I've just checked and it's still on Liberty Island, Manhattan.

Didn't realise how small the wingback was going to be ! Are the any guides for the stitching ?

My Wingback has also arrived and it is lovely - small and very good quality.

Rebuilding the boat kitchen this weekend but couldn't find the drill decided I'll be ok for today, got down there and spotted the silly amount of long screws we used last time and decided sod doing that by hand, quick hot deals viewing and I own this, seems well built.

So much cool stuff in this thread. Love the steak knives and loft room full of lego.

My frivolous contribution:



Ignore my dog Yoda, he is a photo w***e and has to be in all of them. I've already seen GoT's several times but saw the box set in HMV and bought. Will likely never watch but its nice to have. TIE fighter, frivolous? I'm 33 and three quarters so I would say so. But as I said to SWMBO, it was 70% off! Looks like a nice kit too, no glue or paint required. It will go with my vintage collection taking not-so-pride-of-place in our lounge:



Now, I've not bought this yet but I want it so much! I used to be pretty good, not played in ages, have a perfectly good Ibanez GIO, and let's be honest, it is awful....



IT WILL BE MINE, OH YES, IT WILL BE MINE.

Mmmmmm just paid £30 for this framed, because I'm pissed and saw it on a wall in a bar.

Apparently I can download it for free, buy it for much less in a shop in town, and I have to collect it from the .

But I am pissed and it does show me all the bars I can drink in.

Guys, which hubsan quadcopter is the one to get? There's a number of versions with different features
Well I just picked up the x4 with camera. Bugger, was supposed to be having a non frivolous month.
My H107L arrived on Friday and just got round to having a play with it yesterday. It drifts horrendously despite doing the recalibration which is a bit annoying. In spite of that though, it's bloody great fun so I've ordered the crash pack from Amazon and another 5 batteries direct from Banggood.

Not got mine off the ground yet. Too many drift/calibration issues and the instructions are awful!

I'm wondering whether the drift at low level is due to the wash caused by the propellers? It does seem a bit more stable once it's a foot or so in the air.

Re the calibration, the instructions are wrong. A) You don't need to be in expert mode to do it and B) you need to keep moving the stick left and right until the lights flash (not just twice as the instructions state).

I've a wedding to go to on Sunday.

I could probably use one of my existing suits, but where would be the fun in that?

So, for the sake of a couple of hours time, with someone I barely know (its one of my girlfriend's friends) I've bought a Hugo Boss suit, a Jermyn Street shirt and a Liberty tie.

My Wingback arrived today. Quite happy with it though it can't handle a proper wad of cash (8+ notes...)


Shameless I know...

Aww, £50's, how quaint. My butler pops down the mint and picks up my allocation of exclusive £100 notes.

Fair point, I don't usually carry any, I just happen to have a stack currently due to getting a bunch of expenses back in petty cash rather than with my pay...
