Is this the world’s strongest iPhone case?
It definitely looks and feels like one, and guess what you can pick one up for under £8.00!
So is it all it is cracked up to be? I’ll let you know when I have had it tested for a while, initial impressions though are good, it seems very strong, however it also seems a little exposed to the elements!
I know I have been promising these for quite some time, and if you have been contacting me in relation to when they were going up please accept my apologies for the delay.
It just took a little longer than I was expecting to get the time to trim them down and make sure the best photos made it. I had well over 700 to sort through, and I hope I have brought you the best of them!
The only gripe I have, which to be honest about I am reasonably devastated over is that there was a horribly placed fence just in front of me that played havoc with getting the wheels of the bikes in the shots. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any higher to try and cut over it, and I didn’t want to move, as my position at this chicane was far too good to let go.
The other thing I thought was that the decals and livery of the bikes were just too nice for me to not put up the photos due to the fact that the fence interfered with the wheels a little. So I am aware that the fence is not ideal in the photos, but I also felt you should get a good look at the bikes regardless.
Also this was my first attempt at motion photography, and I have to say I really enjoyed trying a few different techniques. I still am learning and motorsport photography is definitely something I will be working at in the future, so expect some more.
If you live in Northern Ireland you have without a doubt seen the posters up in every town across the country for this ‘Extreme Stunt Show.’ I was really dubious about how a stunt show could be mobile and good, I had a vision of a poor circus, with people who couldn’t give a ^*&?> about the show, and well it’s mobile so how can it be any good. Regardless I went to the Extreme Stunt Show more out of curiosity to see how bad it could be.
And I am happy to say I was WRONG! This is a great day, with really skilled guys doing really crazy things! If you get the chance to go, do so and you’ll enjoy it. I mean skilled and crazy, and that’s a damn good combination!
I have a full Gallery to share in relation to this and a video! WOO HOO! Yes indeed a video! Now it is my first attempt at a video so don’t expect too much, but it is just a taster.
Finally there is a good chance these guys will have left Northern Ireland by the time the Gallery and video are up, so once again if you get the chance to go check them out, do it, and then come back here to remember it!
Oh and as you will see I got a glorious sunny day, actually got a little burnt, but with the crazy ass weather we are getting at the moment, keep you fingers crossed for a nice day, as with any outdoor event I can imagine the rain could really put a dampener on things!
Oh and if you are not in Northern Ireland I believe these guys are touring Europe all summer long!
Full Gallery and Video COMING SOON!
The Euro 2012 Championships start today and it will be a full on couple of weeks of football. A great way to get through the summer void. So make sure you follow my twitter for all my tips and thoughts on the Championships as they develop.
Enjoy the tournament and my first tip is the hosts Poland to beat Greece. Currently at evens on Bet365 it seems a decent chance to double up.
So when I logged into my account I had the princely sum of £8.33. Lol. So let’s see if I can make it grow. All of it is on Poland. So fingers crossed or I’ll bust out on the opening day. Ha!
So I love cleaning my car, and I always do a thorough Spring Clean ever year, actually a couple of times a year. This year, as I now have a garage I have decided to do an epic clean. I reckon it will take four separate sittings, but unlike those crazy detailing sessions you see I prove myself in the fact that anyone who has the time can do one of my ‘Spring Cleans.’ So when I have done it I will post up the full process here along with the products used so you can all have a go yourself!
This one probably won’t be completed for a week or two though!
Just a quick note of what’s coming soon. I have a full gallery featuring some of the great action from the North West 200 Motorcycle Races, and another unboxing of a G-Shock, this one is rather special in that there is only 150 globally!
So it’s coming soon!
2012 is Year Six for the Harmony Hill Car Show. It is set up and run by a friendly little chap called the ‘Weed‘ and although it is a strange name, the work he does is good. Harmony Hill is a Charity Show all the cars enter and pay a fee (£10) and Spectators are FREE! Although of course they too can donate to the charity and profits from the BBQ go towards the charity too.
One noticeable thing about the Harmony Hill show is that it somehow gets the weather! And a good car show needs good weather, and this is always a good show!
Please check out the full gallery of over 190 photos on our NICruisin.com FaceBook page, and like it too if you want, there is literally thousands of photos documenting the Northern Irish Cruise scene since the late 1990s right up to now!

Here is just a quick sample…
Just a little bit of randomness here, I have decided to start running in a ‘hopeful’ attempt to get fit. Having done about 16 miles in a pair of running shoes that I think I got around 2004 I decided to get a new pair of running shoes, the choice I made was a pair of Yellow / Black Reebok ZigTech.
It would be very unfair of me to rate these in anyway as I am far from a professional runner, in fact I am far from an amateur runner, so I definitely feel on this occasion there are better places to get information on fitness products. Who knows though maybe soon you will be coming back here looking info on fitness…
Anyway the shoes are comfortable, I have covered about 35 miles in them since I got them, and they seem to be holding out perfectly well, oh and I think they look awesome!
And for some serious reviews I think this place has a good grasp on things : http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/reviews/shoes/1.html
G-001 JASON:
Taken from the G-Shock Facebook Info Page :
These new models revive the legendary DW-001 model design that first appeared in 1994 and quickly became a hit with young people who like their fashion with a bit of an edge. They take the distinctive round shape of the DW-001 and dress it up with a variety of exciting colours. The metal mesh insert band not only allows for the passage of air while the watch is being worn, it also creates a fashionable look.
There isn’t a lot more to say on this one, other than it is total Marmite, you either love it or hate it, so far I’d say about 50% of my friends like it, the other 50 % deeply hate it. I though love it!
Seems sometimes that I am trying to play catch up in relation to this little piece of TBNI, but around 19 days ago I mentioned an unboxing of my new Panasonic TZ-30 along with some initial thoughts and a few sample photos.
Instead though of playing catch up I actually think that this has given me a good chance to get a little play with the camera, which in turn makes me a little more qualified to pass judgement.
The unboxing itself requires little comment, it arrived in the post, next day from Amazon, who to be fair are hard to complain about, and from that point I opened it, here’s how that went!
