More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..
Discussion
I recently purchased the Bose Q25 and they really are impressive; they were on special offer in Best Buy (US) when I was on holiday butty the time I got there the were back up to $329 so I tried the Bose outlet store and managed to pick up a factory refurbished pair for £140 which I was more than happy with.

Just need a suitably cheap screen. Anyone recommend a freestanding screen?Russian submarine clock. Slightly drunken purchase it must be said. Saw an expensive one in a trendy shop then found this on line later.......
I know that it probably never graced the metal walls of a Soviet sub because there seem to be many more of them around than there were Soviet submersibles BUT if this one is totally fake then it is outstanding.
It has knackered luminescent paint on the hands that looks frightening, the mounting lugs are broken and there's traces of green paint on the back of the case. Oh and it weighs 2kg.
Also it keeps time.

Sublimely cool if it is genuine and still cool if not!

Did you put it up while drunk as well?

Cheers all I'm particularly pleased actually. As far as my research can discover it was made in 1978 so since the war was pretty cold around that time I'm calling it genuine, probably not from a submarine but stock or a spare from a time when it might have been. The recent modern copies some in cardboard boxes that reference The Hunt for Red October and the clocks have "Made in Russia" written on them.Sublimely cool if it is genuine and still cool if not!

Or if you do check out radium first.
Its because of that stuff and an old compass I got my username.
I managed to inhale some a few years ago, still waiting to see what damage has been done.

Holy st.
What's the story behind that? It can't be that straightforward!
Just me being a prat dealing with stuff I didnt understand. What's the story behind that? It can't be that straightforward!
I had taken apart an old compass and was cleaning it up on a wire brush sander and polisher, sending bits of the stuff flying into the air.
Stupid thing to do and I'm no doubt going to pay for it.
