*snippet* Why isn’t there somewhere that sells packaging materials that are filled with a “lighter than air” gas (such as helium)? I’ve found that I weigh something I’m going to send, package it up and then find out I’ve to pay extra for the postage. But if the packaging material was full of helium then the weight of the packaging materials might get cancelled out: saving me forking out extra on the postage….

I’ve now been awake for over 36 hours – too tired and busy to do much blogging, but I did find a Shockwave flash game which helped me concentrate when I needed to…
Spaced Penguin is a little (93k) game where you’ve got to help Kevin the Penguin get back to his spaceship using the highly advanced GP S(Giant Penguin Slingshot/Catapult). Click on Kevin and hold down your mouse button to ‘steer’ him, pull back to set his velocity and then let him go. The further he travels to get to his spaceship (and the more ‘worm holes’ he passes over) the higher your score – but be careful of the planets that attract you with their gravity.
I quite like it when you can go in orbit around a planet and make those nice little spiral pictures that you used to make when you were a little kid with a pencil and two ‘cogged’ wheels over a piece of paper.
My highest score (so far) is 497,815. Anybody beat that yet or have you left Kevin to be Lost In Space? But saying that – WTF is a penguin doing in the depths of space anyway? Flibblepenguin indeed!
![[15 CDs]](https://blog.rac.me.uk/photos/15cdsebay-thumb.jpg)
After my earlier sale of 35 CDs via Ebay (I sold them for £19 – but since I only charged £3.54 for P+P and it eventually cost £6.16 to send, I lost a little bit), I’ve got a brand new sale on Ebay.
Yep, now available on Ebay are a further 15 Top Brand name Original CDs for you to purchase. I’ve even included a “Buy It Now” option to enable you to purchase the whole lot for £30 if you hurry.
With a low reserve price – why don’t you make a bid on such a bargain? 15 top performers (the total collection has a price of nearly £60 on Amazon) at a low low price – you can surely afford to place a bid (if only to buy it to keep me in food).
