Yeah of course it was, there you were just browsing when you got distracted/threatened/scared/dizzy/delete as appropriate and your finger just happened to press the order now button, we all know how it goes, with me it's whisky, only problem is the ones I like are all over £40 a go!!!!!!

Exactly! hehe

My wife thinks I have a problem with collecting, whether that be shirts, ties, blazers, model cars, N64 games etc.

She's probably right. paperbag

Shirts well!
I m of a particular shape - tall and broad but slim.

So finding stuff that fits is tricky- turns out Hugo boss stuff fits like a glove (couldn’t have been something cheaper could it) but anything XL is perfect .

So I bought 20 or so shirts, polo shirts, jumpers etc in the last month or so.

The missus did ask at one point if I d developed a new addiction.

Who makes the best T Shirts? Many years ago I bought 3 very good ones, I think they were 'Sea Dog' or similar - but can't find them anymore.

Well personally I really like Saltrock and Weird Fish, unfortunately the Weird Fish ones don't fit me, M&S do some really nice ones and they fit me really well and at around £15-£18 aren't too bad cost wise!! smile

Buying a brand new motorbike I'm not able to ride was pushing it, but wheels for a car I don't own is even too far for me wink

Good guess, Cupar Luvians got whisky ranging from £20 to £40,000 only spent £58 bought a Black Grouse mainly because it's rather nice and no longer available down South, and a Hanky Banister Heritage blend!! smile

New keycaps finally turned up (ordered in December):



Makes this a fairly expensive keyboard. Frivolous as they replaced a perfectly good set of double shot keys that the board came with.
Where did you buy these, they are very pleasing on the eye...

And a second TV (only 43 inch but 4K) for the lounge along with a leather reclining armchair with massage and heating functionality.

This allows me to make use of the zone 2 functionality on my av unit so the wife can watch some trash on Sky while I play Xbox or PS4

Anything bigger sitting that close just feels wrong for gaming, I can’t see what’s going on.

On the contrary my dear boy, I think you'll find anything bigger firmly lands you in council thread territory. 43" is perfectly adequate for catching up on the days events over a corona and a snifter...
