Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

A shaving bowl.



Meant to create lots of lather when shaving. I suspect in my case, it'll create lots of mess. Still, it doubles as a place to put the brush and razor.

Do you have a link for that please?

Fancy keyboard for my iPad, I have a macbook and a PC should I need to do any substantial typing, but the macbook is all the way over there, 3 feet from me. Surely I need this?! No?

For sheer pointlessness that is excellent work chap. What next, a cord for your mobile?

F*ck.


Well, at least it's another teenage kick itched, for under a tank of derv for the Rangie...

I realise I keep posting on here about console games, but last night I reached a new level.

Realising it was the only one i hadn't ordered from blockbuster i decided to drunkenly ebay assassin's creed 3 and got into a bidding competition.

This morning i woke up to a notification that i'd won an auction for both assassin's creed 3 and brotherhood....on PS3. I have an xbox.

Anyone want to buy some games? It seemed a good deal at the time

ETA: i did at least manage to buy the assassin's creed 3 join or die collectors edition for the correct console at the same time unfortunately I'm still "winning" on 3 other auctions for the same game. Ebay should have a drunk test!

Several different colours, or you can ask for something specific.

I bought a mame cabinet on eBay, picked it up yesterday, my 4yo is loving metal slug.

There are purchases on here that are awesome. Not what you don't need (evidence above)

Just buy a PS3 it's the PH solution then buy a giant plasma screen to go with it.

Hurry, it wont be long before other manufacturers catch on, you heard it here first!

I ordered one of these earlier in the week;



After I got stung on customs charges, I have buyers remorse. It came to £70 in total. That's £10 per inch.

It's not as cool as I thought it was.

Especially after seeing this:

I've been wanting to buy one of these for ages and have decided I will just bloody buy one. Especially as it now supports USB 3.0

It's an external HDD caddy. So far, so ordinary. But its USP is that you can store all your ISOs on it, select the one to mount via the little LCD and buttons, and then whatever you plug it into will think it is an external CD/DVD drive with the ISO mounted as a loaded disc.

or instead of getting something like that, just get demon tools to mount iso's onto a virtual drive.........

Grifo?
Rivolta?

That's a suggestion that has no place in a thread like this.

Anyway, I've already bought it. Just need to decide on a drive to put in it. 1TB seems excessive so I'll probably go for that.

Just to be safe really; the Xbox may pop so it would be nice to have a PS stashed away, just in case.

Then you can connect it to your xbox and completely ignore it.

Indeed.

Edit: although in this case I may actually use this. Occasionally.

The solution to the problem nobody ever had!
