righto, my mother is ashamed of being the age that she is, and each year when they receive the winter fuel allowance payment thingy she splits it between me and my brother. that, along with a bit of money i've made selling some clothes i no longer fit into (they're too big- good thing) means i have about £250 available to spend on myself, but i'm struggling to decide what to get.

what would you buy for yourself right now (either bike-related or not) if you had £250 lying around?

Something for your mother!

just to see how real people live, cap'n?

I would give it to someone called brakes because he needs it more than I do

Gravity Dropper or some Hope Hoops with Stans Flows if I hadn't just bought some. 🙂

I was meaning a six pack or PJ Belle Epoque, you realise.

i got a 24 pack of goose island root beer this afternoon; that's my version of that suggestion sorted flashie!

I wasnt messing round, you should treat your mother to something nice!

That's a couple of grams of coke and a hooker. And possibly a kebab on the way home. Sorted!

I suppose that really thats just an up-market version of CaptainFlashhearts desires.

I am with timc – taking money from your mother as a big boy!!! treat her to a proper nice meal as a family night out you tightwad!

Wheels for bike #2.

I Ipod touch,
Just got my daughter one for Xmas ,and had a quick play around with it.
Fantastic bit of kit,much more that a MP3 player.
Stuck some apps on it ,been playing a "Paper toss" game on it for the last 30mins,very simple but strangely addictive.

a sturdy wheelbarrow

A nice watch.

Maybe something like a nite mx50?…

Give it all to charity.

I'd help pay an older person on a small income's fuel bill this winter.

That's what Ian MacKaye would do.
