Thread: Show us your impulse buy

I'm not sure if it is the Seinfeld (40 years old) or the 18 year old legos that is most perplexing.

He'll type anything if he thinks there might be a three figure thread in it.

Yep. And he will start bumping it reminding everyone as it gets near it to spur it along.

I would offer congrats but honestly at this point, based on his previous posting nonsense, I think he is full of shit. When he posts pics after birth I will believe it. For now, it looks like Children raising Children.

To think we now have Backspit and YD back posting......

Seinfeld as a show started 30 years ago.

The Lego set was produced this year or perhaps last year, so yea....wrong on both accounts.

Aaand another set arrived just now...

Well now you have two Leggo toys. Get used to the number two. In a few months you will be buying two of everything. Diapers, baby clothes, toys, and it just goes on and on. The good thing is though you feel wonderful about every single thing you bought. Twins its a whole different world as I am sure David can tell you as well.

Had so much fun building my lego Ducati that I bought a Soviet T-34 tank. It's a Polish lego brand called Cobi. The tank comes with Polish and Soviet insignia.

The quality is about the same as lego. The details are good. It has an engine that you can see. The hammer for fixing the tracks on the side. Excellent product.

They're both from the Manchester area.

Not saying that the officiating is a bit biased, but rumour has it that Liam and Noel Gallagher will be linesman.

LiVARpool and Klopp have been getting their excuses in early I see

^^^You are not reading the public mood with that Russian tank on parade Skidders. I have imposed sanctions and cupboarded mine away for the time being.

I had to calibrate it against the service station air pump before I could trust its Chinese sneakiness. It seems to be accurate thought. 1 psi lower than servo pump.

Are they supposed to be 36psi?

I have been pumping them to 32 psi for the past 13 years. I will have to google up the correct instructions!

It even comes with an evil Russian with a gun and binoculars

Very Russian. A short range weapon needs binoculars to improve accuracy. lol ������

I would not assume the servo pump is remotely accurate.

There is only one Lego brand, it's called - surprisingly - Lego.

True . . . a bit sad, really.

Been reading some interesting Middle Eastern recipes recently, and Pomegranate Molasses as an ingredient featured often. I'd never heard of it, but fortunately Lazada had. Arrived yesterday, though don't know when I'll actually use it in anger.

That should do floor the next 3 years bbqs here

Half price at Lidl today, Chitty. Get on it.

INGREDIENTS
1 teaspoon pomegranate syrup or molasses
2 ounces Montecristo rum (or other dark rum)

I do wonder if there is an actual rhum made from it

The problem with getting a spanky big 32 inch curved monitor is that it makes my little 14 inch laptop look small and inadequate so it was back to the shopping board

Luckily I sneaked this in before the Dell Sale finished

16 inch screen 1920x1200. Good to see some sanity returning to the letterbox screens with something a bit taller. Just need the phone designers to follow suit now.

Intel 2022 12th Generation Alder-Lake architecture Core-i7 with 12 cores and 16 threads + 16 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD for $1300

But the real reason I bought it was to get a little door that closes over the camera so I don't have to stick bits of masking tape on it.

Take as long as you like

Nice specs and a good price.

Back-lit keyboards ... a must have on a laptop IMHO

Oh, and that sliding privacy window on the camera, a neat feature.

AO ... ain't that the truth.

Still love them though, couldn't imagine not having twins ... they are constant companions and friends (sometimes enemies) to/for each other.

The beetle,butterfly and covered bollocks!
Some perverted shite going on there Loops!
I blame Ingrid.

Very neat. Why aren't they all like that?

Maybe not the wisest thing to buy!

But fvck it, Liverpool at Wembley
