  • Buying yourself something daft for christmas?

    I’ve been looking at smart watches and I like the look of the LG G Watch R which is quite cool. I fully accept it’s an early version of what smart watches will become though. But still, I’m tempted. It’s utterly pointless and no-one could possibly ever need one…

    Obviously that’s an LCD display.

    What nonsense thing have you got your eye on?

    I’ve spent a couple of days trying to talk myself out of buying a Naim Mu-so. I don’t need it, can’t really afford it but can’t honestly say that it’ll not end up sat beneath the TV before xmas.

    I bought myself one of these boot dryers after another thread. Strangely excited.

    Very nearly bought myself the framed version of this http://www.firebox.com/product/6230/Find-a-Stranger?via=searchbox but realised I’ve nowhere really to put it, and she wouldn’t like it either… Would have been fun explaining it to inlaws tho!

    Not too daft but I’m hoping to buy a second hand set of Lyriks in the new year depending on how much I end up spending over the festive period!

    I treated myself to two tool chests in the recent Halfords deal and this week a s/h full-suss.

    Apparently, well according to my Missus, I ought to wait for Christmas before I open/use them…

    Good job she doesn’t know about the 1×10 components that’ll turn up today 🙂

    a house, but without a log burner, so my main present is the log burner installed this week (for Christmas). About 4T of wood waiting for a woodstore to be built for next year, so for my stocking filler, 1T of seasoned hardwood. The wife is buying me an axe…

    just ordered a denon dm39 and dali zensors that ive been promising my self after every job ive done offshore this year but never pulled the trigger for various reasons.

    Its “our” xmas present since the current piece of crap stereo has crapped out.

    to me 300 quid is daft for a stereo – as my current stereo was about 60 quid… and my garage stereo also cost 60 quid….. but i realised as soon as i played some music i know well – even as no audiophile that music was “different” so ive spent the last couple of years rediscovering old music through new speakers. – its an 80s technics amp and 5 disk cd unit with mission m30s all sourced off gumtree/ebay for bargain prices.

    I just hope this new set up is even close to the garage kit.

    A surfboard. I live in the middle of the country so the nearest decent surf is a long drive away meaning I’ll probably use it a couple of times a year.

    Completely different scale to most things here, but I treated myself to a Thermopop quick read thermometer in time for the Xmas turkey. Not that stupid as it’s functional, but £20 for a thermometer is kind of a lot.

    ir_bandito – very generous of you, but why not spend it on your own house? 🙂

    Not so daft, but I bought myself a Surly Straggler fork for my commute bike so I can stick some big fat tyres in there 🙂

    Just bought a Trace Elliot Ta100 Acoustic amp – will be used for gigging, but they are a lovely piece of kit 🙂 Wife wasn’t too impressed when it turned up yesterday – apparently we’re meant to be ‘saving’.
