I bought one and never play games on it, gets used quite a lot though, PS3 media server and Love Film online are great  I will use it for bluray and love film online I'm sure. Need to find an appropriate length of cable to connect it to the router now. I'd forgotten about that!! Edit, didn't know it had wifi. :P

A kilt, my 3rd one.
I have hardly any Scottish ancestry and could only buy it 'cos someone gave me the money, but I love them for sheer comfort if nothing else.

For some reason swissvax has put the price of crystal rock up from £550 to £800 mad price increases across the whole range. I have best of show and a a few zymol waxes probably over a grands worth of waxes, i havent waxed a car for over three years now,and theyve been relegated from the kitchen fridge to the garage fridge. Bloody women,always moaning you cant do this and you cant do that, this is a bloody dish washer NOT A BLOODY parts washer was the latest moan.

He is renowned for spinning a good yarn so it could all be a wind up but I was convinced at the time (and still am). I think the gist of it is as follows:
He is an experienced climber and
my friend didn't take much care in packing his own rucksack. Bit dubious myself because no experienced climber would be blasé about kit.

Reading this thread had made me want to but *something* frivolous....
I'm now yearning for the particular type of satisfaction one gets whe buying something not really needed...

I've not bought anything frivolous for a while now... As someone above said, I think I really need to.
I don't like buying pointless stuff, but I have the itch for a gadget or something...

Arghhhhhh! Well I think you should buy the cd anyway, there is no excuse not to add to your collection for a couple of quid. Out of the rest of the list I would go for NVG's, but that's just me

Reminds me, when I was at uni I spent about 120 quid (a months food money I guess) on a R/C Tiger tank that fired BB's...it was a massive thing too! Went on ebay a few weeks later alas...

Oh, I forgot these to play a practical joke on 2 of the people I work with. 2 x 22's aren't suble enough to leave on the car. However the joke worked better than I could have imagined  They flash white before anyone thinks they are infact blue.  Got another couple to wind up now, so will get some white 4x 3's.

I have a few sets of those. A 2x amber and two sets of red & blue. I made two sets of amber & red and the blues are on a shelf in my garage...
All relatively frivolous.
