That’s me finally got an iPod !

Aye, I finally got around to getting one. No idea why I left it as long as I did. I suppose it was the thought of being some sort of social leper. Plus I thought it would be good to have in Thailand and I could get one of those wee docking station thing and use it as a hi-fi sort of thing.

 Am I the only person not to have owned one for so long ?

 Anyhoo, got a refurbished one off ebay in the US for about £85 – bargain ?

Not so fast sunshine, those nice people at customs were so impressed with my iPod that they demanded I pay them £35 to have it released for delivery – bastards !

Still, it’s in great nick and I’m currently uploading all of my brothers tunes (predominantly techno) and some Terry Pratchett audio books I had on disc.

So if you want to kick it hard core or are looking for a good book at bedtime, you know where to find me…

(Apologies as this has nothing to do with scuba diving/Thailand but I wasn’t actually planning to start posting in earnest until I got there, but Yvonne wasn’t having that, oh no sir ! Look out for my forthcoming review of this fall season schedule on US TV coming later this week.)
