Twisted Kites

Been needing a new iPod for a while as the one I have now tents to live in the car. So now the new range has been released it makes sense to get one. Anybody actually tried buying one?! Impossible to find, although they have supposedly been released. Argos ‘OUT NOW!’ on site, ‘coming soon’ in stores and ‘out of stock’ when trying to reserve one. Went into Comet in Rugby yesterday, big board in the doorway with huge words on it ‘New iPod Range Now In Stock!’. Great. Went inside and found loads of old ones still on display. Asked the woman in there, she said she hadn’t seen them. Saying things like that should be illegal, surely it’s a form of false advertising.

Seems to me like they’re a huge myth, although in Currys in Victoria they do have one of them, the new 4GB silver Nano. Which is about as much use as a floppy disc drive. Might just buy one direct from Apple or something but the way things are going I’ll probably place an order and the thing might arrive in 9 weeks time, about the time we will probably see them.

I didn’t come away empty handed though, I did get myself a nice pair of black Skechers shoes from Brantano, like trainers but without laces, with grey bits and red stitching, lovely and comfy. Not cheap but I needed some decent black ones. Today I need to find a new kettle as mine has started leaking.
