iPhones with Flappy Bird selling for £40,000+ on ebay

Since the news of the super addictive Flappy Bird App creators deciding to withdraw the app from Apple's Appstore, people have started to auction their iPhones with Flappy Bird installed on ebay. Some of which have bids of over a £40,000!! This reminds me of the time when people started putting up snow men for sale on ebay. I decided to go have a look myself and see what the whole fuss is about. I came across a few auctions which had bids now of over 6 million pounds, which seems a little excessive and I doubt the winning bidder is genuine, but I'd like to think they would pay and make someones dreams come true. I guess this will all be old news in a few hours, but I thought I'd mention it.

Brown is the new Black

The last couple of years saw a rise in cars being released in white. It’s a cool colour but it’s starting to get boring. So it’s good news to see that 2010 seems to be bringing new hues into the market; the most popular seems to be shades of Brown. As always fashion trends always go full circle, so seeing brown cars reminds me of my dad’s car back when I was just 8 years old, he use to drive a chocolate brown Ford Escort. As I got older I remember joy riding around in a brown Mini Metro, luckily I never got caught. The first brown car I saw was the Audi R8 Spyder, which looked amazing. As more cars got released with the new 10 registration plate it seems it’s the new trend and Brown has become the new black. My favourite new car in brown is the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, followed closely by the Audi R8 Spyder. I’ve even seen an Audi A3 in a really dark brown colour which I loved. The most affordable brown car I would go for would be the Citroen DS3; I should p...

Locomotive Themed Indian Takeaway in Basildon

As usual I was feeling hungry and seeing as it was a Friday night I decided to pick up the stash of takeaway menus that have nested on my doormat. I casually went through the pile looking for something that caught my eye and I came across a rather adventurous looking Indian takeaway menu. It was from an Indian Takeaway in Basildon called the Maharaja’s Express Indian Takeaway. The menu design was themed in an Indian locomotive style, similar to the actual Maharajas Express train in India. Once I opened the menu, I was welcomed by the fact that I wasn’t bombarded with a gazillion dishes to choose from, and I was equally impressed by the design inside and the fact that the curry’s where not just named by their usual names, but had the location of where the curry came from. Excited by the sounds of a British Tikka Masala, I hurried along to grab my mobile and make an order. The lad that answered took my order in a very express fashion and my foo...

Mmmm Maybach Coupe

I’ve always seen the Maybach as an over-rated Mercedes. Even with its amazing luxury interior, modern technology and such extras as the assist button which can be used at anytime to get help finding the closest Italian Restaurant or whatever you may be looking for. I prefer the Bentley Arnage or Rolls Royce Phantom when it comes to looks. But these are cars you don’t buy to drive; you buy them to get driven around in. Personally I’d rather be in the driver’s seat and definitely not to drive someone around, I don’t think they’ll enjoy the luxuries at the speeds I plan to drive. This brings me to the new Maybach Coupe. At first glance I thought wow; this is the most attractive Maybach I’ve ever seen. Researching further I realised that this is actually a regular Maybach 57 which is being modified by a company called Xanatec with approval from Mercedes Maybach. The car looks a lot like a stretched out version of a Bentley Continental. But unlike the Bentley which h...
