Power cable would do my head in.

The cable showing qualifies it for the "these pics make my teeth itch" thread.......

Could try offloading it on to Alan Gow of the BTCC.

Does he have a stammer?

No. I think he's got a Porsche.
It'll look good in the bad number plates thread

Yep, hands up, the cable is st. In my defence I was still playing about with positioning and the power attachment can plug in to any one of the individual triangles. Have now moved it over to a bottom triangle and dropped it down behind the plant now I'm happy with it all

I really like the Nanoleaf stuff, would look great anywhere. Shame i's be murdered by the OH if i spent that on lights.

I haven't actually told him how much, but he's just spent £100 on Marty McFly's camcorder from BTTF so we're even hehe

Link please...!

(I might be looking at AliExpress handheld game thingys, which seem preloaded with all the stuff I played as a kid. Might be useful on a long train journey...)

It's an original 80's one he's bought from a forum, sadly not widely available, still works as well apparently. Giant box sat here beside me as he's not home from work to open it yet, though I'll get a pic when he does. He's now talking of putting a mannequin in a hazmat suit and the camcorder in it's hand.....

My Nanoleaf Aurora is here. It's VERY shiny. Love it. I predict many expansions to this over the coming months.

I'll have a "P" please Bob

I got confused, I thought you meant the BBC educational kids show Dark Towers at first...

Nice. I used to own (one of) Jason Bourne's screen worn black coats from Bourne Supremacy. Matt Damon has remarkable short arms.

Titanium Sporks from AliExpress:



About £1.91 - £1.95 with free delivery. (Slightly lower price on the app.)

Free delivery seems to be for 1 item only. And you can't just do 4 orders of 1, one after the other.

But you can get one yesterday and one today with free shipping on each...

(Hopefully tomorrow and Sat too, as I could use 4 for the whole family.)

what websites do people see stuff like this to buy from... to both JAYB and Ben?

[Justayellowbadge]

www.vipfanauctions.com

www.propstore.com

VIP are doing the Dark Tower sales at the moment.

Both run auctions on eBay regularly.

Propstore have an upcoming big auction, with a free viewing of a huge range of props coming up at IMAX Waterloo.

Had a rummage through DVLA's number plate website and ended up buying this because I though it was fun (and cheap!)

I can't help but think it would have suited Murray Walker's car...

Haha that's great!

Today I received a piece of a retired Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747-400 in the form of a luggage tag. Cost me $40 and £15 in fees, but I'm very happy with it.

I bought an old pinball machine when I purchased my first ever house.
I couldn't believe how noisy it was and the vibrations it made through the floor, you don't notice it in an amusement arcade environment, must have hacked the neighbours off no end!

Just what I need, Thanks. I manage to get through the plastic ones at quite a rate so a sturdy set it perfect. I managed to buy them one after another but completing payment before going back to re-order.
