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

[slomax]

I bought a some Hotwheels cars the other day. I don't care what people say. They are just as fking cool when you're older as when you're 7 years old.

Yes, but it's a quadcopter that you control with your phone. With your phone!! That's proper 21st century!

I like this, maybe a bit excessive for an oil change. Or is it?

These things are horrible to drive on, one of my colleagues managed to crack the front bumper on a Cupra K1 putting it on one of these. When the ramp meets falling point it just goes down with a bang, makes you a bit edgy when driving onto it.

Don't really use my Ipad, so am struggling to justify to myself let alone the OH why I need one!

Is that not just an iphone?

Introducing 'Bump'






Brought him home last night and after charging he spent an hour arguing with furniture that wouldn't get out of his way. Its so determined to get where it wants to go, it reminds me of my mothers tortoise which assumes if its head can get though a space its body can as well.

'Bump' spent 5 minutes trying to work out how to get under the sofa before he gave up and just rammed his way under. It It worked and he was delighted to be scurrying around under there. Smart git couldnt get out though, so it let out a pathetic whiney beep and demanded to be rescued.

What is this? What does it do? What is the product name? Where do I get one?

Not available for UK shipping unfortunatley (as its sold in the US at least), but all are available individually if you look hard enough.

I just need to pick up the canvass roll from somewhere!

In Apple nomenclature the iPhone 6 will probably be launched as the iPad Nano.

Seems like a decent deal.

Guessing its not going to be the best crossbow for the price.

Wonder if it would penetrate a skull?

Already got a Normal RC helicopter. Not actually too bad with it. Still I don't see how they can charge £275 for that app controlled one.

And it's got two cameras....clearly money well spent

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.

[wibble cb]

Its 1:8 scale, so about 20cm wide and about 35 cm long, and weighs about 10lb.....not sure where I am going to put it, or how long it will take to finish the build someone else started !

I bought an Acer projector, which I certainly didnt need. In my defence though, I have a massive CRT RCF 'beamer' and an InFocus LCD projector already, but the beamer is a massive PITA to set the convergence up on and then Id be afraid to sit under its 35kg deadweight, and the InFocus doesnt cope very well with widescreen.

More frivolous was a 50 litre compressor. Currently in my spare bedroom, polished and shiny and all Ive used it for was to inflate some new tyres and play with a sheet metal snip. My neighbours are confused by the airline running out of my window...
