I know a few of you read this – I need to ask you a question: have you ever bought anything online from www.clickadeal.com? And if so, did it go smoothly?
I made a purchase to the value of £151.56 on Sunday night (2nd Feb), delivery estimate given to be 4-6 working days. The money left my account via Google Checkout that day, and I received a mail saying that the item had been shipped same day, which seemed excellent, as it was a Sunday.
However it has yet to turn up, and 2 messages sent to the seller via Google Checkout have yielded no reply, and both the phone numbers I have found for these people give “unobtainable”, which makes me somewhat nervous.
Anyone?

…and by “here”, I mean on Twitter. The recent surge in popularity of the ubiquitous micro-blogging site has meant a massive influx of users. I joined the thing years ago, though I can’t find a quick way of seeing on the site exactly when I joined.
Anyhow, the reason I mention it is that I’m going to implement one of those weeky digest Twitter posts – all the Tweets I’ve crapped out in a week, rolled up into a blog post and automatically fired up here in lieu of writing actual content. Hoorah. When would be best? I’m thinking Friday morning at the moment. I’ll do it and we’ll see.
In other news, the Xbox360 continues to dominate free time, with Fable II now completed and Fallout 3 getting a proper coat of looking at. Bioshock, Half-Life 2 and Halo 3 all sit waiting in the wings, and there is talk of a belated birthday present featuring a plastic guitar.
Musically, though, things are still gathering momentum despite this gaming frenzy. “Gunslinger” is almost finished, and is likely to enter the mixing stage some time in the next fortnight. The bassline is in from Germany for “Wonko’s Asylum”, and another bassline has been contracted out to deepest Essex.
So there you are. And there you have it. And why not?
