My Hubsan was getting a bit battered so I got this to replace it

Do the 6 rotors make it more stable or is it just a gimmick?

(Genuine question, BTW)

That whole website has some spectacularly awesome stuff on it, but I very much doubt the quality is up to much.

If you need / want to go to a fancy dress party, the fighter pilot helmets for £30 delivered are really not too expensive. (Great if Top Gun happens to be the missus favourite film too. wink)

I've not looked into the "intimate goods" section whilst at work...
Ordered a 7" rubber cock. Because people's luggage isn't interesting enough.

It feels easier to fly but it could be down to newer software as much as extra props tbh.

I've got one of those Bosch mutiltools - they are a superb bit of kit.
I fancy one myself - are they any good for making gaps under skirting boards for installing wooden flooring ?

EDIT: Internet says yes - coolio smile
Absolutely - I've used mine for that very purpose and it worked a treat.

I could chisel it out but found I could justify getting one of these.

What model and how much please? Am thinking there must be a reason for me to have one of these...
Cheapest place I found was this place. They had 2 left, now showing 1.

So in an attempt to get in better shape, I've took up swimming. I live local to a pool and can get there for half hour swim each day in my lunch hour. It's only £14 per month for anytime swimming so ideal for me. However, I wanted a way to track my progress. I could have just counted laps each time but instead, I bought a fancy watch that'll do that for me, which can also sync data to a PC or Smartphone for data analysis...

Fitted wood flooring last week, bought a home base powerbase version for 35 quid or so, more than up to the job.

Thanks - ordered one a few minutes after seeing your initial post. Need to hide it from the missus, as although I'm renovating a house and new tools are seen as an indulgence. *sigh*

Ok ok, I know I am a fool, and yes moment does seem to drip through my hands!

But even I have resisted the urge to buy one of these frivolous items!

I think I may be in trouble for this one...

It's a real motor, motorcycle tank and everything.

10% off with this 9NNMOTOR

Convert your push bike to a whole can of £$%^ing Awesome




£70 delivered from the UK warehouse. Never before has something frivolous been completely necessary!


Edited by CubanPete on Friday 14th August 20:13
That is not only awesome but spectacularly/suspiciously cheap (delete as appropriate). So tempted but I assume I would be fairly swiftly in for a tugging for a multitude of offences (especially as I have no motorcycle entitlement on my licence!)
Got this thing up and running yet?

Now, if you could just tell me how to switch the bloody thing off please? biggrin

I know you are supposed to press the on/off button, but it never really seems to switch off and has a spazzy turn of static noise and vibrations every ten minutes or so. Weird.
Weird indeed. Just switch mine off and switch off BT on my device, job jobbed.

Good gadget. I like that.

I have a Tom Tom multi-sport cardio which does swimming, heart rate and gps for running and cycling.



For some bizarre reason it won't track heart rate indoors... So is useless in the gym and classes
