I love lamp

[something daft already!!]

I'm not a racist, but don't you think that Lava lamps are very relaxing and enjoyable to watch? Highly under rated I'd say and I highly recommend you get one. That is of course, if you can afford to run one.

I seem to have a thing for them lately and am on my 2nd one now. I remember them from the 70's and have always wanted one but never got around to it. I bought one last year and just added a new one. I prefer the new one.

Anyone else like to have one of these on in the evening?



New one:

This photo does not really do it justice, in the flesh, it's a purple background and orange to deep red globs.

Spoiler

I find that when most people start a sentence or thread with that statement, they then go on to be very racist indeed. I thought I would break that trend, unless you think Lava lamp colour is somehow racist.

Why would it be racist,?

It isn't and neither am I as far as I know, that's the point.

I'm not racist, do you watch South Park?

Not for a number of years but I used to when it first came out. I saw one a little while ago and Cartman sounded completely different.

Edit: Not racist.

Mum and dad bought a Mathmos copper coloured lava lamp back in the mid 70s and it's still going strong, my brother has it now. There was a programme on recently which showed how they're made from start to finish and it was utterly fascinating. I'm also not a racist and I wonder how much they cost to run these days because it's not something you can replace with an LED bulb due to them needing heat to work.

Damnit, now I'm probably going to buy one of the baby ones to put in the office.

There are some very reasonably priced and non racist ones at the rainforest.

This is something somebody who hates lamps would say.

Lampist?

Oooh nice. Mine was only 14 quid. That looks very nice though. Hmm, I might have to get one of those ones. That one will probably outlive my cheap one.

Wow! I'll have two of the £2,500. That one for a grand looks amazing too, well they all do.

I hope you enjoy it! I find myself staring at mine when the TV becomes dull lol.

I used to keep tropical fish and yes, they too were entertaining but also quite high maintenance. I had to get rid of my fish and tank when I got divorced about 20 odd years ago. This is much easier and quite relaxing while listening to music or working.

 

[something daft already!!]

Possibly. As a younger man, I would walk my dog down to the local beach and clear up the rubbish and old wood pallets and build a bonfire to burn it. Probably consumed alcohol too. That was an enjoyable experience. I might have to do it again one day. Probably need all kinds of permits now.

I woke up this morning, saw the light,

Not the light from a beautiful new Lava lamp though.
