Advantages: Lighwreight well made rucksack Disadvantages: There are to many straps
I recently needed a new backpack because my old one was rather worn and large for my purposes. So of to good old ebay I go, on the hunt for a new one. Firstly I looked at the some of the sports bags like Adidas, Reebok and Nike. None of these however fitted my personal criteria. I was looking for something that would fit comfortably on my shoulders whilst on my bike. It needed to be practical, lightweight, with lots of compartments for my bits and pieces. So I have a look through the camping section on ebay and soon found the bag I was looking for, the Karrimor Vault 20.
The bag itself is black and grey and has the Karrimor logo neatly stitched on the front, this looks like a union jack at first but on closer examination turns out to be two "K's" back to back in inverted colours one side being silver/black and the other black ...
Advantages: Battery life, size and weight Disadvantages: None so far!
I have just purchased a Samsung NC20 from Amazon. I originally planned on getting the NC10 after reading lots of fantastic reviews, but I was apprehensive about the size, being approx 10" screen. Anyway I heard about the NC20, and after seeing a HP notebook of the same size, I decided to wait for that instead...
Amazon have had the white version in stock for a few weeks, but the Black one only came in this week. Customer service was excellent, I ordered on Wed evening, but due to a problem with my card, the order only went through at 6.30pm on Thursday...it was then delivered at 8.30am on Friday!!! That's what I call express service! The cost was about £375, so it's not the cheapest on the market, but the reviews of the NC10 swayed me in spending a little extra.
Anyway I've been pretty much glued to it ever since ...

After finding a copy of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers in a nearby bookshop and being told it was a good read by others I decided to buy it, and then I discovered I'd left my wallet in my other coat.
A few months later after forgetting to come back to that bookshop and buying that book I discovered 20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth in my local library, naturally I picked it up so I could finally see how good of an author Xiaolu Guo was and see whether or not I should go look for the other books she has written.
I can tell you now that I am planning on looking for a copy of her other works, she's brilliant.
Fenfang has left the slow and boring ...
Zodiak 20 is 5 litres bigger than Zodiak 15, which gives room for some extra features. Like the smaller pack, it has a Supercool back system with a wind tunnel to maintain ventilation; a sliding chest strap; a grab handle; mesh stash pockets, an internal organiser and hydration system compatibility. In addition, Zodiak 20 has a removable waist belt, a front shock cord carrying system and a walking pole attachment point. It's great for day hikes and, as it will accommodate A4 files, it's useful for school or college, too. Weight 500g.
