eBay Surcharges

I got to say, I am pretty miffed at the charges eBay apply to what money you earn on items you sell.

I recently sold my old iPhone 3G 8Gb on there and it went for £200.00. Paypal took 5% and eBay got their dirty money-grabbing hands on 10% of my earnings. £30 of my £200 was taken as fees.

And they think this is okay?

Product Placement

Is it just me or are programs easier to relate to now that Product Placement is allowed?

Sure, it's not much difference made, but when a character is on about "going to play rockband" or "loving Hagen-Daaz", you feel sucked into the story more.

You feel as though the characters are real and it's more than a program you are watching.

What are your thoughts on the lifting of the Product Placement ban?

Coventry

Possibly a rare shot this, its taken while standing on the railway bridge.

It was taken quickly, as work was due therefore I could not spend time getting the perfect image, but I am quite happy with this result.

I don't know if this image shows the limitations of my Satio, or if it's just because I snapped it quickly, either way the focus is out on subjects further away (such as the Morissons Supermarket on the left.)

Tamworth Castle

Tamworth castle, taken on the 5th of February 2010.

It was originally taken for my Girlfriend's mom, but seeing as it is quite a nice photo (excluding the danger of death sign), I figured maybe the internet would like to see it.

Goodbye Wordpress.

Evening to all,

I come in search of refuge from the evils of Wordpress.

It's nice on the outside, but underneath the sleek and smooth exterior lies what can only be described as a Spam-Magnet.

It could have been my fault, I could have added more plugins to block Spam, but I felt Spam Karma was enough.

Lets hope Blogger can offer me the blogging I need, without the spam I don't want.
