Hey guys.
I'm going to give you some context before I launch into the review. For Christmas, my mum and dad got my big brother a set of Creative T10 speakers. At the time, I thought not much of it. They were nice looking speakers, but I was perfectly fine with my current pair of Logitech X-14-0's (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-140-Multimedia-Speakers-2-0/dp/B000JCDRTU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1294696270&sr=8-3). My brother, post Christmas day, decided to give his speakers a run while I was in the room, and I was (pardon the cliche) blown away.
Now, my X-140's weren't bad at all. In fact, in comparison with the TV's sound output without speakers, they sounded like my T10's sound like to the X-140's. For only £15, the X-140's served their purpose very well. But, like I said, the T10's were excellent. They seemed to have this depth that the X-140's didn't have, I think they can go louder and they look a lot cooler, and go with my TV a lot better too. So, I went on to ye olde Amazon and looked at a pair, they were £30, which was brilliant because I got a £25 Amazon voucher for Christmas too. So I got Dad to order them, and then I only had to wait 2-3 days before they arrived.
That was a truly joyous day, I must say. Especially since I do a lot of online gaming, the better quality speakers really have helped. But, alas, it was only a day before a truly bizarre thing happened. I went to listen to my iPod, so I hooked it up, went to turn the speakers on and they just wouldn't. The green LED didn't turn up, and the familiar *click* wasn't there. As irritated as I was, dad managed to keep a lot cooler than I did, and he was e-mailing Amazon within the hour. And I got a new set 2 days later. I was very impressed.
Overall, I would highly recommend these speakers. The sound quality is excellent, they have a rich, deep sound to them, and the base great. They were really easy to set up, they look stylish, and they're quite cheap for how good they are. I believe they've been discontinued, so in the rare occasion that you do want to buy a pair, go here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-140-Multimedia-Speakers-2-0/dp/B000JCDRTU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1294696270&sr=8-3
That's me done!

2010 thoughts.
As we're putting 2010 away in a cupboard, we're brining out a shiny new replacement year that does all the things 2010 couldn't, the model being 2011.
It's easy, when thinking about the years actions, to only pay attention to the bad things that happen. For example, I could focus on my grandfather's death, or my dog's death. Death being the prominent theme. But this is a bad thing to do, there are so many good things that happen that it becomes almost commonplace, and that's why the bad things 'stick out'.
When thinking about 2010 last night, I completely forgot about my mini-holiday to Wales. It was excellent, with great views and I generally had a great time with my family. I'd forgotten about other things too.I've met some great people this year, like Zak, Alex, Holly and others, and I've had great outings with them. Seeing Inception with Zak and Jewis. All the private jokes that no one really understands, (SKA!) and others I really shouldn't mention that Holly said! :P
I've made mistakes, but no worse than people of my age have, and I've had success. The mistakes making the success all the much sweeter.
This entry seems to be more about my past experiences than anything, but that's what blogs are. My general message is that you need to try and look past the bad things, and appreciate the good things. Terrible things happen, things that I wouldn't wish upon anyone, and so do amazingly good things.
I hope you had a good year, and that the coming year is even better.
