Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
I bought a coffee machine by accident.
Went to Curry's to pick up a Dyson hair dryer that the FiL wanted for MiLs birthday and spotted this reduced by 200 and something quid due to being ex-display with an additional 20% off.

£375, which was nice.

Re: The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread
It looked cheap, so we found a sales guy, he pulled it off the 'reduced' shelf and sat it on the counter. Then mentioned that there was no box or filter, or even a power cord and that's why it was so cheap. We were about about to tell him to put it back when he said he'd go have a look in the warehouse see if he could at least find the filter.
All the other stuff on the reduced shelf had boxes on the shelf below.
He came back after 5 minutes, with a box, filter, cleaning kit, power cord, everything it should come with!
Was a no brainer then.

A couple of tickets to go and see Rich Hall.
Pleasing because he's funny, he's doing small town shows, the price per ticket is less than 20 quid and it's a five minute walk from my front door

Finally got round to buying an ABBA stand.
I was almost tempted by the addon tool tray.
Coming to a garage near you, a forkless GSXR1100

I got one for Christmas in 2020, along with the front wheel lift kit. Both are still in my garage, still in the wrapping paper

I've just swapped from an Openreach fttc connection to fttp, gone from 40Mbs to 300. I expected it to only improve big downloads but general Web browsing has got noticeably quicker as well.
