More useless items in the mail.

Getting addictive this blogging, I have had no replies but its strangely addictive as to sit down again this evening and post some more.
Today I finally got of my backside and went to the gym. Well I am paying them £35 a month (and havent been for three weeks). Its not a bad gym and its close to my house, but after a day at work there is always something better to be doing, last couple of weeks was the olympics but I have now ran out of excuses (Ann Robinson doesnt have the same draw as Sue Barker), and anyway the gym has tv's on the machines.
I recieved a what I thought was going to be a useful tool in the post today a sports armband for the Ipod / iPhone, so I was looking forward to strapping my iphone to the arm and listening to my own tunes rather than the gym's over bassed techno music.
There was a little bit of artistic licence on the packaging of the strap, my Ipod fitted lovely but the iPhone no way!
Once I had managed to get it squeezed into the pouch, the hole for the headphones was on the wrong side. Send it back I hear you say, well good idea but on the packet you have to tell them within 48 hours of reciept in writing and there is no return address, (it was bought through Play.com but dont think they provided it).
Story of my life useless items dropping through my letterbox, will have to get eBay going again.
Anyway a little jog to the gym and a small workout worked wonders and now as I write this I dont feel so bad sitting on the sofa watching the Football.
Great bit of football last night in the Coventry / Newcastle game after the referee decided 2 minutes of added time, then played nearly 4 allowing Coventry to take a really long throw in and score. I always like to see Kevin Keegan getting annoyed, pity they won after all anyway.
