Selling my water rower which was a frivolous purchase about 6 months ago.

Not sure what to replace it with next.

IIRC the consensus was that you shouldn't loose money on it....

You have a better memory than me! I don't remember posting I was selling it.

I got offers last time and they were of the right amount but I was away for 3 consecutive weekends and to be honest didn't get myself organised to meet anyone and do the deal. I've put on more weight since then and the machine looks at me mockingly. I can't stand it.

Some better pictures of our new Half Life 2 Head Crab Zombie.

Funny the things you never notice or take for granted though, until now I never realised the head crab legs were inserted into the Zombies body!

lol - not that you were selling, more that were you (unless it was another person has also bought one) to tire of the frivolity of it that it wouldn't end up being a costly exercise (so to speak)

He appears to be doing a Jimmy Hendrix style solo on the air guitar.

I've also come into possession of a set of shiny Bilstein shocks. For an Alfa 147.

I've never even sat in one.

Anyone own an Alfa?

Ordered my 3D printer well over a year ago.

Someone tried to deliver it today smile

No-one was home frown

And they wouldn't leave it with a neighbour as I have import tax to pay. frown

They'll try again tomorrow though, and the wife will be in all day smile
I reckon that's a disaster waiting to happen buddy!

For all the stuff I order from far away continents, I always make sure I am at home to pay the duty fees if applicable,!

Why you ask, well if Mrs P realised how much most of them actually really cost, let alone the duty charge too, my life would not be worth living!

Ok, so I did need some wheels for the car. But I did not need, custom 3 piece split rims ;-)







The colour combo may not be to every ones taste, but I hope they look great on the car. The wheels where made by force racing.

This quadcopter from Banggood, the fabulous warehouse of tat!

Claims 30m range, I'm hoping for up to 5m. Cheapest quadcopter I have ever bought, and I very much doubt it returns to you when you press the "fly into the fireplace" button.

Where from? Going for a car / vehicle related theme in our boys room and the SL one would fit in well.

Because pocket squares are always frivolous. biggrin

Nice, I have this in my top pocket currently.

Nice design. I mentioned on the 'Show us your shoes' thread that amazon30 code gives £10 off CT online. wink

My two cheapo (<£5 each) pocket squares arrived and they were actually quite decent. As such, I've ordered another eight.
