Yeah they are raved on about a lot the jellyfish lamps, and i seen the lava lamp on the webby too and i'd be a fool not to indulge so went ahead!

@Psycho Sonny, I remember when you argued to me that i brought beverages in cans instead of bottles, once explaining in a quite civil way why. You didn't reply again. You do not need to post here with negative comments, I brought this for £85 yes. You seem to go on at people a lot if they don't spend their weekly wages in pound stretchers. Everyone has a right to opinions, but being very opinionated how one spends money isn't non of your business.

Can't wait to get these in the post though and get them set up, no doubt leccy bill go up though haha.

The Telstar Rocket lava lamp is cool. I must get a replacement cap for my Astro baby lamp.

Noooo lava lamps are so retro and retro is definitely moving out of being cool, with retro t shirt prints being seriously uncool IMO.

i just thought its a bit much for a multi coloured lamp.

does it actually do anything special or just change colour?

Ahleckz · 14 Nov 2011 at 23:09

I hate myself, but I'm with Sonny. £85 for a multicoloured lamp, that doesn't look good, seems excessive. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

Haven't bought anything cool this month, just a lot of hangovers!

I'm not even sure if you are playing up to this 'binge drinker' image or not

I wish I was lying about it! Been a wild month so far, really need to have a calm 2nd half. But it is my birthday in 2 weeks so no hope of that!

But then on the other hand i could flip it around, and say I bet most of your hang overs cost a lot of money. That money being spent on expensive drinks at a club where they use the cheapest liqueurs where I can go online and buy 70cl bottle of Absolut for £14-15 and that makes me 28-30 shot measures. These days cocktails are £7-8 each with a jug of ice also.

I don't pry on that or think it's too much, people enjoy binge drinking at clubs. I've been through that myself but no longer club really.

But as you rightly say, if you like it... thats all the matters. It's more than just a "lamp" that oooh 'changes colours' but really, i'll be honest, i cba to explain

I avoided alcohol for about 3 days last month, so you are not alone

Very true I guess. It's odd, I'll go out and happily spend £60+ on a night out but I'm tight when it comes to buying stuff for my home. I wouldn't buy a £60 table, let alone a lamp even though it would undoubtedly be a much better use than x amounts of vodkas.

It's not my fault! These things just happen eh? I blame pieplough for getting me drunk on Tuesday anyway. I had to knock back all those ales because of his awful patter

Raymond Lin · 14 Nov 2011 at 23:46

Me to the florist: "Can you make me a bunch of happy flowers please?"

£25 later and Viola! (Do these look happy to you?) lol

Technically not for me but i still paid for it.

Psycho Sonny · 14 Nov 2011 at 23:48

you should have been on the "young apprentice" last week, very good

trentlad · 15 Nov 2011 at 00:11

Picked the Logitech Z506 5.1 Surround Sound system, recertified on dailysteal for £25.

Also picked up the Harry Potter complete movie boxset on DVD for £30 at Walmart.

Isn't this a picture thread... too much effort for some I guess.

No, first time I've seen one.

Watched some thing on iPlayer about them, said it was a couple of middle aged dudes in England that decided to start a company with a fake Japanese style background. Public lapped it up.

Enjoy the exquisite photographic reproduction from my cellular telephone

Logitech K750 - winning - felt weird going from my 10 year old Cherry beast to this thin one but its good and I like it

WD Live - new edition - FAIL! - all kinds of problems so being sent back to OCUK HQ tomorrow

trentlad · 15 Nov 2011 at 00:44

Oh and after hearing about the amazing Walking Dead comic series, I picked up the compendium (Volumes 1 through 8, or call it Books 1 through 4, or call it issues 1 through 48) for 20 on Amazon.
