A bit of a teaser here:
Depending on how a viewing goes this Saturday and depending on what things I can sell quickly enough to raise cash, I might soon have the biggest, oddest and certainly most frivolous purchase ever seen....
Someone's sold you a bridge, haven't they? Depending on how a viewing goes this Saturday and depending on what things I can sell quickly enough to raise cash, I might soon have the biggest, oddest and certainly most frivolous purchase ever seen....

I already own a Logitech Squeezebox Classic pluged into the HiFi, but saw this and thought it looked like a bargain. Its the same as the Logitech bluetooth adapter at twice the price, and this is only £17.
Plugs into the amp and is now streaming Qobuz from my Surface Pro or my phone. Sound is bloody good too.

Cheers for the idea. Birthday present for me from my dear sister now sorted. Plugs into the amp and is now streaming Qobuz from my Surface Pro or my phone. Sound is bloody good too.

Does anyone know if you can get a USB to power cable for these. I'd love to be able to run it off the HiFi USB port and have it power up with the device.
Wanted one of these for years but have no real need for it apart from casual gaming and occasional visits to Second Life.
I was espousing it to a friend who also goes onto SL but who also heavily uses Blender (ie. has a much better justification for one) and ended up instead convincing myself.
£95. Arrives on Tuesday.

I raised my own personal frivolity bar last night.
I managed to buy a Go Herdwick/Herdy sheep in the online auction.... anyone who has been to the Lake District in the last 18 months should know what I'm on about.
http://www.goherdwick.co.uk
Some of the ewes were going for up to £20k... so had to limit myself to a lamb.
I bagged Judge Lamb Herdwig

For a lot more than I was hoping. £1400! For a sheep! Good to have a piece of Lakes history though

You should just rent one for the night, like the Welsh do... much cheaper

Did something very similar myself a few years ago...King Bladud's Pigs in Bath. It's a great talking point!

Excellent! These began life many years ago as the Space Orb - I had one for playing Descent. Took a while to get used to it, but it was like nothing else.

So, I haven't bought a bridge or a tank or a giant statue.
In fact, though I wanted to, for a couple of complicated reasons I haven't bought this outright either.
So for now I have entered into a joint project syndicate on....
The last Sea King ever made
Built in 1990, written off in 1999, stored for many years and finally scrapped in 2013 with only the cockpit saved.
Look out for a thread soon in Boats, Planes and Trains
