The Official Pleasing Purchase Thread

Got one of these things for my karcher. Its really good and a lot easier to clean under the arches etc. The varying degree spray nozzles are good, but you have to be careful with the fine jet spray though.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Make sure when you change nozzle you give it a quick test spray, making sure the nozzle is fully on, pointing at something other than your car*

I point mine at the ground or the garden wall ever since I sent one that wasn't fully seated into a neighbors yard across the street... It went a lot further than I thought possible.

On the way to Havasu on Friday one of the chrome lugnut caps on the F350 went AWOL.

Amazon showed what appeared to be the right one, but the size was wrong. I guessed they meant 1.60in when they posted 1.06in.
I ordered one, it showed up & was the right size.

Decided to order a few spares to have on hand. Clicked on 5... total was $38...

but for just $2 more I could get a box of 10...

So now I have 10 spares on the way.

When I fitted the new one it didn't want to clip in place so I gave it a tap with a rubber deadblow mallet. Went round the other 15 on the front & several weren't seated all the way. They are now.
May get ambitious tomorrow & check the 16 on the rear wheels too...

Nipped up to J&S at the end of the day to buy the Knox chest protector that fits in the mesh shirt I've got of theirs.

Hardly knew it was there on the way back. 24 degrees on the dash and the cooling is still excellent with the added advantage of - and I apologise in advance - not having to see my nips in the mirrors. The shirt really does do a good job of letting air in!

The Ninja Slushie. Tried it last night with a blood orange margarita.

It’s quiet. Takes about 30-40 minutes depending on what type of drink you’re going for. A pleasing purchase.

Two days ago I got one of their ‘3 in 1 Handi blender’ things. Made homemade pesto ( how much are pine nuts!!). Also a pleasing purchase. (Not the pine nuts. Fuck sake)

I have procured for myself, at a very reasonable price, a Hermon Miller office chair. I'm so comfortable right now - getting all the support.

For that price I'd want it to do my work and make me a cuppa, nevermind be comfortable.

I didn't and wouldn't pay that price

I blagged one many years back, and through many office refurbs, I have clung onto it through thick and thin, much to the annoyance of the facilities guys, who have now simply given up. Proper nice chairs.

I have a work-supplied uppy-downy desk at home as well, along with standard issue office chair. I did think about requesting a Herman Miller for home, but thought the better of it.

I got mine for about 45 quid iirc. (it's slightly damaged)

The most comfortable office chair I've ever used. Well done!

To be honest, after the lack of a follow up to the global success of Abracadabra, he had to find another line of work. He's done well with the chairs.

Mrs. D is currently changing jobs and is giving back all her WFH gear.

She's allowed to keep her two 20" monitors, keyboard, mouse and laptop, but she has to give her chair back because "they're really expensive"

Exactly the same where I work. We must have 1,000 HM chairs and you can take all the pc peripherals you like, but someone is signing for the HM chair.

I got mine from an office furniture clearance company and had to join a waitlist. I paid £100 and it's in fair condition.

Apart from the fact that they are fully adjustable, I like the mesh (instead of fabric) which stays clean.

We purchased one a few months back - cue several headaches from over strong frozen cocktails

I just added a couple of pounds looking at them!!

They are not Gluten Free so stick them where the sun dont shine Saying that i was in Ikea yesterday and had hot dogs with no buns and chips. They must have been the best hot dogs i have tasted. I ended up buying more. Wife waited until we were in the car to tell me they sell them frozen. I could have been home with a pile FFS

[MrLongbeard]

they sell them frozen.

I have a bag of them in the freezer, along with 2 bags of meatballs

When we lived closer to Ikea we got them meatballs quite regularly. Think we just sickened ourselves off them to the stage i never want them again.
