Interesting bit of kit. Not sure on the legalities for the UK market, but looks fun.

How long does the charge last? ears
I read somewhere around 100 uses and takes 2-3 hrs to charge.

For those who missed out on the WingBack wallet...

www.wingback.co.uk

Ordered mine smile.
They now do two new products, a card wallet, and a travel wallet. Just ordered the travel one for my son, to match his original card holder. Great customer service from the team again, too.
I have the wingback and passport wallet thing too,

Bloody lovely they are. smile

Looks like I need a travel wallet... Unfortunately not frivolous as I genuinely do.... bugger!!

Time to find out just where they deliver too.

Why?
I got given a basic hot tub a few years ago, and the good lady wanted me to paint flames on the side (I happily obliged biggrin )

I was never really convinced by the thing (and it is hardly cheap to keep 1200 litres of water outside at 37 degrees), but it was ace to come home from work at all times of year to find her friends in bikinis sitting there getting drunk together...

The heater element eventually went pop, so it was thrown away. She now wants another one, and said I could buy my friends 600 Hornet if she can have another tub. I think the deal is fair...

Id like one of those, but you do look like a right tit on such a small thing.

And at least over here they'd need a license plate...

Haha, indeed! But I realised a photo of my misses in a bikini on PH is probably not the best idea!
I wondered if anyone would actually notice - perv! tongue out

It should fall into the electric bicycle category, whihc means it'll be fine to use on the highway, but not on pavements.

It's the weird and wonderful stuff like segways and 'hover' boards that aren't legal anywhere in the UK apart from private land.

Ah well, minimal damage it would appear. I was trying to think of a witty innuendo to quote with it but couldn't focus properly on any of them!

Bought myself a new bike...



...I already have two bikes. I really don't 'need' this one but it's too late now.

I also like the irony that I paid more for it than I did for the car that I took it home from the shop in.

Looks like the slowest bike ever made.

It'll probably go faster when you put some pedals on it. biggrin

Haha! Yeah. They're on order.

Along with all the other 'colour coded' bottle cages etc.

I already have a Surface Pro 4 i5, an Ipad Air and a HP Elitebook so I didn't need another tablet. However, I've been trying to get an Nvidia Sheild K1 for some time but as soon as they come in stock anywhere, they sell out within minutes. So yesterday when I got an email from ebuyer advising it was back in stock, I happened to be on a PC and get one, which is being delivered today.

Justification is, I wanted to relive Half Life 2 and this seemed like the ideal device to do it on. I don't care that my SP4 would have done it fine, it's not quite as portable as an Nvidia Sheild K1. Entirely frivolous purchase.
