As regards the cricket, well 91 wickets in 18 test matches for Steyn says it all. Simply awesome, although his over-the-top celebration antics were exactly that.

@ Jojo,
The new wavey-pattern disc brakes for those Tokico calipers for the TL arrived from The Far East today. Good ol' eBay; paid a third of what they cost new locally.

Had to also get a new battery for the mrs's Olympus camera. 29.99 for a 1090 mAh battery from local camera chain store Jessops seemed like a rip-off. 5.28 (which included postage) for a brand new 1400 mAh one off eBay seemed a lot more palatable...

God bless online selling indeed! I buy rechargeable batteries via Bidorbuy from a stockbroker in Jhb. He buys and sells as a hobby, and seems to have some incredible connections because i've never paid anything close to what the stores charge.
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious.

That's for sure, boet.
Groceries and other basic living consumables aside, it's been a while since I've bought myself something in a conventional shop; and saved a helluva lot in the process as well.

Hasn't been the best start to the weekend; the car's head gasket went for a loop.Managed to crawl to the grease monkeys. And a bill of a good few hundred 's looks likely, after skimming the cylinder head, gaskets, labour, oil, coolant etc etc...

lYa nee, poefie happens, as we know. Oh well, fortunately it didn't happen during peak hour traffic etc. Just inconvenient that it happened shortly after Christmas, but we'll survive. The P1i also got its 1st small mark yesterday after it landed on the floor. Annoying, as I try to be super-careful with all my phones...

@ Gucci,
Yup, but life goes on hey. It'll also teach me to invest in a Krusell leather case for the phone, which kept the P900 so pristine for a good few years.
Should have the car back before the end of the week, so we'll be using the tube trains to work until then.

@ Jojo,
Nice ZX7R pic. LOL, there's no way I'm riding to work on any of the bikes. In SA I used to, but not here.

@pop - Well, that's your BIKE mate . . . in all of it's Kermit-the-Frog glory-color !

Btw, are you using a cae for your P1i mate I think the IEC-20 will fit into it I just ordered one at amazon.com (relatives in the USA).


IEC-20:

Another P1i pic:
When we dropped off the car at the garage earlier this evening, the police were escorting English Premiership Football team, Fulham, down High Street South in East Ham to the A13 motorway, after they lost 2-1 to West Ham today :

@pop - Nice disc ! Did it cost you much to have that delivered at your doorsteps I mean the thing looks kinda - heavy The last of the SURVIVING - P900 on the side


I saw the Krusell case mate . . . did NOT like the way it looks but I guess that's cheap for it's price I have my original IEC-20 leather case bought in the US just for US$ 9.50 + handling fee = US$ 15.95, and when I looked for it at my end, it cost TWICE that price so I let my Aunt buy it for me last November 2007 will arrive tomorrow though !
