  Wii-eally Expensive The new Nintendo Wii is out and despite the daft name it looks very very smart.
Even though I've not owned a console since my Sega Megadrive, I think I'll pick one up in January or February.

People seem to be paying big big prices to get one before christmas though.

  Snowball It's that time of year again.
Yes, it's time to throw virtual snowballs at virtual weedgie tenements.

Make sure your speakers are on and you're not near anyone who is offended by bad language.

  End of the road 95,000 miles and my car is at the end of it's journey. My miracle mechanic couldn't get it through another MOT and so it's going to the scrappies today.


Considering it's just a machine I'm pretty gutted to be honest, dunno why but I guess most people have an affinity with their cars that they don't have with any other machine.

Lets face it, it's a 12 year old Ford Escort, battered & rusting with a drivers window that doesn't work.

But it's been dependable, reliable and was bought for a song. I've had it for almost 4 years, driven it the equivalent of a lap and a half of the globe and if you average out the purchase cost it's only cost me 3p per mile.

It's so tragically uncool that it has came out the other side and is cool.

So it has one day of it's MOT left, the scrappie shuts in 2 1/2 hours so I'm off for a last drive.
I'll drop it off and then have to WALK back up the road.
In the rain.
Bah.


But I'm not going to get another motor just yet. We'll see if my Wife and I can manage out in the sticks with one car.

Should prove interesting...  ¶ 10:12 AM 3 comments
