Just bought a little set of speakers for my work pc. Have almost no need for them (apart from sneakily watching the F1 qualifying on a Saturday morning). For £10 inc p&p they seem pretty good. They go loud enough to hear whats going on which is the main thing!

My friend has a pair of those, very impressive for the price! Funnily enough the last time I used them it was to stream the F1 hehe

Just a note on the Ugo speakers I got...

Excellent pieces of kit, however if you do go for two and decide to do a linked system (stero ouput), make sure the one you are buying is ver4.2 (has this written on the top) otherwise the aux out socket that is supposed to be there is just a headphone socket on the previous generation and you wont get stereo without a headphone splitter.

The missus wants to listen to the archers from the iplayer when driving and her car doesn't support any iphone connectivity so I bought a Gecho speaker (expecting it to be st and frivolous) because it doubles as a handsfree and it sticks to glass.
Its bloody amazing, great sound and a rubbery body! recommended!

Where are they from? Can they handle a GoPro?

Did the strap come in a larger box than the sleeves for the pen drive and bottle opener?

Mine did, with a cardboard insert that it was screwed into - I'm wondering if you got the 'extra' strap, but not the main strap (you could order 2, with just one screw).

So today as i'm broke and sulking because my focus needs a new exhaust before i can sell it (and it won't bloody arrive until Tuesday so it means that i won't be able to get it sorted this weekend), so i treated myself to these.

I love a small wallet, currently use a metal business card case for cards and folding money.

I have also recently started running short distances and figured that i might as well excuse the purchase as "for the gym" when in fact they are for mooching about during the upcoming trip to Ibiza.

My frivolous purchase of the week, 2 of these:



Got tired of the standard badges on the car, decided to change them to the upgraded option. Of course, I could have done when I ordered it, but that would have been $20 more than ordering the badges separately and doing it myself.

As long as I value my time as being $0, of course.

I've got a few trips lined up, Berlin, Le Mans and Rome, and am sick of lugging even the smaller of my carbon fibre Gitzo tripods around when on holiday, so on the back of this thread on TP, http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/threads/best-comp... I bought this:

While under the influence I am a keen ebayer and on quite regularly have stuff turning up at the door that I have no recollection of buying. Here's the best stuff from the last few weeks.

1. The world cup coins.



2. The Ulster GP signed helmet.



3. A selection of rockets and chinese lanterns.

It's about half the size of a go pro!

They make one with a built in camera that's a little bigger, about £100 from Amazon. Go Pro handling ones are a lot more expensive...
