I managed to talk myself into buying this whilst walking through Horsham one day recently.



Since then I have also bought this one:



And most recently this one (which I am just waiting for delivery on)



The artist is a chap called Mark Davies, and he has some amazingly retro pieces.

'Kin'ell!


I thought of you when I saw this...

I love his comment "Only opened for inspection and fittings"

In other words, "Didn't think this one through at all!"

Yup just did the conversion and the order for me is:

£45 if done via UK amazon link (the jumper ended up being £20 instead of £26) rest as follows:

Item Subtotal: £20.53
Postage & Packing: £17.74
Import Fee Deposit: £7.65
Order Total: £45.92

Arriving:
Friday, November 30 -
Friday, December 7

Didnt want to risk an 11th Dec delivery and save £10 on the Post and packing.

If you buy from the US store it worked out as £48.50 all in.

Expensive but then I intend on keeping it for a while as I do multiple ugly jumper days near xmas and have the other for inlaws and parents Xmas so it doesnt offend too much.

Thanks all. Agreed on the price - I bought a cheap one last year and it's ste. Hopefully this'll last a while

£34 delivered with taxes. 6th - 11th Dec too. Still only a £20 jumper, I'd not bet on it lasting too long!

Not saying I dont have faith in Amazon, but there has been a few times that they have said delivery on day X and its been X+3 days...

My Xmas parties start on the 12th, so cant afford any delays in this so Paid the £11 'I'm not waiting/risking it' tax so that it arrives in time.

True, but a) my last was less than a tenner and b) this is the frivolous thread

Unsure if frivolous, but....something I don't need!...

I just bought a PS4 (1Tb version) incl. 2 handsets and the Spiderman game for my eldest's Christmas present (usually a deal priced @ €369).
The local supermarket offered a massive discount if I also took the €49.99 priced new Call of Duty Black Ops game, so with the applied discount, the packages cost me €299 i/o €418.99!

I wanted a suit and T-shirt, but the sizing available was so vague I just went with a jumper, proper suit for next year.

I went with this one, sizes were confusing but it's actually pretty decent quality for the price!

Very nice Mustang! Did you plan & look for one or was it a proper frivolous look at the internet on a wet afternoon and just get it job!

Been wanting one a while, but all of a sudden seen a lovely red coupe which then ended up becoming a fast back once I thought long and hard, so a £15K purchase became a £35k purchase

funny thing was the wife told me to get the fast back as I would regret getting a coupe!! (she's deffo a keeper!)

Thats perfect.

I saw an advert at the beginning of a YouTube video for a dedicated GoPro-type camera from DJI (the drone people) with integrated gimbal, and thought it looked totally cool. I'm not sure what I would use it for, but it certainly generated a degree of "want" in me.

I presume this is similar only it uses your phone for a camera?

Edit: It looks like it was the DJI OSMO Pocket Lightweight that I saw in the advert.

Yep that would be the new Osmo Pocket released last week that you most probably noticed lots of promotions on Facebook and lots of other social media.

It’s very nice,high quality and very small. It’s also about £330.00

This one was “ only “ £100 and your right it uses your smart phone.

The other ones we have are dedicated for use on our go pro type cameras, which are actually Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 units.

Our first one is the typical Chinese unit by Feiyu Tech,but as it’s three years old it’s getting pretty jittery now.

The one we really want is the DJI Ronin S, so we can use our Nikon DSLR and Olympus Micro 4 thirds czmera.

Will have to start saving!

This would make a great conversation piece in the lounge

I bought a FlowMotion One on kickstarter. It was a year late and i missed 2 years of ski hols.

Now the DJI Osmo pocket is out it looks far superior. I might have to upgrade for le ski without even using the FM1.

Grrr
