Tesco were supposed to deliver smokey bacon-flavoured doughnuts (I had to know), instead I got turkey and stuffing ones and they stink to high hell.

Four scratch cards were a failure n'all.

Best - a 3m USB cable for charging the PS4 pad. It's blue making it distinguishable from the twenty other USB cables in my room :evil: , and light with it.

A decal sticker to cover the stupid LED on said pad - the sticker is off-shape and looks stupid up close, but still not as stupid as having an LED light up your screen or wall.

Worst - This one was my fault, ordered the wrong USB adaptor.

ION I've got The Shadow DVD but haven't watched it yet. Also ordered a Kindle Voyage and I really hope stock comes in sooner than my supposed receiving date :(

As well as using Clubcard Boost to nab Far Cry 4 for £20 I've utilised Rakuten Super Points (obtained from buying the Wii U at a bargain price also!) to buy Metro Redux for £12. If Shadow Of Mordor on Black Friday in 15 minutes goes low then you can stick a fork in me. Because I'll be done.

I'm guessing MX Blues, from his "clicky" remark.

I like typing on blues but I can't live with the noise. I prefer browns on my work board and I have clears at home.

They all click, just to varying degrees... The one I bought only had reds, I prefer blues, but browns are a little softer than blue and some people prefer them.

Just ordered some Crystal Head vodka - screw you, Amazon. They've put their price up twice since I looked at it a week ago and probably still don't deliver to NI. £42 delivered I got it for, and Amazon want £44 as a starting point!

It wasn't what I ordered, but I got something similar to the above sent to me :? :lol:

Still looks cool though :)

I'm hoping I'll eventually get the MacLeod one I ordered :lol:

Kindle Voyage - only had a few minutes of tinkering, but it does everything I want it to do.

The backlit screen is great, sharp in every sense. Text looks so good you immediately wanna sit and read a book :D

Everything's pretty snappy, including connecting to the store and downloading, even my hundreds of Kindle docs can be selected and brought down individually in no time at all.

I haven't had a chance to test the light sensor or check what way it's set, but the initial setting really shows off the device.

The power button is now on the back of the device thankfully, and doesn't behave like a Nokia phone button from the 90's any more ;)

The back and forward haptic buttons (flat screen now, so these are on the 'bezel') seem to be rubbish no matter what setting they're on, and that's not just my experience going by the reviews. I imagine these will be fixed in an update - they'd certainly need to be for them not to be pointless.

It's superlight, and like a cm shorter than the original Paperwhite, meaning you can still use your old slip case and maybe other cases.

If anyone is thinking of getting one and has a question, just ask. So far I'm very happy with it :D
