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?

If the link doesnt work do a search on JL for 'Auraglow' . . .
You bugger! Just as I think I'm about to get through a month without a frivolous purchase (other than all big sweet shop jars of sweets I ordered a few nights ago) you've gone and alerted me to the existence of these. 5 ordered. At least it's not a dead thing this time, I suppose.

A pun of such high quality buys my forgiveness and fondness. You're now due a bosey from a big hairy drunk man. Live in fear, it'll happen when you least expect it.

The standard for things like this, a quarter of.

For gifts I can recommend the big hampers, they always go down well.

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.
WJ is useful for roughing out lots of shapes to surprisingly-near finished size. Depending on application you don't even need to tidy the edges. Far quicker than setting a mill up - just find the program, lob in a slab and press Go!
I'm beginning to think I 'need' a 3D printer though biggrin

I totally understand that 'a quarter of' website but I would never buy anything from it.

Bookers Cash and Carry have all of these sweets available and things like chocolate mice, jazzies, chocolate tools, millions, crazy faces, shrimps etc only cost £3 - £4 for a big tub.

First time I went I think I got about £30 worth of sweets and they lasted for ages. I also bought some pink and white paper bags and used to give visitors pick and mix when they left.


I am trying to justify not buying a Galaxy Note 10.1. Already have an Ipad 2 which the wife and I use all the time so I fancy trying an android tablet as well.

I brought a MacBook Air a couple of months ago for no real reason. I was nice to use while on holiday etc but I don't really need it.

Is Booker like Costco and you have to pay to join?
