There's a Dyson Airblade hand dryer in the bathroom at work. It's ace at getting hands dry, what it's ment to do.
Why can't we have more stuff like this?
Other stuff:
Landrover Defender (ducks for cover!...)
The teng tools spanner set I have
My shed - Stuff goes in, stays dry - job done

The barbecue thing is indeed great but in 20the mins half your fuel is gone. 5-7 is all you need.
There are loads of good things for this list.

Have to agree with dyson hand driers- nothing more disappointing than driers that don't blow. Some complimentary ear defenders would be interesting to know what the decibel output of the dyson is.
Actually, the new breed of stw hamster seems rather robust too.
Nokia phones (pre-smart phones)
I'm off to B&Q at lunch to pick up one of those BBQ starter chimbley-pots

Thou shalt not have the buyers remorse.....
Especially if thou makest one from an old Amaretti biscuit tin instead of spunking the cash on a ready made one! 🙂
Honda's
Honda's what? 😉
Oh, and Radio 4. Does all I could ever need it to! (Did you know that there's a blue plaque to Willy Rushton in Mornington Crescent tube station? How cool is that?)
Edinburgh Trams.
Lol @ glupton
B&Q are flogging off all the BBQ stuff at the moment so now is a good time to get a coal starter.

Mine are just perfect. Can't imagine how I'll replace them when/if they ever wear out!
HT SS - get on, ride, lube, throw in shed - repeat as required.
Reefs
WD40
Frisbee
Rain
a shovel - fun starts around 1.15mins
and again at 4.00
I don't think we can allow rain on the list, sorry.
It's meant to water plants and feed springs. However it has a habit of buggering off for long periods of time causing lots of people to die, then coming back in other places far too much and causing more people to die. Then there's all the lower grade stuff like stopping your washing getting dry, being annoying on holidays and trashing Mountain Mayhem courses.
Dyson Airblade hand dryer
Was unfortunate enough to use a normal type hand dryer with Dyson strength blower. They get your hands dry uber quick too... by blowing the water off your hands, straight on to your trowsers making it look like you've aimed badly, or had bad urinal splashback.
Ambrosia custard
Ewwww :puke:
Sony trinatron CRT tv
Mitubishi too. Mine from 1991 is still going strong. Unlike my Tosh and Philips, and Hyundai LCD
Hole punch
My hammer
Crowbars
but NOT...the flipping back brake on my BMX...have now adopted the foot in back wheel aproach of many youthful riders I see around.
Really old Patagonia fleece and waterproofs as well....

Bromptons - Perhaps the most useful and superbly designed thing I own...and has already paid for itself in saved tube fares.
+1 on the Dyson Airblade too.
specs - really, i just don't see how i'd manage without them
where can i get a chinese multi-shovel?

My mate hates his with a passion.
Man alive! I need to get me one of them Chinese military shovels.
Bodum stove top espresso maker
Opinel stainless knives
Trangia
Endura 3/4 bib longs circa 2005
Myford ml7 lathe
Tag 2000 series watches from the 90's
Every Toyota I have ever owned (5 of them)
I hate crap stuff.
Trangias do not do what they're meant to do. Unless they were designed to burn stuff or not cook it, be really dangerous and waste fuel.
And my Endura bibs were sized really weirdly and wore out at the crotch quite early on.

makes a Leatherman look as gay as it sounds 🙂
They missed a function on the shovel...frying eggs/cooking?? Table tennis bat?
were all doomed though if they have that thing...
my girlfriend does exactly what she's meant to do without any fuss, my wife, however always used to make a fuss, and very rarely did it.
Lots of tools in the workshop fall into this category - the hammer I use most is a roofer's hammer I found in the road about 20 year ago! Park allen keys, Rohloff chain tool, Kestrel stands, and my Midget oxy torch (the bottom one in this pic):

Sony CD player - well, most Sony stuff really, TV and camera quite elderly but still work perfectly.
Benefit eye shadow and concealer.
Just to try to balance out all the "man" stuff on here 😆

A left handed mouse is an ideal porn-watching accessory.

Rohloff chain tool
Not keen on mine. Shows either "chain OK" or "chain gubbed" by which time it's too late. Going to buy the Park one.
