  • Dont believe the hype

    It only seems like a week ago (oh wait, it was) when everyone was darting about sorting things out in time for christmas – and now it is all over. I did have a brill christmas day, from start to finish – but i still think the whle occasion is way over hyped.

    This year has been a bit of a strange one due to the liquidity crisis. Everyone was selling things cheap, sale signs in every single shop window. It meant people who ended up buying last minute got all the bargains, and everyone who bought early ended up paying through the odds.

    I dont buy things for friends, and i only buy things for my close family – and only items that they ask for. I dont see the point in exchanging cheap tat between friends – meeting up for a drink or something is much more of a gift than something picked up on impulse when in tesco.

    Its not that i dont appreciate gifts, i do, but i appreciate spending time with loved ones a whole lot more.

    Anyway, christmas done – birthday next! Then new year!

    Happy Holidays people!

  • I want a camera phone again!

    It sucks.

    Ive had a good quality camera phone, and been in the habit of unloading pics and uploading them to my picture site for years. Almost 6 years in fact.

    Fairly recently my Nokia N73 camera phone has stopped working, and as i have had it for so long i cant get used to using my Nokia 6301. It takes OK pics when its bright daylight but if there is a shadow or its dark your screwed.

    Ive looked at other phones, i have looked at the Nokia N96, the Nokia N82 and the Nokia 6220 Classic. Im swaying more towards the 6220 classic as its not going for daft prices on eBay.

    My iPhone 3g dream has been shattered, but im not bothered. Ive weighed it up in my head, and now i dont work in a factory there is hardly any need for me to get a MP3 focused phone. I just want a good camera, and the nokia interface im so used to.

    I have to wait till after xmas though 🙁

    I might see if i can fix my N73 before i go on holiday, hmmm 🙂

  • Bargain bagged, and moving forward

    Well, since my last blog post i have managed to bag a BARGAIN on ebay! I have won a unused, 2g iphone for £174!

    I know its NOT a 3g one – but i really could not find one for £200 or under that wasn’t broken or something. Anyway, after weighing up the difference between a iphone 2g and a iphone 3g, i decided to opt for the 2g one for now – and if i find im being held up by its lack of 3g-ness then ill upgrade after xmas (when there are lots of unwanted xmas prezzies on eBay 😉 )

    I’m still waiting for it to be delivered, but i already have the apps, games and hacks bookmarked on my PC!

    In other news i am in my final week of slave-labor at the box, i should get a lot of money through for my last week or so, and hopefully ill have enough money to put another £400 in the bank, and have enough left over to spend a bit on the car.

    4 more shifts to go!

    THANK FUDGE!
