I'm not expecting a lot, I just fancied a toy.
What could possibly go wrong with that?

Interested to see your review when it arrives.

Thanks I thought so too, although I have to say I was not quite expecting it to be so big!

As you can see the vault/chest almost covers half the kitchen table, so it pretty massive, I was thinking it might be about the size of a large show box, but it must be four times that!

Only problem of course is that Mrs P, now wants to know exactly where I am going to store it!

Ultimate frivolity for not mentioning that the shipping was twice the price of the product! wink

I've also 'expressed an interest' in the Storm, time to move on from Apple life support.

Although a 5.5" screen is chuffing enormous.

That was my point exactly!

And the reality was that price shocked me too, but it also covers upfront freight on board and customs excise duty pre paid, do no messing with the post office and the exorbitant add Ons for customs fee and their ludicrous " service " fee!

And the fact that it was delivered from Illinois USA in just three days, seemed almost acceptable!

Yep me too, it just looks and feels so cool, and very real retro, if that's such a thing!

I've felt the need for a big fk off skull ring for a while now.

So as I was central last night I popped in to The Great Frog for one of their Anatomical Skull rings.



I love it.

Nice watch. I have an Aerospace, the Emergency was too frivolous.

The missus has an IPhone 6 plus, it doesn't feel that big tbh.

But then I'd happily have a 7" winphab if anyone made one. Would be all the device I needed.
