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

[chrissull]

Bought a 4K TV. Was very happy with the TV I already had, but this one was bigger and 4K so why not.
Ended up needing a new stand too as it wouldn't fit on the one I already had.

Didn't need it, but Im in Finland so thought it would be rude not to add to Finnish knife collection, plus it was supposed to be 75 Euros, reduced to 38 Euros, so job done.



Now just need to find a use for it that doesn't get me into trouble again... OH caught me using one of the hunting knives to cut up my steak with last time.

Were you in Prisma? The Marttini's always seem to be reduced in Prisma whenever I am in Finland.

This just makes me want to find a decent club down here so I can get mine out of storage.
Just be careful with arm positioning when you start to shoot it, those things rip the skin off so easily (no not me, one of the semi pro shooters I knew many years ago managed to add a rather fetching bruise and scar because she got distracted!)

I probably need a new string, and will definitely need to get the kit for changing it myself, hmmm must resist....

Was in Helsinki at the factory shop as we arrived to late in rovaniemi to look at the factory shops there.

Needed some new hiking boots and these Brasher Hillwalker 2 are perfect :



What's frivolous I hear you ask? The additional two pairs I bought At £60 it felt rude not to

Is that the usual position of the soundbar? Doesn't it get in the way of viewing the screen?

It looks fine to me unless he sits on the floor.

[RedWhiteMonkey]

It could just be the angle the photo was taken at but that looks like it would annoy me.

[The Nur]

Mine sits similarly infront of my TV (differing makes/models aside) and it does get in the way of the remote.

Thankfully the soundbar remote operates the TV too and the sky box is below so other than having to hold my wrist at an odd angle to turn the TV on the impact of the soundbar's positioning is negligible.

The plugs and wires on the left would do my nut in though.

it was the inside of the elbow that was got. if you hold your bow arm out as if you are going to hold the bow, look at how your elbow is, i have to bend my arm out slightly in order to avoid catching myself.

Retro F1 t-shirts 3 for £12.50 delivered.

Listed at £7.49 each but you get £9 off at checkout.

Meh, seem to be too late as the £9 isn't being deducted any more

I bought that tv and have it on a butchered dvd storage thingy from ikea. annoyingly if i put the bose centre speaker right up against the tv the remote doesn't work. It now sits just away from it but is about 15mm too high. will have to look at raising the tv slightly or mounting it on the wall. Seeing cables does annoy me.

Got a £25 gift card for Amazon and want a set of over ear headphones. Are these the best I'm going to buy for the money ?

Google NFAS, EFFA and Archerygb. All 3 have club finders so you can learn safely. I wouldn't tell them you have this though.

As for clubs near bedford, there are plenty.

Just don't get me started on shops thst sell this kind of equipment.

Hint: The microSD port is under the rear cover, which removes quite easily. Its not (I repeat NOT) inside the small SDish sized hole on the exterior case

Ive bunged a 32GB miniSD in mine, well chuffed with it - thanks the the poster who linked it up originally!

Best place for it. The sd card on my asus transformer goes in the side and it's been accidentally ejected a few times.

I have the 201's and found them a bit hard to drive from a phone and tablet fine on a amp but I have 595's and 650's so pointless. Bought these in sainbury's yesterday for £16 and easier to drive. Not broken in yet but on a par sound wise. Bit more bass that the 201's to.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDRZX310-Foldable-Hea...


The 201s can be a bit tight and pinches part of the ear, bit sore after a while. The 202s look a bit softer on the ear I'd be tempted with those worth a punt.

Those who wanted the HP stream 7 may be worth looking at the linx 7 as its £60 on eBay. Same processor and clockspeed, same size batter only a 2mp camera but has HDMI out

Tempted for vagcom.


I hope windows opt free OS for desktops after this tablet trial.

i know of 2 kind of near me, one only shoots indoors for a large part of the year tho, kind of defeats the purpose only shooting 10-20m.

when i got mine it came with a vhs (yes it was that long ago), for a laugh at the club we put it on, i now wish i still had it, best insomnia cure ever!! the chap barely changed his tone at all.
