| Note to self, avoid anything to do with Buble (and Ed Sheeran) at least James Blunt has had the decency to say he won't be doing anymore recording, as he's wanting to go into acting!

| Was in fancy Kirk Ella last weekend, a rather suspicious amount of Pampas Grass was noted.
Anyway, went for a bit of Sunday lunch, got to pudding time and Ms. Terrorist orders coffee and chocolate mousse with doughnuts.
I think it must have been somebodies last day in the kitchen because this is what turned up.

You'd have turned your nose up at that for school dinner, wouldn't you?

One of my chef friends commented that the addition of a few raisins as pretend flies would have added to the ensemble.

Heston Whatshisname would use some 'dry ice' to add that final touch, steam.

| Popped into Comet today to see how much a TV-DVD combo 22" would be.
I expected them to be cheaper than online seeing as it is a closing down/liquidation sale.
Comet were STILL more expensive then buying online with free delivery.
No wonder they are going to the wall if that is the price they are charging now as god knows what they were charging before.

They may be cheaper on face value but have you factored into it that you would have to have someone in or stay in yourself for the delivery which would either be a waste of a days holiday from work or you don't work and have nothing to do all day but wait in for a parcel?
I went in there on Sunday and got my Mum a new laptop. Even though there was only 10% off the value, it was still way cheaper then the same model anywhere online.
BTW Curry's are even more expensive.
Places like Comet charge the amount they do because the overheads they have compared to your internet retailer are extremely high. Comet need to pay for the sales staff, the rent on the shop, the council tax on the shop, utility bills etc. Internet retailers don't have all those overheads so they can charge less for their products. I used to work at Comet until I was made redundant in 2008 and I know for a fact that knocking 10% off all the products would not make them any money whatsoever and in some instances would mean they take a loss on a lot of products (eg iPads, games consoles etc.)

| Bit late now, but I once mentioned to one of the (few) polite salesmen that an item was a lot cheaper online. He said that the store would usually try and match it IF you asked. Then again I'm still waiting for a missing brush for a vacuum cleaner I bought 2 years ago!
What happens about guarantees on these reduced goods now?

| You have to go to the manufacturer for the guarantee.

| Just finished recording some tracks using samples from 1980's electronic machines. Speak and Spell, Big Trak, Astro Wars, that kind of thing.
Listened to them back.
Utter cack.

Has it taken you three weeks to find that out?
No.
It's taken me three weeks to find out that the last three weeks work was rubbish.
