Hi Michele - welcome to the forum.

I would start by getting one or possibly two sets of rechargeable batteries (Eneloops) and a charger. I would also get a spare card.

I agree with Tony on the nutritional value - cook it then eat the box, But I suggest they were not totally without merit.

Going back to the sixties they were probably the first introduction for a lot of people. Possibly a clue that there was more out there than just fish and chips.

Whoopeeeeee!

I am on holiday!

I have next week off then 5 more working days this year. I might even get to take some pictures.

Nice Chinese tonight and some cider to wash it down.

Talking of food, I was in a chav supermarket and I saw a rare cullinary delicacy from the past.

Now these may not quite be up to Tony's standards but back in the sixties they were my first taste of (anything remotely resembling) foreign food.I remember being slightly surprised that prawns were made of cardboard. I just couldn't resist trying them again.

I'll report back on how awful they are.

I've never had a free program from them .
I thought most of them had it. It comes in the form of a leaflet with a number on. You go to a website and download the program and enter the number and they give you a serial number which unlocks the program.

Thanks Algi...yeh thats what i was thinking of doing...but i always thought sandisk were the best???
They are certainly one of the best assuming you got genuine ones. I have had 4 for about two years and no problems at all.

You didn't get them cheap off Ebay did you? There are some forgeries about.

Just borrow a few electric fan heaters TT, bugger the cost and keep warm.
They must have improved since they were on Watchdog then.

They will never enter Oggy Towers again.
