Saw this guy and his cool machine a few years ago. Cycled there last Saturday and he was back and I had my camera ready. Click on the photos for the video. Here’s Phils website: http://www.myspace.com/akafilm

Sharleen Spiteri – Bristol
Absolutely amazing. She is a truly professional performer. Had a good selection of her new solo hits and the good stuff from Texas. I have been waiting a long time to see her in concert and she surpassed all expectations. I had no idea she had so much energy, it even seemed to rub off to the Bristol crowd. I have never seen so many people dancing at the Colston Hall.
Wii Modchip Installation
Here’s my take of a modchip installation into a friends Wii. Modchip is on the right on the small white PCB. There are 29 wires that are soldered on the fine pitch IC.
Washing Machine Woes
Rear seal gone – bearings rusting on a 3 year old machine used by two people. Ariston Margherita 2000 ALD12S UK. Apparently that machine has had three different sets of bearings and seals. So to order spares, I have to take apart the machine and measure them. Not ideal as I would like to have the parts ready so I can do the whole lot in one go, not leave the machine apart while I wait for spares to arrive in the mail.
Whatever idiot thought that was a good idea at Merloni should be fired!!!
Washing Machine
Just before our new flat mate moved in, and just as we were going on holiday the washing machine started doing strange things. Luckily with a bit of help from the internet it was tracked down to being a coin stuck in the coin trap and blocking the drain pump. Another benefit was I got back a Stonehenge souvenir that had been nicely cleaned.
Visiting Nigel and Val
Met Nigel and Val at a car boot sale at Wotton-under-Edge near our work. Picked up a bargain, an oil painting spatula. I asked the guy how much and he said 20p, then I heard his partner say in the background, how much did you say – 50p? I felt that 20p wasn’t enough so I paid the 50p 🙂 Could have spent more, but thought at the end of the day I don’t really need it.
We then went back to their house for a cup of tea before lunch at Weighbridge Inn, had a 2in1 Turkey and Trimmings that was pretty filling. The Inn had a lot of old keys hanging from the roof, hopefully we’ll go there with Sarah when she comes over.
