Re: What have you just bought?
 

A powered sub woofer to get some decent bass for the new telly. Midrange and upper sound is fine. Got this one for £30 as the Sony wireless one was silly money (£250!) and my main hi-fi speakers are too large to tuck in the bay window with the TV and wouldn't look right.

This can be placed unobtrusively just behind the TV stand.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

What????!!!! You don't want to stay in Manchester???? :confused:

Some gold plated component video (RGB) leads from Amazon to connect my DVD recorder to the new TV. ( Allows progressive playback mode )

I'm currently using a composite video and sound set (white/red/yellow)to carry the RGB signals but they must be degrading it somewhat.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Sorry, Gary, I don't know what you mean.

What I mean is small notes for bars and restaurants, for drinks/snacks/meals, so I don't get hit for credit/debit card transaction charges.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Don't forget to haggle. don't pay the asking price. you should get some good deals.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Just bought my wife the most basic Kindle for her birthday. She didn't want the others which are a lot more expensive.

Now looking for another refurbished laptop to put Linux on so my son can have one for school and wife/daughter another for playing. Really just need to browse, read email, do scratch and watch DVD's and not a lot else. I like Lenovo Thinkpads as I know all the bits work and I can get T60's for under £150.

---------- Post added at 12:59 ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 ----------

Found the laptop, others have commented Linux works fine (and I've put Mint on the similar T60). Probably need to source a new battery, got a nice one cheap on Amazon for the T60.

I use the 'inverted method' as it seems to produce better results.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

are they really good? been thinking of getting one.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

For the price they are very good. It doesn't take long to get used to either.

And I agree the inverted method is by far better.

My ED tracker showed up today, very nice :)

Even Natalie is impressed :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yep. Excellent. The only drawback is that I used to take turns with my wife to go and get her tea and my coffee in the morning. Now it's my job every morning as it's a little more fiddly to use an Aeropress compared to a normal filter. :)

Hope not!

I've bought a turbo trainer for the spare room so I'm curious how my heart will perform when I give it some hammer (the bike and the heart). With a strong family history of heart disease, I want to keep an eye on things.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Train tickets to go down and see my mother in Sennen (Cornwall) After a lot of faffing about I got the down trip to about £80. A pre-booked ticket back was only £29 with seat reservations. Go figure.

Using the train as the car is US at the moment. Also leaving the OH to hold the fort as he can't get time off.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

You must be getting off at Penzance heero as the train does not go any further then the end of the line.
