Yes people, that's right. I am evidently too inept with google, too lazy and too picky to find the item I'm looking for. Find it for me and earn some karma. Easy.

I have a fancy dress party for New Year's Eve and the theme is film characters. The current winner is a Greek warrior (depicted in loads of film, obviously, the most recent being Troy). Trouble is I can't find a decent sword that matches the style but doesn't look like it cost 99p. Find me a decent looking sword/scabbard and earn a cookie Very Happy

(Feel free to hijack the thread with other requests. Or not. I'll sleep soundly either way.)

You're right, I should have stated a budget (£90 on part of a costume is a bit much!). I'm thinking strictly the realms of fancy dress fodder - not an actual sword (which I'd probably get drunk and kill the dog with anyway!). Say, £15.

Find me this.
Its a group and possibly they are Austrailian they where out about the year 2001 and they done kind of chill out lounge music. They used samples of the cartoon dectors laboratory in one of their songs and possibly their name is between a- h as I worked in a music shop years ago I know where the album was I just cant remember their name if anything else about them.

Shocked

also find me for sale the dvd dead famous(gail porter show) season 2 thats not some ridoculous price and region 2.

And find me "spooked children of the grave" region 2 .

Thumbs Up Karma

The only band I can find linked to Dexter's Laboratory are They Might Be Giants but they are American and not lounge music. Looking on the Dexter's Laboratory wiki page might give you some hints though.
