'Ellen McArthur has failed in her bid to win the round-the-world yacht race. She was beaten guy a guy from Thailand on a deckchair'.

Thankyou for that.

Every website I go on has a plethora of RJ-45 cables, and no matter what I do I can't find the price of the one I truly need (15m). Where can I find what I need?
