Thread: Show us your impulse buy

^ Like a kiddie at Christmas, I have a sneaky suspicion that you might have open the box the wrong way round.

Chinese copy. They printed the box upside down.

Bit of a combo of impulse purchases here. Together they make me run very very fast.

That was Monday night's fare, Boobles. And, what's this? Yes, I do believe I have a trio of Grolsch in front of me this very moment.

*sluuurrrrrp*

Easy Pats.


He'll be hoverboarding his way over the Himalayas with a 5 Liter box of Chardonnay before you know it.

Buying Lil Luigietta's love.

Apparently it's a telephone.


I better not be shoved off to some old todger's home in 40 year's time.

Oh dear, parent 101 violation!

Lil Luigietta will likely grow up to be an English hockey player now she's been given that thing...

that's fine as long as I'm not carted off to a home.

& you'll be carted off to a home...

Anybody want to buy a pink telephone/pokemon catcher?

Talking about homes... My great uncle died a few months back, in his final days he was in a home that cost over 2,500 per week - and the treatment was terrible, and the place was dirty, and his stuff was stolen and the staff (Africans, no doubt on tiny wages) were terribly trained and just horrible towards the people housed there... OAP homes are just set up nowadays to rape every penny from the old folks.

&, btw, he wanted to be there because he thought it would be nice (stupidly imho).

My wife's grandmother is very very old and kinda lives at the bottom of my wife's aunts house in Nakhon Nowhere, but she seems happy enough with the chickens and cats and dogs and people and stuff going on around her; that is certainly an area where the LoS is better than the UK.

Bucket full of heroin based opiates at age 75, thank you very much.

You might get shoved off to an old "codgers" home...your "todger" is what's causing most of your problems IMHO...

As today is pedantic English day...

I have opened a new wing of the Air War Museum with some more up to date assets all still in frontline duty.



Maybe I need a separate Air War Museum thread.

FA18 Superhornet



F16 Fighting Falcon



F22 Raptor



F15 Strike Eagle



A10 Warthog Tankbuster



AH64 Apache



HOOOYA!!!

Nice lighting too.

Would you not set up a system where Ride of the Valkyries come on through that sound system when someone opens the door to the room.

^Good call. I need to get a Huey and start work on a 60's Vietnam era gallery.

If I were allowed only one plane (fully loaded with ammo) to overfly a Teakdoor get-together then this one would be the most fun:

I hear ya Betty. The A10 is the best option for entertainment value and actually lets you see the whites of their eyes and watch them dance like in the western movie gunfights just before they are cut to ribbons. The other options are more about remote target acquisition and are just not so visceral. Maybe you can watch all the fun in black and white drone monitor feed on youtube when you get home but actually seeing them live through your own front windscreen as they are splattered by your 30mm rotary cannon is really what its all about... keepin it old school!

OK, due to popular demand, here's me new bass and amp:

^Nice one Betty. Bet your neighbours live you! Are you a left-hander?

Here is the Ibanez Musician with mother of pearl fret inlays and through neck which I got at age 18. Don't have it anymore sadly.
