TGND’s been kinda slack at blogging recently – with the last elastic band ball update in May.

Well, today I got the Official Ruler and made good use (well, almost – I’m a crap photographer) of the office digital camera:

Now, as this ball is made up entirely of the red elastic bands that come wrapped around the mail – can I claim it to be “By Royal Appointment to HRH…” or would I just be risking the wrath of our good Liz?

Anyhoo, at just over 5″ diameter (127.000254mm for the metric monsters out there) it’ll soon be time to get it up on Ebay 🙂

Oh, I’m trying to lay my hands on one of those Nintendo Wii consoles (they’re like rocking horse poo over here), so my weekly phone call to Toys ‘R’ Us this morning was slightly different – rather than the usual “Got any Wiis coming in?” was replaced by the laugh-’til- you-cry:

”Do you have any Wii on your hands?“

Cue me laughing like a manic laughing thing, and the guy the other end snorting (glad I don;t have to use that phone after him) for a good 2 minutes before he could answer.

Personally I think I deserve one for the unique way I asked…Hmm…opens up Word:

Dear Nintendo,

I think I need to lay off the strong coffee a bit…
