Cannot unsee that haha

Sisters, where do you find this stuff? I would give up one of the Mrs' kidneys for something like that.

Today I bought a red Swingline stapler. Mainly because I love the movie Office Space.

Yeah... If you could post a picture of that? That would be great...

Sans TPS report cover sheet, but magnificent nonetheless:

Awesome. Didn't they start making red ones purely because of Office Space?

Picked up this for myself.

Now I just need a good set of artists pencils rather than use my sons

I almost bought this too! But I flicked through it and there was no Porsche 911. A glaring omission for me as a Porsche Fanboy... Might still buy one for my son though.

Have a dig around the rpf forums, lots of this type of stuff on there. If you want to build the White armour yourself (and it's not too hard) then you can buy the kits in a few places. Have a look at rs prop masters based in Stockport, they are the rolls Royce of armour casters. Don't buy anything from eBay (it's wildly inaccurate) and in general don't buy any armour without checking with someone in the know beforehand.

Boba is a bit different in that he's fibreglass rather than pic/abs. Makes him more expensive and add to that the paint job needed he comes in at big money. To make your own look at bobamaker who sells kit parts. Rs will do you a complete ready to wear one but it will set you back around £3k. Generally the second hand market is best for boba so again look on the rpf and the dented helmet forums.

The rpf sale boards are a dangerous place. Be warned

2 things Im kind of looking at... I really should stay off kickstarter.

Laser razor... you read that right, a friking laser razor

Not utterly convinced on this one, but looks cool, contactless payment ring

loving the razor - the ring less so but still not bad

[Bullett]

Oooh.

I was trying to kick my kickstarter habit.
Like both of those. Bit skeptical about the razor (but lasers!)

[SistersofPercy]

Having just spent a few days in London I'm loving the ring. I've been tube hopping and don't always carry a handbag so thats ideal. Shame it's such a masculine design at present but might be worth keeping an eye on.

[SeanyD]

Just got one of these, 2 hour charge and claimed 15 mile range, what's not to like.

Okay it's probably manufactured in china out of recycled televisions, but have to say it's very very good fun.

Just bought the 2x package, and going halves with a colleague.

The issue they have, is they have two weeks to show a proof of concept. They haven't shown a prototype working actually cutting hair at the normal pace a razor would be used.

Nevermind mass production for next march!

I have a healthy skepticism on the laser razor.

I've not been burned so far on KS and don't want to start now. Still thinking about it.

Won £1100 on a football accumulator last night, watching this thread with interest.

I have started to acquire some new tools,for my Caterham Superlight build in the new year.

Just had these delivered,,as I thought new car, then new tools right?





Frivolous because I already have loads of spanners, but these just looked cool?

Anyway loved them so much. I have just ordered the full 42 piece socket set to go with them!

If like me, you'll also need new gloves, boots, balaclava, helmet and additional tinted visor for helmet to match the new car. I had perfectly good ones already but that's not the point.
