Battra92 Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 A flat above a builders merchants office. Previous occupant was a girl so it's in pretty tip top condition. Too bad it didn't come with the previous occupant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalCaveman Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Really comfortable shoes, and they had 50% off their original price, so I went ahead and bought them. \m/ \m/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Bought something for the honeymoon: This is so we can plug in our chargers into your large and silly 240V plugs. Sony was good enough to make their PSP power supplies of the switching sort so I won't have to buy another one. We also discovered that her cell phone charger (with a USB plug) charges her iPod touch just fine and that also supports 240V. I may just bring that with this plug in order to save on space in packing. Also we're hoping to book the honeymoon to London this weekend.

Thursday Next Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Went on a little spree... Also got a poxy free D&G bag with the Issey... wasn't sure whether to be pleased at the freebie or annoyed at the extra weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 The BS 1363 is a landmark of British engineering. One of the safest electrical plugs in the world. Can't beat a good old 3 pin, earthed, fused plug, pumping out 240v of Newcastle coal fired electricity. *cries a single tear* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra92 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) The NEMA 5 is good enough. If we need a safer plug we can use one of the NEMA L-series. As someone who a million years ago studied electronics engineering I don't see the need for putting a switch and a fuse in the plug. Sure it's safety but that's just overkill. I suppose having 220V as a standard might facilitate the need for it (and the whole 120 vs 220 goes back to the Edison vs Westinghouse fights and how copper in the US was (and still is IIRC) much cheaper than in Europe as most Copper comes from Chile, the US and Canada. I'm sure electronics companies would love if we were all on the same standard. Of course, we could be like Japan where Osaka was wired by GE and Tokyo by Westinghouse so they have two standards in one country. o_O Back to purchases: I got my Groomsmen each one of these: I originally was looking at the same knife with Mother of Pearl inlay but I was told that wasn't really masculine enough for groomsmen.

Battra92 Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 It's beauty-full! I got four: one for each of my groomsmen and one for me. I decided the last one I got was too chinsy. It's a nice daily user but quite frankly, I think my guys deserve something classier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 This was a few weeks ago but I forgot to post about it at that time: Dell U2311H 16:9 monitor. IPS panel, great colors, no (to me) visible trailing or ghosting of any kind, great viewing angles, etc. The best PC monitor I've had the pleasure of using. It's supposed to be an "office" monitor but it is just amazing for the price all-around. Comes with a great adjustable stand, VGA DVI and DisplayPort ports and for some reason two USB ports. I've not figured out what those are for yet. Picture included, not that it says much: Paprika and A Fistful of Dollars (DVD): One of my favourite anime films and one of the few westerns I've enjoyed. Well worth the low price I paid for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra92 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Ah Barnes and Noble Criterion Sale. I knew there was a reason I was a B&N Member ... So far I have bought: Despite it not being a BLU, there doesn't appear to be a better version in the works or anything. Oh well. I'm not a big Chaplin fan (in my opinion he's the most overrated actor and director of all time) but I couldn't pass this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 While I can easily live with out the season box sets, I have to have the Star Wars parodies as fast as possible.

Slagathorian Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Completed my 90's Christian ska collection with these. I love the art and they're good albums too. Also gifted VVVVVV to a Veteran for Memorial Day yesterday. I love FIF. Got to see them once, my first ska show. So much fun. Holy crap, I can't believe I met another person that likes FIF!

TheFlyingGerbil Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 (edited) I don't post most of the CDs I buy but I'm posting this one as the cover is awesome plus I'm super glad it actually arrived as I had to use an importer I'd never heard of.
