a Train Set with no plug!
August 8th, 2006
Everyone talks about buying an electrical item for Christmas such as a train set or a scalextric, and finding out that, on Christmas day of all days, when there are no shops open other than Alldays, there is no plug!!
Today this happened for me. I got my pennies together and ordered the parts for my brand spanking new PC. The ultimate gaming system, where everything would look pretty and all runs like stink.
The text came while I was at work that it had all arrived, and I counted the minutes until half five, when I could rag it home to assemble it all.
On arriving, I opened the box.. monitor, graphics card, cpu, psu, tower, hard drive, dvd-rw drive, ram .. wahoo all there! No wait.. no .. flaming .. heatsink. I ordered the only CPU with no heatsink.. Maplins better stock them tomorrow or I’m gonna have a hernia.

Actually by law all electrical items have to come with pre fitted plugs ;-)
Substitute the word ‘plug’ for ‘batteries’ .. yeah? :)
