Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Talking of the Tay Tay Swift tickets a mate and I tried to get NFL Germany tickets for Miami Dolphins v Kansas City Chiefs. The stadium holds maybe 60k (a guess?) Frankfurt. We were each around 1.5millionth in the queue. Tickets up hours later for around £800 (Cheapest started around £90 and we were willing to pay up to £175 each) Indianapolis Colts vs New England Patriots(popular team over here) went up for sale yesterday, over 2.8million in that queue, too.

I tried to get tickets for the Bills game later this year and had the same. I joined at about 500k in the queue and had no chance. Absolutely gutted as I'd love to see them live but scalpers grabbed all the tickets and had them up on resale sites while I was still in the queue.
 
Stove top coffee pot died yesterday :( So replaced
Drive to use with new phone

Any discount on this? I’ve got a framer but it’s like a shotgun, need something a bit lighter for smaller frames

The brad nailer is more suited to what I do, but the second-fix is similar, more popular, and easier to get a discount on. I had to hunt around for a good deal on the brad.

I picked mine up from ebay during one of their 15% off deals. They have these deals often and FFX, AbbeyTools and a few others often take part. They are easy to spot, when you do a search you see red text next to the item with a figure for the discount you can get by entering a code. I bought mine from FFX with a 15% discount. Came properly packed too, it was a genuine "tool only", rather than a split set. eBay will probably have another sale in the coming months. They happen pretty often.

If you can't get that 15% on ebay then I am afraid it's difficult to find the brad at a good price.

If you want the second-fix then there is a company in Western-Super-Mare called Nuts and Bolts who have a pretty good price right now. They are a good company, I have used them before. I would wait for another ebay sale, though, it won't be long.

I can't imagine spending £800 on a ticket. I suppose each to their own, though.

The UK tickets were ridiculously difficult to get hold of as well, been the same for the past 3 years or so. I ended up paying £135 for a half decent ticket in the next block from my mate because we couldn't get 2 together!
 
Got a 65 inch C2 for £1,119.20, 5 year warranty. Hopefully £95 through TCB and £12 through bank so around £1k if all goes to plan.
Yes the TV unit is waaaaay too small.
Slight pink tint down left but not noticeable unless it's a white screen. Apparently all evo panels have it to some degree. Almost zero banding.

Edit: actually i can see the sense in having a cheap sim only contract, even though i use whatsapp over wifi for 99% of my calls so don't use my mobile network, having 20GB data a month for £6.95 (best deal i can find atm) makes sense, so thx. i've cancelled the satnav purchase.

Yeah. Maps are always up to date. And if you don'timd being without traffic (ie really short on data) you can download maps on WiFi and just have GPS sat nav

I have the entire UK downloaded as I never know if I'll be out of signal in rural areas.

Also, if going abroad I'll download the map too as I use gmaps a lot here as well.

I have a Panasonic plasma St50 42 inch. Bought it in 2013 for around £500. Still got a perfect picture although only 1 hdmi port works now so I've been using a splitter haha

Only replaced as this was too good of a price to pass up and it's alittle too small for the space.

I always wanted the GT50, but it was slightly too big so ended up with the LCD DT50 instead as it came in 47"

Still won't die, although there's not many tv's as thin as that so it's perfect for the bedroom.

Mines a gt30.

Doesn't miss a beat!

I still prefer it to many lcd tvs. Especially the big cheap ones I see mostly in peeps houses.


Was toying with the s95b. But I keeping wanting other stuff. And other stuff always gets priority when you already have a working older model.
 
Got a car key storage solution (when I am in the ocean) yep I know if someone comes tooled up they are in, I have a blank non chipped key also so 2 choices really, but a few times the key has become detached from my budgie smugglers so.....

I've stopped buying gig tickets. Blink 182 was my last foray. It's too stressful, too many presales and early access sales and the official sites own resale sites and who cares. I don't want to see any artist enough to go through that again.

Same with trainers. I wanted a pair of Jordans, and the days of just giving someone money for something are long gone.

The worst thing is with gig tickets the problem is immediately solved by putting your name on the ticket and requiring ID. But they won't solve it because they make too much.

I'm sure they won't miss me.
