SUPERIOR photographs of the WONDER battery

We owe the Russian digital camera industry an apology. Higher-resolution and superbly-posed photos of the WONDER have just been supplied by reader and original WONDER-finder "Alex," who says he actually found the WONDER battery "in a small village in Lithuania."

Anyone fancy a group trip to do some East-European battery-tourism?

Battery-hunting during the day, battery inserting during the evening.

EasyJet must go to Lithuania. Probably departing from Stansted or Luton. We could just fly in, buy loads of batteries at the airport shop, then fly back again.

Authentic Russian items!

Battery placed in shaded area, to reduce possible paint fade and chemical explosion.



And finally, here's a 2000x1388 version of last week's original. Job done. Case closed. Bad guy thrown in back of police truck as credits roll. Columbo walks away, smiling, eating a doughnut full of his favourite filling. A bit of the filling drips on his overcoat but he doesn't notice! Lovely work. Thanks, Alex.

CAST & CREW:
Lieutenant Columbo: Peter Falk
Alex: George Hamilton
Idiot: Patrick McGoohan
Alison: Joan Collins
Inspector Williams: OJ Simpson

Group trip! Where do I sign up? I prefer going by bus though, so we can pause for impromptu break dancing sessions and pillage a few villages on the way.

I'll tell slow local females battery insertion is all the rage in actual countries.

There's some joke here about Lithuania and Lithium batteries, but I'm not funny enough to make it work.

I'm up for it, but I think that we should all pile into the back of an old KRAZ army truck, one of the open backed kinds. Then we can sit around a campfire WHILST IN THE TRUCK, and exchange mysterious tales of battery lore in the firelight whilst on the move. And throw up over the sides when we lick the wrong terminal. Or something the wrong terminal, anyway.

I'm in, although I'd also prefer driving a dilapidated vehicle and a series of ferries to make the 'getting there' more miserable.

Fuck flying. No way am I paying airport prices for a Twix (69p) on the way out.

The name "Lithu"-"ania" literally means battery up the botty in whatever crazy gibberish it is they speak over thre.
