*Is envious you saw the DW exhibition in Blackpool*

(Too bloody right about Amazon being the way to go though !)

I saw the Blackpool one but didn't venture in... We already had tickets booked fert Museum of Science and Industry, and it were supposed to be the UK's biggest, so we went there instead
*insert big grin here*

But Amazon have annoyed me fert first time in their lives. They took ten pound off me to deliver my gear before 1pm today, and what a surprise, nothing. It's the postal strike, they say. So why did they charge me for a service that they already knew they couldn't provide?

Not impressed. Big Time.

But hey, me sister secretly already bought me a screwdriver, so it's not all bad.... Even though I ordered the screwdriver for one of my students back in Hong Kong...! (I get to keep this one though! Result!)

Ooh Sonic !! Which one are you getting ?

That's really bad of Amazon - they should be ashamed of themselves...

I've got the one that has the light and sound, LOL!!

I shall have words with Amazon - but everything did arrive safely this morning. Only 22 hours late....

Yep - the Manchester sky line is changing every time I go in (and that's about once a month!!!!!!) It's amazing isn't it? How long is it since you were last in Manchester?

Glad everything is going well. And it's not rained every day for you!

Er... last time I were here... er... A looooooooong time ago! Put it this way, Boddington's were still made in Manchester and the Metrolink were a fantasy....

We were really jammy wi the weather, alright! We got three days of uninterrupted sunshine! How fab is that!
