Just finished re-casing No.1 son’s DS for the 2nd time. Let’s hope this time it lasts longer than 4 days… http://bit.ly/emSkd

So the first time it broke, about 6 weeks ago, it wasn't his fault, the original Nintendo DS case had cracked plastic around the right-hand hinge on the lid, making it all floppy. So, I got him a replacement replica case from http://www.ebay.co.uk/ for £15. Took me about 2 hours to replace the whole thing – he wanted to go from his original red case to camoflague – so I had to dismantle every last little bit…. not easy :: see http://bit.ly/emSkd ::

Anyway, case replaced, DS back in business and he was a happy boy… for four days… until, showing off his cool camo case in the park playground he drops it on the ground, shattering the right-hand hinge! So he had to sacrifice another £15 of his holiday spending money to buy himself another case, which I've just got round to fitting.

Anyone who's ever done this before will know what little buggers the L & R buttons and their retaining springs are! Nervous breakdown here I come….

Baaaaaaah!

Spotted David Gest in the Inn at Whitewell, Forest of Bowland, (For you Southerners that's in Lancashire). Much shorter than I thought he would be, nice red-topped hair do. He even waived at Olly, which was nice…

Seems like even in the most ramshackle row of falling down buildings there's always room for a Vodafone/Aircel/Nokia/Samsung/Sony Ericsson branded mobile phone shop/service centre :-) They don't seem to care about repairing the road, and they're not even that arsed about building the new Airport Metro link, but they do seem to love their mobiles…

Brand wise, Nokia & Vodafone seem to have it all sown up – lost count of the number of huge blue & white logos over tiny shops and the red boxes with the VF logo around lamp-posts – and only saw one hand-painted sign mentioning iphones – "iphone repairs" – maybe I just wasn't looking in the right direction…
