £300, and my Angel box cost something like £150.

And that, my friends, is before I’ve even started to think about how strong the NOK is in comparison to the GBP these days…
