Good times were had by all (of our group, at least) this weekend when we went to Manchester for a night out. We ended up at Pure again but its a decent club with a good’n loud soundsystem so I didn’t mind not trying somewhere new, especially since we’d been to a load of new (to me) bars.

One thing that was annoying; trying to get a taxi outside the printworks post 4am is a nightmare, they have a marshalled taxi rank with a fairly orderly queue (which we joined), but at 4 the guys controlling it leave and it just descends into chaos. We were right at the front of the queue when they left so we just had to do what everyone else did and walk further and further up the road trying to flag a cab down. Lame.

Props to Thom for letting us stay at his house, and props to me for driving!

Cool pic, eh?

Even though I presume everyone that reads this blog is already aware of it, Decorate In Flames now have a myspace page that no longer looks lame.

Kudos to Photobox

Posted by Bone at March 25th, 2008



The best of ‘365 Days’, originally uploaded by Fanboy30.

I made an order with Photobox today (because Flickr doesn’t have a printing partner in the UK besides Moo, and they’re not really setup for photo prints), but something went wrong during the order process meaning my order went through, but I couldn’t pay for it.

I sent them an e-mail and within about an hour I got a reply, they’d cancelled the order, put all the items (with the correct sizes and croppings on the pics I blew up) back in my basket, even applied the same coupon code as I was using, so that all I had to do was go through the checkout again.

Impressive customer service, if only Flickr would partner with them so that I wouldn’t need to upload my photos to two separate services. I’m pretty tempted to try and make one of those photobooks like the picture in this post, they look pretty impressive.

Space Invader CDG

I knew that Paris was Mecca for a Space Invader mosaic spotter like me, but I hadn’t realised that I’d have been able to go and see one quite easily during my 7 hour layover at CDG airport.

Opportunity missed!

The Funniest Photo in the World Ever

I was searching through my Flickr pics for shots of me for a HYA post, and I spotted this one from New Years. I don’t think anyone came out of this with their dignity intact.
