Its full of wonderfull stuff, like star wars figures and old band posters etc. The chap who owns it is a bit of a wag and has posted in the front window, letters and comments from idiotic customers. funny as fuck!
I will certainly make a point of checking him out ! I love those little shops. At a similar boutique in Arundel, I once managed to get myself a pristine copy of the Black and White album (see Jem's point above) for next to nothing and a battered but cool looking cigarette box made in the States. Not that I use that anymore because I have since stopped smoking (just).

Collectables shops are just great. I wouldn't ever buy one of those old Victorian hair brushes or razors though; you don't know where they've been.

Happened upon a great little shop in Weymouth recently who specialises in vintage toys. I always find myself wandering round the Dinky and Corgi stuff in these places mumbling "had that one, got one of those in the loft somewhere, had that one, fuck me! 2 hundred quid! I had one of those and Stinky Kennet nicked it of me, bastard!"

The green Thunderbird toy is omnipresent in a lot of these boutiques. The one I bought cost me £4 but I have since seen the same model for £12. Very odd.

Went to the Corel Arena in Katana to see the Ottawa Senators vs The New Jersey Devils(Stanley cup winners the previous season) the first time I was across in Canada.

Fantastic atmosphere, very fast game. Highlight was finding out that there really is a guy that plays the "dah dah dah dah da-dah" bit on the organ.

Phil, just noticed the Sens beat the Leafs 7-2.

Have since been through to see the Edinburgh Capitals play a few times.

yep - it was grim. 7-2, a crying embarassment. As much as I can't stand ottawa the place, the team is pretty damn good.
