Dam you man, just ordered one myself! £28 for a key ring, happy new year!
It was delivered about a week ago, used it until today then I've relegated it to the tat drawer, can't get on with it with my car keys! Might try and use it for the house spare key, wasted on my mother when she comes to stay though!

...and she doesn't need a bottle opener!
I'm after one of these. Let me know if you want to sell it...

Ordered two of Guy Martins hats thanks to this thread.

I've never worn a hat.

This probably counts given that I already have a Logitech Smart Control

A product that looks like it was made by B&O and some how is more expensive than B&O! quite an accomplishment.

Horrendously expensive remote control that does the same things all my current remotes do. I want one.

It's $219, which is approximately £150. A Logitech Harmony Ultimate is £160. The Neeo does way more than the Logitech, and it looks nicer too.

The reason it looks so B&O is that one of the founders worked at B&O.

I've got a tan with white stitching and bottle opener that I've never used if you're interested?

I am doing a lot of rib driving at the moment, both at sea and on Scottish lochs.

I have a perfectly good set of offshore spec clothes.

I did however need another drysuit:


http://www.musto.com/sailing-clothing/hpx/hpx-ocea...

Which then meant I needed a couple of drysuit bags to house this one, and my rescue suit.

And then I found I could get embroidered monogrammed drysuit bags
http://www.seaskin.co.uk/acatalog/Bags_and_Pouches...

The trouble then is that my existing kit bag isn't big enough to take two drysuits, two piece offshore gear, buoyancy aid, lifejacket, gloves, two sets of boots, radios, locator beacons etc.

The obvious thing to do then is to buy a bag to take everything, and it matches my new drysuit!

Here we are. Certainly frivolous as I already have a Quartz watch, and I already have an Omega Seamaster (albeit the Planet Ocean). But I don't yet have (or rather, didn't yet have) a Quartz Omega Seamaster.

This one is the model used in Goldeneye, and I love it smile

I did a survey for them yesterday and got a £10 voucher. Feeling another 3 pairs to go this summer.
One set of nice classics (Black with blue lenses)
One set of Mavericks in decent colours.
One set of Mavericks in the worst colour combo ever (drinking glasses so no one steals them).

Did the same. Can't decide what to get.
