Feeling a big nostilgic about the 80′s. Well, if you are, you have come to the right place! How about a game of Tetris? BTW: There is a whole lot of pretty useless info about Tetris here.

Hi Everyone-

Happy Christmas – have a really great festive season. Hope you get some time out and recharge your batteries for 2008.

Thanks for all the good times and memories (no, we are not trying to sound like a KFM advert!), but we are looking foward to some more good times ahead!

Enjoy the movie! (if you can’t see it, click here)

Love Craig & Lois

ps: if you are not in it, we are really, really, really sorry!

I was cleaning up my study, and I found the old ticket stubs from our trip up the Eiffel Tower in Vegas. Ok, so this wasn’t the real tower in France, it was only a 1/2 scale model, but it was still 540 feet (164m) tall, and it was pretty impressive.

Walking through the Paris hotel is really like walking through the streets of Paris – complete with sidewalk cafe’s, accordion music & cobbled streets. I really felt like I was back in Paris.

However, what really amused me was the warning on the ticket  – “no unauthorized weddings”.  Where else would you find that warning? I suppose that if you are going to do a Vegas wedding, the top of the Eiffel Tower is as good a place as any  – good thing Lois and I are already married!

I still think that Vegas is a great place to get married – you can have a drive trough wedding, the reception at the MacDonalds drive through, and even see a show afterwards!

Don’t forget – no unauthorized weddings!

Last Saturday, I went to Dial-a-Bed to look at a new bed. Yes, I know that you can just dial and they will deliver, but I wanted to try one or two out first.

Anyway, they had no stock in Cape Town of the bed that I settled on, but the shipment was due to arrive from Johannesburg within the week. No problem, I could wait a few days.

But they phoned me on Thursday to tell me that the shipment was still on Johannesburg, and I had a choice. I could either continue waiting, or buy the other bed that I looked at, which cost R1000 more!

However, for my inconvenience they would discount the more expensive bed by R1000. Of course I was happy with that suggestion (I also got free delivery).

So, I am now sleeping on a brand new top of the range bed. Well done guys for the customer service. I will recommend you anyday.

Ps: It was the Tokai branch.

Update: the salesman personally phoned me today to thank me for the orchids (I hadn’t told them abou this post!)

There are two rules for success in life:

Rule 1: Don’t tell people everything you know…
