ok I updated my wordpress blog to use a plugin from watchcount.com, so that I can list my ebay items on my blog. I will be selling a lot of stuff soon due to my impending emigration to the USA yahooooooo !!!!
There was a small FEATURE in the plugin that didnt allow it to work when php is hosted on IIS but have worked with the author and have now solved that which is great. Actually great support from them and it works a treat.
So I now have ebay items on the sidebar and you can post directly into the text like this… Check out the tattoo flash from my impending brother in law !!! yahoooo. OK OK I am getting a bit wild for a Monday morning I know any way check this out.
These item(s) are live on eBay right now. (Click photos to see more info on eBay.)
Not sure on the ebay header bit but I guess thats ebay doing that so probably nothing we can do about it.

While away this summer on Edisto Beach had a few days in Augusta, South Carolina and decided to go to “Sticky Fingers” rib restaurant in Augusta, Georgia. Now Sticky Fingers is a rib specialty restaurant, so was looking forward to it very much. We went right at dinner time and had to wait about 20 minutes to be seated so was still looking very promising to be an excellent restaurant. We got in there and I perused the menu and decided upon half a rack of ribs marinaded in the sweet BBQ sauce.
The ribs eventually arrived which took some time after ordering but hey they were busy so I allowed them this. The food was dumped and we weren’t even given cutlery or napkins to start with. After asking these were provided for, how could they forget cutlery !!!
The ribs didnt look marinaded in anything except some generic BBQ sauce which looked like it had been on for days. The ribs were tough and not really that pleasant at all. They didnt taste of the marinade that I had chosen. Was very disappointed indeed. At the end of the meal I couldnt find any wipes to clean my hands which you would expect to be available being a rib restaurant.
On getting back to England was so disappointed with the restaurant decided I was going to let the owners of the chain know of my disappointment with the Augusta branch. So fired up the Sticky Fingers website and filled in a page detailing my experience, pressed the button. Then got emails back from their site saying that it couldn’t find the host stickyfingers.com from its mail server – agghghghghgh.
This is obviously a restaurant chain in decline, wouldn’t recommend it at all. Although I guess a lot of people are happy with second rate ribs as it did have its busy periods.

Gosh what a weekend. Jeni Parrish and Michael Good FINALLY tied the knot and had their wedding this weekend. I, as a busy executive !!! making teas etc !!! didnt have the time to holiday again in the Carolinas which was a shame but decided to try a weekend hop to the states. Was very hectic but enjoyable.
Here are a few photos from the event….
As Buff would say YAY !!!
And a wierd fact of the night was: Jeni’s father (blood) has several tattoos on him by Eddie Peace – Noels (Jeni’s sister-in-laws husband) grandfather, blogged about him in previous posts.

My friend Noel Peace in the Carolinas has started a tattoo site.
It features the famous Georgia tattooists Eddie and Ann Peace (his grandparents). There is history on them and you can even buy a bound book of the original tattoo flash created by Eddie Peace.
