By being bald, and addressing the captain of my flight to Leeds Bradford, I was not only able to take a peek in the cockpit, I was actually allowed to even have a seat in the captains chair… Brilliant!

The cockpit is that one of a Boeing 737-300… And the photo was taken by the co-pilot who was friendly enought to show me around a bit.

I’ll be damned if I ever get such a chance again….

Panic Struck!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

2 Weeks ago, I ordered my new camera, a Fuji Finepix S9600… I’ve read the reviews, my father owns the S9500, it’s predecessor, so I know what I’ll get.

Yet somehow Lady Fortune isn’t ruling in my favor. Today I got a phone-call from the shop where I initially ordered the cam. They couldn’t promise the camera would be delivered this nor next week. PANIC!!! I’ll be shipping myself next week to England in a pressurized metal tube, and I’m NOT, I repeat, NOT leaving without a working camera around my neck.

In a flash of total panic, I cancelled the current order, and went looking for a shop that has them in stock. I was determined not to let myself down on this venture. Finally, after a staggering 15 minutes (yes, you read it well, 15 f*in minutes of total panic last a f**king lifetime), I found one… Well, that’s what I thought. It was friggin TWICE (well, not precise, but in panic you exaggerate a bit) the price of the camera I ordered. Time to hunt for another one. Almost an hour later I found one, and in a place I would not have expected. bol.com, I thought that was a book & musicstore. Well, guess again. They have one, in stock, and 10% cheaper then my original purchase. Delivery? I hope tomorrow or monday, but my experience with bol.com is such that they WILL deliver (bought some books and CD/DVD’s there earlier).

Finally I can settle in for the weekend with a heartbeat below 150… Let us hope it stays this way ;-)

During the next week I will probably have limited posts on the site. I’m designing a new theme for the website, and that is currently consuming the time I would spend digging in YouTube and writing posts.

I’m NOT implicating in any way there won’t be ANY posts, just not as much as in the past ;-)

Another Classic Song

This song is a classic, the clip is vague (I agree), why is that guy bumping everyone aside? Ok, he’s walking straight, but changing is walking around too, whatever. Look and Feel :-)
