It may look prettier on a surface level, but you need to see the brass instrument and big pit in the background for the cover to work I think.

I'm surprised they can even afford air conditioning! They must have sold a hell of a lot of half price chocolate.

also i've only just read about this WH Smith thing. I don't think i've ever been in those shops apart from the over-priced airport ones. I really don't need that vinyl in my life do I? but i think i'll have to buy it..

Well I can't play vinyl. Have no turntable, if the magazine is also sold separately I'm in business, if not, it'll be the only unplayed thing I own.

@Cristina - thanks for tips but it probably involves credit cards and I'm still a student with no job = no income = no credit card.

it sucks
In Italy we have prepaid credit cards (or debit cards) and you can buy them at your local post office and put cash on them to buy stuff online or spend it in the shops. I thought you had some cards like this in Poland

nope, in this case we're still in Middle Ages. just a standard debit card where you can take cash from cash point and normal credit cards. I don't know of other inventions.

Deets, it's weird that students in Poland don't get credit cards. I needed to wait until my last year of my degree to get one (with a very small limit). Now the credit card companies hit up the 18 year olds. Granted, you still get the small (probably $500) limit. Some people I know do get one card they use only for online purchases or some disposable type card. Maybe you can check with your bank to see if there are any options for you.

of course they get. but they have to have income on the credit card and money I get is barely nothing so such thing is useless for me. mom pays for bigger things like flat. so cc would be a kind of extravaganza for me because only used for international transfers twice a year. and I still have paypal that is helpful with ebay.

I don't own a turntable either, but the ad says £13, if I'm not mistaken, and I can afford spending £13 for something I'll never listen to well, at least not in the forseeable future, given my lack of job.

Deets, it's still strange that with people still being scared of ecommerce transactions, that a dummy card can't be used for buying things online. Perhaps one day Poland will come out of the cold....

I wish the USA would give me a credit card, grrr.
