SG:A S1 on DVD, from eBay: $40
Shipping: $20
SG:A S1 DVDs getting lost in the post: priceless


New spindle of DVD+RWs: €20
New CD/DVD booklet: €15
Burning all of S1 and S2 of BSG to playable DVDs, plus so-far-availaible entirety of Heroes and BSG S3 to DVD in .avi format, along with assorted photoshopped dvd slip covers and episode lists : 1 solid 3-day weekend
Postage to UK in time for a birthday: €15
Package never arriving: priceless

Embarrassing self horribly in front of Colm Tóibín: free
