Nerdy Awesome shit you bought!

[Scouse]

I wouldn't know one from t'other m8

 

[Bodhi]

I struggled as well, apparently "But Tesco do them for a tenth of the price" wasn't helpful in any way

How is it Yoni?

I did two raids on hotel wifi and apart from getting used to smaller screen, the experience was superb! Not noisy at all and unlike my old Dell the top doesn't burn either

Just bought one of these, and a case, on a whim. They look quite cool.

Should be good fun for mucking around when I'm bored (on a plane, etc). They do six different modules, you can daisychain them to produce more complicated songs.

I bet the people on the plane will be so happy sitting next to you with that racket going on

I won't be able to hear them cry with my Bose noise cancelling headphones on

My ASUS ZenBook just arrived. Man that thing is tiny. Should have enough oomp for web surfing and replaying games from the 90's during my Christmas travels.

Due to the future possibility of air on my bike, I'm thinking of buying one of these (as it's pretty cheap at evans with their 20% + 15% reduction).

Not sure whether MIPS adds anything really. Anyone have alternative suggestions? @TdC, @Tom?

 

[TdC]

my LBS says that MIPS mainly adds to the price. they're not fans.

Yeah. I suspect that it doesn't add much really and that a rounder helmet is probably better for you. But the rest? Does seem to be market leading atm, especially for comfort.

Tried one on in a shop today. Would never pay £345 for it, but £245?

Would still be too much when you can get a taxito where u want togofor less.

*sigh* oh Mori, they haven't invented four-wheeled vehicles that can go where I want to go.

Well full facers will always be pricey. Tbh I'd get one that is light and fits well.

Yeah. Tried on the XL in a shop yesterday and it was spot on - but £345 :\

Bought out by Fitbit in such a way that they don't have to pay layoffs or any of the kickstarter money back. Don't you just love lawyers?

You know Toms history on helmets and personal safety right? He'd tell you to grow a beard.

I'm one step ahead of him then.

It's coming off next weekend tho as I'm in tenerife and it's too hot for badger.

Feel your pain, I had to do the same last month. Didn't go for Le Creuset though, as good as they are, a lot of the price you're paying goes towards the name. We went for some Circulon stuff, just as well regarded in France, but half the price.

Wooden handles? Not for me thanks. And I'm not a fan of the silicone ones either.

Nice looking kit, but after using the ones I bought the other week I'm very happy with them. They'll last too - even though they say you can use metal implements with them I've chucked our old crap and only retained stuff that won't scratch 'em. Plus - oven safe to 280, rather than 180 - for that time I come in wankered and forget I was cooking something

Got a ipad air 2 for free, massive improvement over my four year old iPad 3rd gen.

That said I'd have preferred a pixel c, and they are on offer for 299 at pcworld right now. 100 quid off.

 

[Moriath]

Love my air 2

My Xperia Tablet Z is getting painfully slow now, I assume as a result of firmware updates, software additions, etc. Pretty annoying really as it's still a good tablet.

Just got myself a Galaxy S7 and Mrs JBP| a S6 after our LG G3 and G4 both blew up within 3 weeks of each other.
Currently attempting to connect them to the (so called) SMART washing machine without much success.

I brought one of these yesterday... in the video it is the E8 15084 platin which is a slightly later model of the middle machine and is black and silver

I've been looking into the E8 as our Gaggia is on its last legs - how is it going - do you have the milk attachment and the app?

 

[ECA]

Had a Jura 9 one touch for quite a while now, it's been good.
Milk nozzle thing is easy to attach/clean.

It is only 2 days and I love it. It has a milk nozzle and it is all very quick and easy to clean.

 

[smurkin]

The 9 looks interesting as a compact option - these days, I have quite a bit of space in the kitchen so the 8 with the bigger tank might be the way to go. The video is a big help.
