“As an interior designer and science fiction fan I have always wanted to break with traditional interior design and try something a little more exciting and challenging,” reveals the vendor at www.cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2397756436

England fans who are a teensy weensy bit miffed about their side’s exit from Euro 2004 can indulge in some spleen-venting at the Swiss man with the whistle’s official www.ursmeier.ch/referee website.
