The day when my iPhone smashed and was fixed again...

10:24 mareku 0 Comments

I was just about to leave my house and was al dressed up in my motor gear when the bank called: I stumbled to get my iPhone and it fell on the (concrete) garage floor: It was a major disaster - the SCREEN WAS BROKEN! :-(
A couple of hours later I informed at T-Mobile what a repair would cost me. € 530! OOPS!
But then I found PDA Tech in Den Haag - a nice Turkish guy (motorcycle freak just like me) told me to come by and he would fix it for just € 75 - including 3 months of warranty.
It was an amazing experience: right for my own eyes this guy repaired my iPhone in just half an hour. Complete with an original brand new screen. I am as happy as a pig in mud :-))) If ever you have  a problem with your iPhone remember PDA Tech - he will fixe it a couple of hours later (even in a weekend).

Jealous...

Niek bought a very nice Ferrari 456 in racing green. I must admit: I am jealous - but maybe we have to an accelaration test between his (12V, 435 Hp, 0 - 100KM 5.2 sec) green Hulk and my Milky motorbike ( 4 inline, 0 - 100KM 3.5 sec)...

Meanwhile in Iraq...

While I am very happy about the lastest developments in Sweden, Iowa & Vermont there are some regions in the world where things are quite different. In the past two months, the bodies of as many as 25 boys and men suspected of being gay have turned up in the huge Shiite enclave of Sadr City, Iraq. In most cases, it is the families that are killing the gay son. Clerics in Sadr City have urged followers to help root out homosexuality in Iraqi society, and the police have begun their own crackdown on gay men. When will this madness end?

Next week the new OSS 117 with Jean Dujardin will premiere - As a warm up I bought 44 vintage OSS117 pocket books. I am not sure whether I will be able to read them all by next week - but with Easter coming up, I will give it a try :-) When I was 12 years old - these were some of my favorite books.
