-Some sort of sawdust-covered cardboard with snotty water in the middle of it, which was obviously made solely of salt. It claimed to be 'Tesco Chicken Kiev'. But hey, it cost 1.20.

-A bag of 'fish cakes'. They were slightly nicer, but appeared to consist primarily of salt. Only 99c though.

-A bar of 'milk chocolate', or as I call it 'chilled poo'. But 45c, who's complaining.. And actually, free.. Because I 'forgot' to scan it.

-Six packets of Hubba Bubba. To get me through 'til Wednesday, when my life will improve greatly. About 2 Euro.

iRiver T60 mp3 player. Bundled with interesting surprise (for me, fresh to portable mp3) - DOES NOT PLAY TRACKS GAPLESS.

This is just stupid.

I don't think theres one MP3 player that DOES play Gapless. Only one I seen are iPods, which I prefer over all Mp3 players

I have an older generation iPod, it's about a year old now, and it isn't gapless. This makes me sad, because it makes listening to concept albums or albums with linked songs (like Dev's) not as smooth and tasty. Plus, the battery that it has equipped is the type that loses it's total amount of battery power the more it is used. I used to be able to listen for probably about 10 hours, but now it's more like 7 to 8, if I stretch it.

I guess you can update its firmware. iRiver shits all over this topic so far, as far as I know.

Fiat Bravo 1999, 1.6 litre engine, 124000 km on it. In mint condition. It was a bargain at 3700 euros.

WOOHOO! I finally get to paint my old Toyota green and drive it to a lake (well, not really).

And YES, I know that there are just as many FIAT haters as there are lovers :)

And on the lighter side of things:

Ziltoid (Special Edition)
Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest (Special edition)
Oblivion for XBOX 360 (nothing special about that edition)

There are more haters than lovers I'd think :P
Still, if you're happy with it, congrats on your purchase :)


And don't get me started on iPods :lol:
There probably aren't many MP3 players that are gapless. My 20GB Archos GMini XS202S is almost gapless, I'm happy with it :D

Now that's dumbest flaw in hi-tech equipment since Sun Enterprise servers shutting down after plugging off keyboard.

Ok, enough bitching. One of my more useful recent purchases is "Beginning to shell scripting" book by by Eric Foster-Johnson and Other-Blokes. Very helpful.

Thanks. It's the best car that I've driven. And I know of all the FIAT pitfalls (like the electrics), but I'm prepared for everything. As long as it's serviced on regular basis, there shouldn't be any problems. My car doesn't have a history of any major malfunctions (yes, I'm aware of those happy Fiat owners whose gearboxes break down before the 100kkm mark.

One big thing is that the car won't rot away in the finnish winter the same way as my Toyota did. It was just patches on patches, so to speak.
