Your frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need...

Fully frivolous, a 1/4 scale Boba Fett.

Randomly bought this when on holiday recently for no other reason than I wanted it:

You randomly bought a gigalo

[cathalferris]

Just picked up a Chromecast.
I've already got a PS3 under the smartTV (but the TV doesn't have Netflix..)

I really don't need it.. but it's such a shiny toy...

[jimmyjimjim]

PS3 does have netflix, though.

And has a better picture than the chromecast for netflix.

So yes, very frivolous.

Good doorstop, though .

Slightly cheaper today, it was £34.01 when I bought it. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long to arrive, it'll probably arrive after Christmas given that it's coming via free shipping from China.

Oh well.

That's the one that I have, a good build, you'll need a sharp knife and a decent screwdriver otherwise the screws round.

Netatmo weather station.

Will sync up nicely with the WeatherPro app I use Cloud recording, indoor CO2 levels etc

Definitely frivolous, but definitely cool

More details required please, Mrs Cjelli is a teacher and really shown an interest in this for her school.

Anyone got any alternative suggestions for weather stations? The one box, integrated app nature of this seems ideal.

this is my first purchase from this thread! Really like the live weather map feature and round here (San Jose, CALIFORNIA) there are loads of them!

[Dan_1981]

Ooooh tempted by one of those. Will replace my Maplin special that I've had for the last year.

I never knew they done a V8?!?!

I got the 4 cylinder one for my birthday, but now I must have the V8. Hmmm wonder if It would arrive before Christmas...

Find a 'Menkind' gadget / trinket /man cave shop. That's where I got mine.

Well I didn't think it was frivolous, and it was for a good cause.
Can anyone tell me what the capped inlet/outlet pipe is for?

Presumably to switch between straight through side pipes and the standard muffled exhaust system?

I looked at this and to me (with admittedly limited knowledge) it appeared to be an American pushrod V8. Whether this matters or not is of course down to individual preference.
