Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

I'd have though they got a disgusting amount for it. It was a timber/logging company I believe.

Lucky bastards.

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

And now it's completely broken.

So the horrible name of WIi was invented by someone else first? Odd.

Actually the other use of Wii before Nintendo was and abbreviation for something: Wildlife Institute of India. I have doubts that Nintendo named the console Wii because of that meaning..

Stands to reason that they would want it. Bet they paid a pretty penny for it. But i guess they dont want the site to be used fo porn or something . parents wouldnt like nintendo then.
