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

[Prof Beard]

Picked this up recently (early 1960s edition):



I now know how to drive an old Wolsley with the best of them

3 bob and a tanner, is that how we used to say it or was it just 3 'n' 6, cant remember?

The latter I think.


Good going anyway Prof.

[Prof Beard]

It was "3 n 6"

So does anyone have a desktop cannon?

I've only seen one on American sites for $29, so not exactly that pricey but it is suitably silly.

No doubt in this country would be classed as a firearm and get you 5 years.

I thought the same until I googled it. I spent half an hour watching videos of it destroying various things, am so tempted to buy one, although I can see the initial $30 easily turning into £100 after buying a stload of gunpowder, ammo and targets!

[Pesty]

Guys really, have any of you checked up on this?

I don;t know for sure but I recon they would be classed as a fire arm just like tazors and get you in serious st.

Where are you going to buy gunpowder in the uK?

Make your own, its really not that hard.

However you'll then probably get locked up under terrorism charges...

You can buy propellant, along with bullets and cases - its only primers that are restricted.

A media player and another projector. As I said to my girlfriend when questioned as to why I needed another projector, when Ive just bought a new one and I have two others (inc a massive beamer): you cant have too may projectors!

Ummed and ahhed over one of those for ages but then ended up ordering one of these:


A Pro Trek PRW-5000T-7E

The strap on my PRG0130T is going, and I haven't been able to find a replacement... looks like I could be in the market for a new watch.

Casio have just quoted me £125 for a new strap, so I am seriously considering the Suunto Core All Black!
