54 x hue bulbs. Well, if I'm going to do one room I may as well do them all...

Ffs, I balked at the price of 6 e14's.

Lots of fun to be had in a house full of remote controlled bulbs though...

That is every light except the GU10s in the en suite and back porch (which is just used as a dog house). The Mrs doesn't know (I don't think she even knows they're a thing), and would have an absolute fit if she found out how much they cost... But then I've just sold a couple of boats and a car so I'm allowed a treat. Even if it's a secret one. Please don't tell her.

On the plus side, her not knowing means I can have lots of remote control fun when she's home alone. Especially as I'm Hue-ing the sheds too, for halloween/winter fog amusement.

I love this sort of tom-foolery.

Make sure you turn the entire house red. When she rings, answer "Yes Roxanne?"

Bought this today.

Didn't really need it but it was sunny and I'm only home for 10 days.

But I like it.

That looks very rude.

Lovely.

I had the Bose QC20i. Very, very good for flying. I sadly left them on a plane a week ago so I am looking too.

The problem I had with the QC20 was that it was confused by sudden changes in air pressure. It would manufacture a counter-sund, even when it was just a pressure change - creating a sudden loud "bang". This made it impossible to wear on overground trains with the noise cancelling on. However, they were so good, I kept them just for flying (which I do a lot).

I'm going to try a pair of these for a few flights we have coming up:

Thanks for the recommendation - I knew I could rely on this thread to deliver an answer! Will order some today.

Just to follow up on this - very impressed with these. Thanks Aston.

For this price I am very, very interested in these!

Frankly, if she finds out then you'll wish you had bought one for the dog house as well.

My pair arrived in time for a US flight. They seemed to do the job. The build quality feels cheap. The sound quality is acc-the;e for watching films but I doubt it is good enough for a serious music lover.

This looked too cool to pass up

A porcelain pig, described as being of a good size. No idea why I decided to buy this yesterday. I wasn't drinking, but I had forgotten to take my meds so I might blame it on that. It's not even a nice looking pig. I now have the joy of going and picking it up as it was a collection only Ebay purchase. What does one do with a porcelain pig?

Personally, I would do it from short range with an upward shot from a 12 bore and then share the resulting video on here.

Regardless, it has massive win as a frivolous purchase

Get some better pics and relist it to allow other frivolousers the opportunity to express themselves!

DJI Mavic Pro with bits. Jack Daniels made that decision last night.

Oh well. I'll try and not destroy this one.

I'm tempted by the 100Y hoodie.

Made from 100% Kevlar and designed to last a hundred years (hence the name). Probably a gimmick and it's expensive at £230 but if it's genuinely top quality I wouldn't mind paying.

No reviews at all though, and Kevlar degrades in UV so I'm sceptical.

Have this exact one, and I was very impressed, it's much better than its size would suggest!

I like the look of the hoodies that go all the way up the front too...

I don't do a lot of flying, or have any reason, I just fancy one. Is £450 on two hoodies too much?

Oh, come on.

At least 90% of their sales will be to virgins to wear whilst playing Call Of Duty.
