Images of items I have purchased.

[DEL 707]

Throw away that cable lock, worse than useless and can be broken open by hand. I had that exact one. I found it on the ground where my bike was previously

Nate

I actually on my way back to Halford to return it, just went to use it and 1 of the number rings is broke!

As a brand, I personally would recommend ABUS, they only produce a minimum of silver "sold secure" locks as far as I remember

New grips for my bike

Made by a fairly local company to me "UberBike" in Rotherham, for the price they are fantastic quality, much better than the ones that came on the bike from Ridgeback

 

[DEL 707]

....general rule is your lock should cost around 10% of the value of the bike

Took what you said to heart, when I got back to Halfords, I decided to spend a bit more cash.

The anti-theft guarantee is 4x what I paid for the bike.

My big Tiffie arrived today from Hattons (pre-ordered for £72 inc delivery).

Just opened it and all good apart from the usual canopy distortion and a small crack where the canopy attaches to the sprue.

Email to Airfix on way.

Otherwise, happy bunny.

Do you have to paint it?

 

[plasmahal]

Do you have to paint it?

Yes....

It has to be built and painted.

That's all part of the fun.

 

[Kosmiche]

Do they have similar quality kits that are pre painted? I'm confident I could assemble it but I'd be crap with the painting.

152mb (upto) of Broadband goodness, alongside a phone line and TiVo thingy from VM. Installation on Tuesday having ordered over the phone today which I was quite impressed with*.

And is that true?

Not for me as I don't have the time

I have a lovely Tamiya Matilda II sitting gathering dust. I want Pieman to make it for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bought general furnitures. Thought id post an update for those that were worried i was going to wreck the apartment by filling it with stuff.

i do HAVE a lot of stuff but i think its well contained. Happy with the utilisation of the space under the breakfast bar.

Have a very large, Crow, Magpie and Jackdaw population that all choose my Tv Aerial as their early morning meeting place and general bog. I have tried hanging Cd's off it to no avail so im trying this (Visual Scare feathered Crow), as per-instruction hung upside down.

Yes, it is very good!
As good as anything I have played on performance wise and better than any TN I have seen but no match for a good IPS obviously.

There are more pictures and info in the Asus and G-Sync threads.

Is that the Rod Hull edition?

 

[Maccapacca]

Isn't that what they used to do with pirates?

 

[traveyb]

That's pretty freaky, would scare me away from knocking on the door!

 

[DirtyJester]

No, they made them walk the plank
