I was off out last night, and on leaving my flat I had my mini in hand, switched it into Shuffle songs and put it in the inside pocket of my jacket.
Or so I thought.
I'd actually bypassed the pocket and just dropped the mini into empty space... and it plummeted right into the particularly uneven pavement
It was slowed a little by the remote control clip, and on picking it up it seemed unscratched - but it was dark at this point.
On getting onto the Tube I had another look and there is a very minor dint on the front below the screen, two or three small gouges (they really are small, but deep) on the left hand edge near the bottom, and another dint has raided a very small section of the bottom of the mini, so if you run your hand around you can feel the difference.. its slightly sharp and raised in that one place.
In the grand scheme of things all very minor, but I'm one of those folks who likes his pride and joys perfect, and with the next mini gen supposedly around the corner, i'm taking it as a sign...
One of my friends has offered to buy it off me for £120 as such minor flaws don't bother her, but she would like it next week... should I do it? I really rely on my mini for tunes every day, but could make do with my phones radio for a week or so if the next mini is ready for release..... whadya think?
(PS I've leant my Shuffle to a friend who is training for the London Marathon so can't exactly ask for it back now!)
