London, potato pancakes, and mp3 players

[deralte]

I'm going to be in London on Friday and Sat. Would anyone like to get together for lunch or dinner on those days? I promise I'm not a homicidal axe murderer, and I chew with my mouth closed *g*

I made potato pancakes this evening, and they turned out surprisingly good. Less so was the apple sauce. Dear Tesco, Apple sauce is supposed to be sauce, not jam. Ick. Yours gastronomically, Ariana.

After the advice of my friendslist, I ended up taking all the advice into account, then going online to search through mp3 player reviews until my eyes crossed. I also went and talked to a salesperson somewhere to get their expert opinion, which was mostly, "Don't buy an ipod. They suck." since apparently they're the ones that get sent back the most with problems. I have eventually settled on this though half of me is expecting my father to tell me to pull the other one... It's very shiny though...

*pokes* Saturday might be good -- I have a ticket to go see a performance of Gabriel Faure's Requiem at St Martin-in-the-Fields, but I'd be interested in either lunch or dinner on that day. ^_^

My guess is that they're the ones getting sent back the most because they're the ones getting sold the most. I know a couple of people who have them who have no problems, but I often wonder (I don't really know) how they are at handling different forms of sound files. The things you buy off iTunes aren't really mp3s - they're another file type, but can be easily converted (though I'm not sure that's really legal). anyway, the people I know listen to both iTunes files and mp3s on their iPods, and it works swell.

Seconding (or whatever) the don't-get-an-iPod speech. When I worked at CompUSA we stopped allowing people to return iPods, because so many came back defective that we were losing crazy amounts of money. It was ridiculous.
