My OH and I don't need another camera. We already have a Canon 7D and 5D3. She doesn't like sharing.

So we've just ordered another 5D3.

And a 25-105L lens to go with it, even though we already have one. She really doesn't like sharing.

And a 70-200L F4 IS lens as the 100-400L is too heavy.

And a 1.4x extender as 200mm isn't long enough. Fnarr.

And just so I'm not left out, I've also got a 16-35L F4 for myself and a cheeky little 50 F1.4.

I'm just glad we didn't get carried away. smile
Good to see people getting into the thread hehe

I fancy one of these, I'm having trouble justifying spending 700-odd quid on it....... but the controller looks bloody cool!

No need for it what so ever. I've already got a watch.

At risk of invalidating the frivolity though, the sleep tracking and sonos control possibilities will be useful.
I've just gone for one of these too. Completely frivolous as my PO never leaves my wrist!
yes

Shiny + Kickstarter + not really needed = yes

Crappy insta-image, but a Tesco pricing error forced me to buy this..

Available online ? Would be ideal for a friend's son

Possibly, it's a Nerf Mega Thunderbow, although I suspect the pricing error may not carry over to online.

I'll be popping back into my local store to pick the other one off the shelf if it's still at the same price...

£7.50!!

From THIS thread:

DJRC said:
Stupid isn't it? As is £900 for a travel bag/suitbag - but...

Blokes don't actually have that much to spend money on. By and large we don't really do clothes. We don't really do shoes or bags or hats or etc etc etc. At best we tend to have one good "proper" pair of stuff and then only really because we think we should. By our very nature blokes generally aren't into frivolous stuff. Hell my wife even has more gadgets than I do- I had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the i world and I downloaded my first mp3 before she was even legal to buy a pint!

So if a chap decides to go and buy something frivolous that he will probably look after, keep and use for 10yrs and just have one of them then I say sod it, do it and live a little. Life can't be all worthy/ value for money drudgery - and I say this as a Northern miser!!
Those of us in here must not be most blokes hehe

What variety is that then or can they all control your Sonos?

I thought I was getting a pay rise so bought a new IPad Air as my iPad 2 is getting laggy. Didn't get the pay rise, hey ho!

I have not seen the film. Is that a Judge dredd motorbike and does it actually move under it's own power?

I'd been reading about this, http://www.tiggit.com/kronos/ gets mixed reviews but worth a try!

Already got a pressure gauge plus there is one on both of the foot pumps but this one lets you set the front and rear tyre presets into the memory and use the deflate button to lower it to the saved level.
