When did chocolate bars get so expensive? £1.10 for a large twix damn, obvioulsy shows how often I buy snacks ha.
RC Stuff
Well it’s been some time since i’ve tinkered with RC models. I used to race electric buggies when I was in high school then didn’t really touch them until I got a HPI Super Nitro Rally about 6/7 years ago.
I’ve since sold it because it was nothing but grief as it never ran right. Ive decided to go back to basics and get a stadium truck so I can re-learn everything and then see where it goes from there.

New train
Currently on the Met line travelling on new style train. I must say I'm finding the open style carriages very strange as theirs no longer any doors between them. All looking very clean and smart i.e no grafitti wonder how long that'll last ha.

Got my monitor
Well today I finally picked up the monitor i’ve been waiting for an ASUS VW192S. Setup was a sinch as it’s plug n play in XP so no extra drivers needed, i’ve set it to ‘standard’ mode using it’s ‘Splendid’ feature and the pitcture is MUCH better than my old screen. 
Obviously I had to move my Demon bug ha. Also as it’s got internal speakers i’ll be ditching my own ones to free up some space and a power plug.
Online i’ve seen it for £117.49 + delivery and considering It’s been barely used and I paid a measly £32.55 for it I think it’s got to be one of my best bargains of the year.
The decision has been made….
After a few nights searching/comparing/posting/printing tonight I got it down to just 2 monitors.
LG W2261V-PF best price £158.61 delivered
Samsung B2230H best price £129.99 delivered
Now being an LG fan I was set on getting that one however its let down by the fact it doesn't have VESA fixings and although I don't need to wall mount at the moment I might need to in the future.
So there you have it ones I've saved enough money the Samsung it will be.
Rah rah rah
Well as you know my monitor has died so while I decide on what one to get I thought id get a cheap one off fleabay to get me by.
Now as I'm in a hurry for it I purposly searched by distance and looked for sellers who offered pick up. I found one less than 5 miles away so I bid and won it on sat evening. I messaged the seller 5 minutes of doing so asking if I could pick up same night, no reply. Later on I messaged again asking if I could pick up on Sunday. Well got a reply at 3pm today saying he's away until wed and that location that was on the auction was wrong as that's their old address and the new place is bloody miles away in Hampstead. He said he could get it to the old address next week so looks like ill have to go without until then, sigh….

Over the past few days I have been researching different monitors and here's the ones I like so far….
