Chinese brand? At least it's not electric like Slandreths

So you don't have a quad or side by side yet or is this just a frivolous upgrade ?

I'll assume frivolous upgrade. But watch him try and justify it by saying he needed USB charge ports for his GPS or some bullshite

Do you have any male genes or hormones in you? What a gossipy bitch.

I can't help picturing him posting in curlers.

You cant seem to differentiate anything from bitch gossip. Because that's the only thing on your mind. Razzing someone about their new quad is not bitch talk or gossip.

This is where I have a big giggle at the sheer hypocrisy.

Buying a new 580cc quad for one's life in the northern Thai countryside. How Razz-worthy.

Its only razz worthy if he's trading in a 3 year old Kodiak 450 or something.

Modern day GPS/Satellite Navigation is the second most important contribution to the history of Transport.

What did we have before that?

The wife with a fucking map.

Which, in my case, was nearly always upside down! These GPS systems have made trips a whole lot easier and without the arguments over why we were lost.

My latest impulse buy...



This has been hours and hours of fun and we only bought it last weekend.

Even with just the playstation control consoles the racing has been fun. Definitely not to be taken seriously, as I've seen some do on youtube, but for taking the stress out of arriving home after being stuck in the rush-hour traffic.

Wife is in hysterics watching Mad Troy's route 1 to victory.

what brand? what model? interested to know the results.....

^I enjoyed the movie


My latest impulse buy is this rinky dinky watchpiece (my 2nd since page 1)

It is not the latest model but you save a bucket of cash by being a trailing edge technology adopter.

I don't know how that green laser light that shines into your wrist works but it tells me stuff about my body I had not a clue about.

I am going to try and get over the line on today's step count target by popping it over onto my right wrist before jumping into my scratcher with xHamster on the laptop tonight.

Hope I don't break the accelerometer.

I also bought an older one for half the price.

I enjoy it in the days when I do sport but the "you haven't moved for about 3 hours" reminders at the weekend suck.

It's a technical term - I like to move the discourse frame into technical areas when suitable...

Stupid, cheaply made, long life, quality electronics. Why won't you die? Might have to start storing them outside...

On the driveway.

Put them on the floor when you watch the match tonight. If it goes wrong then you'll have something to stomp on. (You could cut out small pictures of Erasmus and Faff du Faffy to tape onto your headphones?)

But, you're right that generally speaking, a lot of cheap electronics are made to a decent quality level nowadays (not sure about the sound quality and other elements?).

I've got a pair of 'Beats'.

As you say, not a great sound (though far better than they used to be) but the funkers seem to be indestructible.

^ I had the first generation and didn't like the sound. The latest generation is supposed to be much improved and sound pretty good.

I was gifted some Beats Flex and even the look of them is awful. Much prefer my Xiaomi which were probably half the price.

There are a couple of small areas that I'd like to pressure wash in a couple of upstairs outside terraces. Our pressure washer is something of a monster, a Hyundai Hurricane, good for around 225 bar but extremely heavy. Was looking for something light and came across a whole range of rechargeable battery driven lightweight pressure washers, primary use being washing cars.

Anyway, ordered one which just arrived and after charging both of the supplied batteries, gave it a go. Certainly lightweight, and decent pressure for car washing and light stone cleaning. Battery life seems to be around 30 minutes. Comes supplied with a small bore hose so you can use a bucket of water as a source.

Just need a shirt to match that green hose and you're sorted for Songkran.
