Knowing how much followers of this thread like some headphone action, it seemed reasonable to drop today's Costco purchase in here.

Quite literally... head... phones.

And frivolous, because I bought some expensive wireless headphones just a few weeks ago.


Yes, I’ve got some of them as well. The battery doesn’t last that long though.

Your only contributions to this thread are to moan. Perhaps there'd be more variety if you posted something interesting?

If you are having a snipe I suggest you look back and see I posted a frivolous purchase picture of a Trump mask. Therefore may I suggest your assumption that my only contributions are to moan are an inaccurate criticism.

When I get some new headphones I will post all about them. .......on the headphone thread you peasant.

Not at all I merely felt the need to point out your error. I then finished with the word peasant in an attempt to lighten the mood. I have no understanding of what emojis mean so wasn’t able to a note my comment with one to make you aware it was a joke.

I’ve never been on Facebook or Twitter or any other social media either as they really don’t interest me so hardly an “internet” anything. Have a lovely bank holiday

Perfect for the thread!

Is there anything special about it or did the seller just know you were drunk and has made 100x his money back on that one sale hehe

Edited to add a word of caution to this. Apparently there were issues with scams related to a similar product. More details below.

I haven't bought, because I don't think I'd ever use it, but I love the idea of this...

Potential Problem Listing

If I could get work to use them, and have a docking station at home and at work, I suppose it would be useful. Not sure how powerful it really is, but if it can run a couple of normal sized displays through a docking station, and have the oomph to have Outlook, PowerPoint and a not-too-heavy Excel on the go, it would do 80% of what I normally do each day.

I signed up to a 100GB a month sim deal today, never going to use most of it, but was a good deal and liked the thought of not worrying about going over, ever :hehe

I was on unlimited for 3 years, only ever use 3 or 4 mb a month. Dropped it down to 30 now to save £3 a month! What a win!

100GB data
£90 cashback (bt cash card)
Unlimited calls
unlimited texts
Free BT sports on mobile
Extra Speed 4G

£25 if non-bt customers, £20 if you are. (so minus the £90 its £17.50/£12.50pm)

Plus used the topcashback site to link to it, so showing a potential further £65 'pending' wink

Link doesn't appear on site when you browse, was posted on HotUkdeals. There were other deals on there but required uploading bills each month and all that, which I really can't be bothered with, so this is quick and easy.

Yesterday I purchased a vintage oak & steel sledge, it was £75 - bargain I think!



Let’s hope it snows this winter......

Alien on 4k Blu Ray. Unnecessary because they regular definition would do just fine, and in a way it's too detailed as you'll see the flaws in the effects. But it's one of the greatest films ever made, so it's worth it. It's crazy to think that when it was released VCRs were an expensive luxury, and now we can watch it in a manner that could never have been envisioned by the people making it, yet it still holds up.

And despite how super your 4k TV is and the quality of your internet connection, Blu-ray discs still eclipse streaming when it comes to quality.
