Is this It (again)
.
Still on the search for the ultimate PMP (Portable Media Player) and I have found this..... with bonus points

It's called the Blufin by a company called Tinnos, Specs as follows

• Windows Mobile 5 Operating System
• 30Gb Hard Drive
• SD Card Slot
• 4.3" Screen
• Multiple Codec Support (WMV, DivX, MP3, WMA) - This is the big one
• USB 2.0
• 2MP Camera

The good thing about this is that it also acts as a PDA, however the bad point is that it states there is no phone built in this may be an error, and if it is an error, Put me down for one

PS3 = £425 - Are Sony taking the piss



UK Prices have just been announce for the Playstation 3.

So thats US$ 500, €425 or £425 - Something does not eqate here.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a Playstation boy through and through and wouldn't even consider defecting, but the massive difference in price will surely get a few people wondering.

With the rumours also surrounding the different versions of PS3, the lesser (cheapest) model lacking Wi-Fi, Memory Card reader and most importantly, a HDMI input, also having a smaller 20Gb Hard drive, which may not be upgradable. Just how much do they plan on ripping us off with charging for the top spec model.

I know the PS3 will have a Blu-Ray player as standard but can this justify the difference in cost to the 360 (top spec model is £280).

I wonder, will we all rush out and buy one....

... Probably

Beat Box .

I've always been fascinated by Human Beatboxx, ever since the good old days of Doug E Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew back in the 80s, to the modern day equivalent Rahzel, I think they are all absolutely amazing.

Then.... I saw this guy (Yuri Lane), who uses a Harmonica while beatboxing check the results for yourself!

Test your IQ
Did my 3 monthly checking of my hotmail emails earlier, among the crap, spam and invitations for free everything, I got a link from my cousin Daniel for an online IQ Test at tickle.com

I got 129 which seems not too bad judging by this site although I missed out te next level by 1 point - Damn

Have a go...

Getting there

I posted a while ago about my bad state of health and that I am going to try to get "fit", it took me a while but I am now going at the gym 4 - 6 times a week, I have managed to lose a bit of weight, although am losing "inches" rather than weight, I am feeling loads better, my blood pressure has gone back to normal and my cholesterol is at 4.8 although this is still classed as moderate risk, (4.7 becomes a low risk - Damn)

I have now even got my ass back on my bike after a year, I rode for 7 miles today which, although made me feeel I was going to either be sick or have a heart attack, also made me feel great - Before you say it Cookie , I know 7 miles isn't that much, but it's a start eh. I aim to go out on my bike 3 times a week and build up to riding to work a couple of days a week (12 miles each way.

I burn roughly 500 - 1000 calories on each session at the gym, and am taking approximately 1500 - 2000 calories a day through food/drink etc, with these calculations I aim to lose 2lb a week - I have 5 more weeks before I go on holiday.... fingers crossed.

Poor Jim


As Blogged yesterday, Jim has pulled a sicky called in sick, he states he has fractured his arm and cracked a rib or 3.

We are all concerned work colleagues and wish him a speedy recovery (so we can laugh when he falls over again), we have also decided we are going to be caring and call him.....

So... What to call him, his name requires a change (again),
PM Jim, Naked Jim - Time for a change !

Suggestions so far include;

Anti Weeble Jim - (Weebles Wobble but they don't fall down)
Jim "McDonalds" - "He fell over"

suggestions please?

Naked Jim Takes a Tumble ...Again

I remember the first time I went drinking with PM Jim, he decided on an early night, blaming the mixing of alcohol, only to call us (Bossman Dave and I), with what I remeber as

"Fallen... Blood.... Everywhere." - I managed to get my First aid practise that night, and Jim managed to get 13 stitches in his arm,

His version - "Slipt on the bathroom floor and sliced his arm on the toilet roll holder"
The Truth - "had his head down the toilet - shouting Ralf, got up and slipped on said ralf, sliced his arm on a toilet roll holder"

He was right about the blood everywhere though, it looked like a scene from Psycho.

The second time I went out with Jim, he fell off a pub chair in Bristol, after having a shoulder massage. (Nothing dodgy I promise) - Excuse "He was so relaxed"

The third time, I didn't go out with Jim, it was the works christmas party, I won't say much except this is how he got the name "Naked Jim".

Now this is something else, there was no alcohol involved, he has not had a massage, in fact it was a usual day at work and apparently was challenged to a running race with a colleague Ash.

Ill leave the rest to the video, but its definately 2 minutes of your life....

Thanks to Ian "Longman Ronnie" Barker from Rennuff for the video, the commentary and challenging me to convert the .3gp to a video format "Everyone can see" (and making me blog it).

*Spelt correctly as Rennuff.
