For the past week, my step-father's grandson has been staying with us, in London to see the sights and in Cambridge to...do something else. It has been quite a good week, the little man in question is a nice little man, and there is something else. Something that has annoyed me. That is the fact that I have spent money, and therefore can't buy a games console.
I have been nagged about the fact that my trusty PS1 is not the most up-to-date piece of technology for quite some time, but having had a PSP with GTA Vice City in it to hand for most of the week, I want one. And I don't trust ebayers that much with anything above around £20.
There is only one down-side to playing with this PSP. I have injured myself. By playing to much, I have managed to get RSI in my right thumb. What a pathetic ailment that is. I am quite ashamed, to be honest. The time has come for me to take heed of my medical advice to anyone and everyone: amputate. Posts might take longer in the future.
Update: apparently, this isn't that uncommon. RSI in children is up 35% in the UK, with some children having to go to hospital. With that, I don't think I have to chop my hand off. Hooray!

I had RSI so bad when I was young both my hands are permanently messed up :)
Bernie, you're a massive hypochondriace.
Andy, everyone has that problem with the PSP - the damned analog nub is positioned with almost strategic precision so as to cause maximum discomfort in minimum time.
Oh, and the PSP isn't actually that great besides a handful of decent games. Keep saving and get a 360. Seriously.
Actually, it was my right thumb and the 'x' button.
And the PSP has the advantage of portability, which is very handy.
