My new Sony Ericsson K750i

My new Sony Ericsson K750i

I’ve just upgraded to the new Sony Ericsson K750i phone and am well pleased with it. It works well as a phone and is much more responsive and easier to use than my old Nokia 6600, but it’s all the extra features that make it really great. The camera takes pretty good pictures for a …

Trip to Luxembourg

Trip to Luxembourg

I’ve just come back from the blues and jazz festival in Luxembourg. A few of us went out for the festival but also to jump out of a plane (with parachutes attached) and now I’ve managed to steal other people’s photos to upload. The people in the photos are generally a mix of myself, Chris …
