Bacon bandages

Was blown away by the Bacon Bandages at Archie McPhees weird store.

A whole range of novelty items which are totally useless except to make you go 'aah, that's cool'. Being Scottish, particularly liked the Angry Scotsman Chewing Gum

Cars - autoblog.com!

Who doesn't like cars? Hunks of metal which eat cash. Almost the reverse of an ATM.

Found this Blog/website so being a blogger myself, thought I'd check it out.

Nice interesting articles that you would normally have to buy bucks for if in a magazine - Autoblog

Oooh-ya, that hurt!

Found a website all about mishaps, falls and painful stuff Break.com - apparently they are offering $100,000 for any footage of Tom Cruise's new baby too, lol.

Gay hating Fred Phelps even gets a spot

Bollocks - my DVD player broke

My trusty Panasonic DVD player broke after 4 years of faithful use. Prob.time to get one - no problem - but trying getting a DVD player that plays all DVD regions - not so simple.

Asda and Tesco didn't have any. I tried Dixons for a DVD player but they're all region 2 dvd player.

Onwards to the Internet (why didn't I start there first?!?!)...after a quick search I found Codefreedvd.com - DVD player that plays all DVD movies. To be honest there were a few of these companies on the net but Codefreedvd.com seemed to have a better service, namely their lifetime guarantee on playback of DVD movies. Yup, it appears anyway, they are offering a lifetime warranty on their dvd player, guaranteeing it'll play Euro discs or Jap discs or US discs for the lifetime of the machine. After much swithering, I opted for the Code-free 200 DVD player Reasonable price at around 90 quid / $149 and plays everything from Mp3 to DVD. I will be chuffed went it arrives, stay tuneds for my review.
