Here’s a cool and fun idea to celebrate Valentines Day. Post your Valentines Day messages on CantBarsed.com and they’ll automatically enter you into their free competition for a chance to win the Nookii board game for loving couples sponsored by Prezzybox.

This is the 4th year the Valentines day competition has been run during which time there have been several marriage proposals, hundreds of heartfelt messages of love and more than a few office wind-ups! Do read through the editors comments which tease and try to figure out some of the more cryptic messages and acroymns.

Enter your Valentines day message here and, after editorial review, it will appear with all the other 2009 Valentines Day messages. On entry you can optionally add the email address of the target of your affections and CantBarsed.com will send them an anonymous email stating someone has posted a Valentines day message for them so there’s a great chance Cupid’s arrow will hit the target.

It’s a great idea and a great site, one of the original online shopping portals packed with bargains, promotional codes, free competitions and Valentines day gift ideas.

I’ve always been a non-smoker and anything which helps people give up smoking has to be a good thing right?

Well, I’m not so sure about these new fangled Gamucci electronic cigarettes, which are the latest craze to sweep pubs and clubs across the UK.

They’re simply nicotine inhalers but they’re so realistic with water vapour smoke that you can blow smoke rings with and a convincing glowing tip that when sucked on lights up just like the real thing it’s going to cause a lot of confusion and arguments about where they can be used.

There’s a good chance we’re going to end up being surrounded with people puffing on these at work, in pubs and clubs, on public transport and for no good reason I can think off I don’t want that to happen!

Maybe it’s because it took so long to get cigarettes out of the workplace and public indoor places and maybe I’m just being selfish - I can’t put my finger on exactly what my objection really is.

On the plus side it will definitely help some people give up smoking and it doesn’t look silly like other nicotine inhalers but it’s still a drug dosing device only for sale to over 18’s. It’s an interesting dilemna, thoughts anyone?…

With only a few days to go until Christmas and not much time left for that last minute Christmas shopping what’s one to do?

The Nintendo Wii has been selling like hot-cakes but the problem many shoppers are facing is finding the Nintendo Wii in stock! Actually this hasn’t come as a surprise, as this is one of the hottest searched for products this year; as is the Wii Fit game, whose stock levels have been depleted at most online and High Street retailers.

We’ve spoken to many retailers in conjunction with this boom in games console sales and they’re all saying similar, “We’re expecting stock yesterday!… You can buy it on a first come - first served basis…”

Luckily for readers of the Darvader UK Shop Offers Blog we have two helpful resources for you, to help you find the Nintendo Wii and the Wii Fit game in stock at the best possible prices.

• Compare Nintendo Wii Prices at CantBarsed.com. Compare prices from more than a dozen of the most popular online retailers; giving you stock availability, unit costs and postage/delivery charges.

• Who’s Got The Wii Fit In Stock at DiscountShoppingUK.co.uk. A basic listing on which stores have the Wii Fit game in stock; probably the game of the year they’ve found it in-stock (as of writing) at at-least 4 online stores.

So if you’re looking for one of the hottest games consoles around check out these two websites and Happy Gaming!
