random stuff you learnt today: strontium > calcium for strengthening bones. In other words, leafy vegetables > milk for healthy bones. Meat, vegetables and beans = the perfect diet. The less carbos and starch, the better.

Recycle your red poppies, paint them white, and wear them throughout the year.

After years of having a 20" CRT Digitor in my room, I have finally replaced it this morning with a 32" Bravia, built in freeview and 1080p capabilities. Not bad for $770 incl an HDMI cable :D

Bought a TP Link ADSL2+ router from LegendPC in Christchurch.

The service was really good, unlike a lot of online stores you can actually go into a physical shop and have a yarn about the products. The staff were informative and polite.

Prices were pretty competitive and they also do sales over trademe auctions.

Definitely recommend them for anyone in Christchurch.


Went in there to get my TV today, convinced them to chuck in a free 2m HDMI cable. Again the service was really good, the guys there want to give you all the information you need about the product options you have and how to get the best utilisation from them.

$769 is the best price I could find in CHCH, and when discussing this with them they seemed adamant that passing on the best price to the consumer was a big value of theirs.

I'm really impressed by these guys, and would definitely direct anyone who's looking at buying pc/electrical wares to them.


And no, I don't work for them or have any conflict of interest. There's so many shitty retailers out there in this game, when you come across a good one (locally as well), I think it's important to promote them so they survive.
