The Re-Retraction...

You were right, dearest brother... There are only 2 batteries...

I've Been Asked To Point Out...

2 things:

1. My Mopod only had 2 batteries (I would check, but it's not easy to see when his erse is all wupped up with tape!).
2. The string was slippy (and not from my brother's sweaty paws, I'm sure).

Enough of a compromise, brother dear?

Never Try To Buck Evolution

Subtitled: Penguins Don't Fly So Good...

A tale from Saturday night that's got to go on here, otherwise my brother will be hugely disappointed, and I can't have that...

A few months ago I bought myself a Mopod... What's that? "What's a Mopod?", I hear you cry as one... I'm glad you asked - This is a Mopod...


And their website's here: Mopods

They're little gizmos that you get to attach to your bag, or phone, or whatever, and if you get a call or text, the little plastic pod flashes different coloured lights, and the animal spins like buggery to let you know.

Anyway, as you might have guessed by this post's subtitle, mine is the penguin... or maybe that should be WAS... as my brother was playing with mine on Saturday night to see what sort of magnetic fields would set him off, and he picked him up by the little string that's on him, and attempted to spin him round his finger, except it didn't quite go as planned... and my poor little penguin briefly felt what it was like to fly freely - before evolution and gravity kicked in, and he crashed to the ground, spilling his 3 little batteries out onto the floor...

As a result, his battery cover's now held on by tape, and my brother owes me a new Mopod!
