Buy your cheap CDs and DVDs - and donate to Oxfam at the same time!

Here's a candidate for IDEA OF THE CENTURY: everybody wants cheap CDs, games and DVDs, and everybody also wants to help lift millions out of poverty. So, in an ingenious 'let's put these two things together and see what happens' type solution, clever business types at Oxfam and Blah! (one of the cheapest online stores in the UK - see pic) have come up with this: every time you buy something from Blah!, they will contribute 10p to Oxfam's efforts to alleviate poverty and suffering around the world. And, if you think of all the DVDs and CDs that people will snap up as Xmas pressies in the next few months, that's a serious amount of money. So - if you're doing your Xmas shopping this year, or even just your weekly CD shop - have a look at Blah! It's the cleverest thing ever. And it's dead cheap, too.

Great idea, lets hope people support it and they raise loads of cash for Oxfam
