You know the thread will take an upturn when you post; always some truly masterful frivolity! Just as well, you've got more space to fill in the new house!
Haha don't even go there. Already planning on buying The Kurgen sword when I get back from holiday.Highlander was one of my favourite movies as a teenager, I adored Christopher Lambert. Went to the Birmingham Comic Con last weekend, met him and got a Highlander poster signed (probably also slightly frivolous) but it reminded me that the sword has been on my want list for a while.
t tbh.

It's about £240-280 usually, so £198 is a very good buy. It's an excellent machine with an almost cult-like following.
Where did you get it for £198 if I may ask?
hotukdeals had it last Friday before it sold out, there was a 10% off code. Comes with £45 worth of freebies that don't add up to £45 too!Where did you get it for £198 if I may ask?

Code still works, but the price is up to £215.09
ETA: 10% not 20% still a decent price though. Just checked my emails and it's been delivered to a neighbour.

That reminded me of the 1980's Kia Ora advert. So I went looking on YouTube and found it. Oh my goodness, talk about racial stereotypes! I don't think anyone would dare run an advert like that today. AndrewCrown said:

We had a couple of these up a few years ago...very effective, but very distressing to look at...or catch a whiff of....true Hell on earth for any insect...
Definitely. I doubt I’ll ever see as much death in one place, hope not. Smells as you say like actual death too. In ours maggots have hatched, doomed to a shorter life than normal of course. We actually worry now that the thing is ATTRACTING more to our house. There must be 10000 flies in there.We had a couple of these up a few years ago...very effective, but very distressing to look at...or catch a whiff of....true Hell on earth for any insect...
I believe it has a strong pheromone smell that attracts the first flies who absorb the material and magnify the smell/attraction, thus attracting more. The advice is to pour it on a compost heap when it’s full, the whole thing is so grim we aren’t sure what to do with it.
Indeed, very very effective.

That’s not frivolous I’ve got one, it’s very good.
Is it good?I am forever buggering about trying to find the ideal coffee... I have a little Gaggia machine for making espresso, and have recently been making filter coffee with one of those cones with a paper filter over a mug.
It's all good - but not exceptional. I could be tempted by a bigger machine and bean to face does appeal.
