whoop whoop

Well the Vivitar works but that's the last time I buy anything from Savastore who took a lifetime to replace a faulty unit. Taking the opportunity to relax in the sun in Worthing, nursing a chesty cough :-(

I would go to the swimming pool but it's packed and creaking at the edges. We were supposed to have a new pool over a year ago but the building and proposals are being stalled by the Councillors. They are desperate to build a swimming pool in the Teville Gate site rather than at the Sports Centre whatever the cost and I wonder if they realy care about the Town or are trying to leave a legacy to their control or other reasons??

Oh and they are dead against the cycle path on the seafront so Worthing will become the great cycle lane gap. Our Councillors care more about bringing cars into the town to spend money and pay parking fees that actually make it a pleasant place to visit. I live in the town centre and I can assure you it is going downhill.

Today I got back my infamous Vivitar media player and looking forward to trying it tonight to see why it took 2 weeks for Savastore to send me a replacement.

Yesterday I shouted at a driver as he drove through West Worthing shops. He was driving his silver Peugeout Hatch with his wifey next to him and little johnney on the back seat whilst jabbering on the phone (one of those lame clam shell ones). I pointed and shouted "with a kid in the back and still on the bloody phone!" and generally weaved in front of him. Within a few seconds he hung up although I figure it had more to do with his call ending than giving a shit about the safety of his partner and kid. Shame on mum though for letting him do it. I dispair at the ignorance of people sometimes.

Things did get better however, as I bimbled up though Ferring a little old lady in an even older car pulled out in front of me and tried to run me over. I breaked and as she drove on she waved and smiled at me. How nice and pleasant dangerous drivers have become.

Best buy is the Shinco SDP-1731A from Firefox - great all round portable DVD with excellent image quality and groovy facilites.
