Hello guys, Well, I just bought a pair of HPM77 headphones from play.com. Surprise surprise, they were fakes - they lasted for two albums before the wiring started to mess up and they no longer worked properly. So, I was just wondering... where can I buy genuine HPM-77's online for a decent price? (i.e. < £15) Obviously there's the Sony website, but there's no way I'm paying £30 for them. Any help would be very much appreciated :) Thanks in advance :)

"I like to take a lot of photos of my dog and post them on twitter. um, i think she's really cute. Also my friends and family," says Parker.

The unknown warrior was carried from a French battlefield 90 years ago, to be laid to rest among kings and statesmen in Westminster Abbey. But how did this symbol of the sacrifice of war come to be chosen? In 1916, a Church of England clergyman serving at the Western Front in World War I spotted an inscription on an anonymous war grave which gave him an idea. That moment of inspiration would blossom into a worldwide ceremony that is still being replicated in the 21st Century - the grave of an unknown warrior, symbolising those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. The Reverend David Railton caught sight of the grave in a back garden at Armentieres in…
