The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread

[demographic]

I was going to question ‘why Bluetooth?’ until you eloquently explained it so thanks.

Yeah, my other guiderail saw is 110 volt and plugs into a power socket on my dust extractor.
Starting the saw knocks the extractor on.
But my battery powered one wouldn't start it so the bluetooth battery (combined with the bluetooth module I bought for the extractor) starts it.

Now obviously having a cord powering my extractor and a pipe to my saw kind of makes a mockery of the whole cordless saw thing but there's not much in the way of cordless extractors about just yet.
Plus if I'm working somewhere outside I just have a dust bag on the saw instead of it being piped upto an extractor.

Given the mess I made trimming down some skirting from 6” to 5” the other day, I should have hooked up my guide rail saw to the mighty Titan vacuum I’ve got, but hindsight is a wonderful thing...

I wish I hadn't opened this thread. Now I want Unknown Pleasures oven gloves.

Its just working for me on so many different levels.

Why is the oven so cold?
Turned your pie on its side
Is the timer that flawed
And our red sauce run so dry?
Well there's still this peeler
That we've kept through our lives
And Gloves
Oven gloves
will tear us apart.

[slowsider]

I've bought some gloves.

Oven gloves.

Joy Division oven gloves.

Dance, dance, dance, dance.

Joy Division oven gloves? Pic?

Feeders of men?



Coat??

[Mr. Dazzle]

Not a purchase, but a free sample of marmite caramel popcorn.

Tastes exactly as good as you'd expect (true no matter how much you like marmite )

[MrLongbeard]

A kettle, the life of a high roller I tell ya.

We needed another telly in the snug and my boy convinced me to buy the new (apparently it's the latest one but I couldn't tell the difference between it and the previous one in the shop) Sony Bravia 85".
He had the hump because I wouldn't buy another one that was frankly stupid money.

They can't deliver it until next weekend.

I hope it's an OLED and not a standard LED one like the proles have?

85" are you watching it from another town?

Oooo ooh checking out the Quantocks

We want a 75" but can only get HD equality.
Do the big ones upscale properly?
Our 55" Philips is ok, but looks a bit small on the wall.

I don't watch the telly much so I'm not sure how they compare, but we looked at a few in the shop and I couldn't really tell the difference between any of them except the size. We've still got a 65" plasma in the UK, it must be 7-8yrs old now but it still looks fine to me.

Bloody hell, it's like I've gone back to my council house roots.

Meh, arrived quickly but didn't like them. A bit 'fat' for me, i think they'd make nice enough road gloves, but a bit dead feeling for track use.

Is that 'price' of good protection? I recall Dayglo Jim saying something about Halvarssons gloves being thick to meet CE.

I'd not heard of PleH gloves

That's a very good question matey. I've got short Halvarssons and absolutely love them.

My track gloves are Tuzo.

They're comfortable and were Ride magazine recommended, but I worry they may be a bit flimsy, hence wanting something a bit more higher end, but without going daft.

I can't justify £250+ full on race gloves for 1-2 days a year. So sitting here thinking "what now" and don't have the answer

[KungFooBob]

Go on, treat yourself, get some Handroids.

They appear bulky, but you don't notice it. Still plenty of feel through the palms, etc..

I think mine must be the Mk3 as they don't have that yellow bit.

A new bit of D.I.D. bling. They put the gear shift back on the wrong notchy thing - you can see it in the pic - its a bit high

Well, I must be very special as I got given this for our anniversary by the lovely Mrs. G.
https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/564 ... herry-cask

It's very nice. Not your typical smokey, peaty Islay malt, but sweet from the sherry cask, smooth as you like and thick on the tongue. Wouldn't know how to be harsh if it tried. And 1997 was the year we got married, hence the splurge.

Also, I was a bit pissed off as two of my Sonos speakers were declared obsolete by the app and instantly turned into expensive paperweights. She come home yesterday with two new Sonos One speakers and big f*ck-off Sonos Five. Chez Gremlin is back to being a party house!*




*Minus the guests at present.
