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

Three vintage Lego sets, including a 1999 Sith Infiltrator, one of the first 13 introduced I believe.

For those interested;
7151
7144
7665

All boxed and sealed (nerd), a smidge over £300.

It makes me feel old when someone refers to something from 1999 as "vintage".

Yep, that was only like last week. Not even old enough to mature a good wine.

I love smart lighting and I'm a sucker for coloured hue bulbs and anything that works with Alexa, so I bought this:

I have absolutely no idea where I'm going to put it when it comes, but SHINY!

You cannot repel shiny of that magnitude.

Vintage in terms of Star Wars Lego from the first wave of releases, it only seems like yesterday I was a child unboxing sets at Christmas!

A porcelain pig, described as being of a good size. No idea why I decided to buy this yesterday. I wasn't drinking, but I had forgotten to take my meds so I might blame it on that. It's not even a nice looking pig. I now have the joy of going and picking it up as it was a collection only Ebay purchase. What does one do with a porcelain pig?

Nothing wrong with frivolous pig purchases...

Got a yacht charter coming up in Croatia.

Bought to tie up alongside.:





I suspect not totally "sold as seen"

does it not come with the inflatable flamingo?
That would be a deal breaker for me

I feel you may be disappointed.

I've grown to love my Das Keyboard 4 Pro so much that I simply have to have one for work too, so I've just ordered one (at £140 - ouch).

Out of deference for my colleagues, it's not the full on clickerty-clack Cherry MX Blue keys like my current keyboard; it's the much quieter Cherry MX Brown keys plus a set of rubber o-ring bumpers to make it quieter yet. Hopefully it should be quiet enough for office use.

One of my colleagues has a Corsair silent keyboard with the new Cherry MX Silent keys and it's acceptably quiet, so hopefully mine will be similarly quiet.

Fingers crossed on that, or this count be a rather expensive blunder.

Frivolous purchase? I think it probably qualifies, especially since I also have an older Das Keyboard S with Cherry MX Blue keys on my spare PC which I seldom use (although I think it's too noisy to take to work).

TL;DR - I bought a second £140 keyboard.

The death of my DK4 is what me got started on mechanical keyboards.
Now I've got 3 sets of custom keys on order.

Don't go looking, there's a lot of better and more expensive keyboards out there....

The new lego London bus, finished it yesterday ... total build time was about 4hrs for 1700pieces but wasn't particularly an involved build ... looks nice though!

Would anyone be interested in a frivolous kickstarter/indiegogo/etc of the most top interesting products on there?

(starting a new thread and leave this to the frivolous stuff)

Had a rummage through DVLA's number plate website and ended up buying this because I though it was fun (and cheap!)

I can't help but think it would have suited Murray Walker's car...

Could try offloading it on to Alan Gow of the BTCC.

My Nanoleaf Aurora is here. It's VERY shiny. Love it. I predict many expansions to this over the coming months.
