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

How about a left handed electric bass guitar?

I am not left handed, do not play the guitar let alone a bass guitar, and do not have an amp even if I could play the guitar.

Saw it in a gun shop in Norfolk and had to have it. Semi automatic compressed gas BB gun in vintage Colt .45 flavour. Completely pointless buy.

In a similar vein...




eta: they are just bb guns, nothing serious and bought before everything had to be marked brightly coloured

Bought a Squire Telecaster the same as this a few weeks back in Brighton, gotta try and learn to play the thing now.

You utter pervert. Machine porn Not the most rigid machine in the world but possibly the most useful, apart from a 5-axis CNC centre or a 3D printer. Oh, and a water-jet cutter...

A water jet cutter wouldn't be very useful really... Can just create profiles the same as you can on a milling machine... Only less accurately.

A little CNC machine would be the most useful. Preferably 5 axis, or at least 3+2 axis.

Brought this back from Madrid, might take a while to get through though....

Always wondered - how much does a whole one cost? i know it depends on age/quality etc but ball park?

Just bought a supercharged old Jag, no real need for it and shouldn't be spending money on such things....

Of course you should, You are now the custodian of a fine automobile! If you didn't have it it might fall into the hands of a scrote who could mistreat it...

Haha, well i'm owner number 4 in it's 16 years and the previous guardian was a lovely retired guy who'd had it for 6 so yeah, you've got a point maybe! It's far to nice to be ruined by a cretin

Mine was 60 Euros, but or course I had to buy the stand, and get a new knife for it.

There were ones from 30 Euros and all the way upto 200 Euros, a bit like whiskey then...

WTF are they? Hams? They look like the dodgy euro-meat you get in the fridges in Lidl...

Oh dear!! I fancy these are next on the frivolous list. Does anyone know if you can control two of them with one remote, ideally at the same time?
