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

[skene]

I just spend £30 on a Christmas jumper that has 4 reindeer humping on it. Planning on wearing it on a night out, but will probably be binned after

Phil, Sir,

That beats them all, I have lived in the States for a wee while, where they like to decorate (me too ).

This is now my mission - more lights 'is nuting' (sic) (vague Godfather quote) size is everything - just got to get planning permission now .

Just bought this 18" machete, I have no use for a machete, but just incase I do.

It was only 8quid, and it's allegedly - according to reviews, a good one!

A Clulite Master Light Supreme Gun Lite

It's amazing with a 200m focused beam and a great gun mounting system.

I don't have a gun, and have no intention of getting one

It reminds me of the snow level in the game Banjo Kazooie.

That looks like my snowman, same height and the same price. Mine came via Amazon.

You'll also need a lamp to light it. And some big stakes for the ground as the ones they supply are useless.

$850 in the US. If the blower is dual voltage, you could do well selling them on ebay.

Just Bought this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ryobi-TEK4-RP4020-4V-Dig...

I rolled the Caterham over my old multimeter, and did not want to spend a fortune.

Seriously for £34.00 Inc the Lithium Battery and Charger whats not to like.

Its well rugged too, only thing missing is a nice carry case, will have to have a search for one of those.

Now I am on a mission with this whole Tek4 Lithium range and have just ordered this too:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RYOBI-4V-RP4030-INFRARED...

Talk about frivolous purchases, I can see me getting the whole Tek4 Range at this rate!!

Hardly frivolous Nigel. The gun light for a fellow who doesnt own a gun, on the other hand...

Agreed, but I really did not need either of them, just wanted them, so frivolous in my book!!

One of these has just arrived in the post and its brilliant!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Eye-Fi-Wireless-SDHC-Memor...



Wi-Fi SD card, works perfectly and is jammed full of features.... a great deal on Amazon too.

Only took 10mins to register and set up.

Great gadget

You see its not just me, I got one of those too, oh yeah and then I bought a new Nikon D600 to put it in last week!!

[Du1point8]

Hmmm... how does this work... I need a new gadget, does it work in normal DSLRs/tablets, etc?

I have been looking for a way to have a tablet running 64GB of memory, but with memory card space and this would be ideal to swap and change 1-2 GB files with my storage system at will.

It should fit/work with anything with a full size SD card slot - there is a compatibility checker on the eye-fi website. Mine is running in my Nikon D3100 DSLR - the camera Fw even recognises it as a wifi enabled card and lets you play with upload options

Its got a natty feature that allows it to delete/overwrite media once the card gets to a certain % full, but only overwrites media that has been successfully 'offloaded' to the computer or cloud service.

The Pro model will also create its own wi-fi network for instantly sending media to other devices around it, like I say for £50 its a very good buy.

I walked in to my local electronics store here in NL and they wanted over €200 for it off the shelf.

Im thinking outside of the box, but I want to see if I can get a class 10 one for my go pro hero 2 and then see how it works... no need for the wifi adapter from go pro then.

Looks like fun
