Re: What have you just bought?
 

I'm sick of certain colleagues taking the p out of my old Blackberry.... such as "is that your daughter's phone?"

Just bought a HTC One. Knowing my luck there will be a new one coming out next week.

A new recliner.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

l bet that's comfortable.:)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I hope so, I haven't tried it yet.

Had to retire the old one, it died of old age. :(

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Yes my parents are pricing up a recliner settee as the settee they have currently is 10 years old.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Hope they don't get too much of a shock.

Re: What have you just bought?

Re: What have you just bought?
 

No they know how much they cost and have budgeted accordingly.

And what type of fish will you put in there jo?.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Shrimp. I am having an explosion of shrimp. The little blighters keep breeding faster than I can get rid of them to other people and my local aquarium can't take anymore as they seem to have run out of customers. https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2016/10/1.gif

I think I am now officially a shrimp farmer.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

how navy DO you have? I have for r cats and I think that's a lot :-)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Well shrimp are a lot smaller than cats thank goodness.

I lost count when I got to 100. I only started with 3 and I can see a lot of the shrimps have a saddle full of eggs ready to increase the size of my flock, .... or whatever the name is for a heck of a lot of shrimps, they certainly look like sheep as they graze on the moss balls in the tank. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A troupe....

Are they edible? ;)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I certainly like the idea of a troupe of shrimp. They race around the tank bumping into each other and generally acting silly most of the time so they could be likened to a troupe of clowns.

A full grown one is at the most 15mm long and a lot of mine are under 3mm so I wouldn't like to have to try to shell them if I decided to make some Potted Shrimp.. Now if they were prawns that would be a different matter. :)

Add// I just did a Google and would you believe it!! a collection of shrimp is really a Troupe. You clever man Taf. I have to say though that my husband recons it should be a Platter of Shrimp .. but then he does enjoy his sea food. :D

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I was in the same situation about 4 months ago.
Solicitors are often rubbish chasing you when they need something and useless when you need info from them.
However once you are in your house, got all your furniture up, and settled in, you'l realise it is one of the best things you've done.
Enjoy your new house. :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

I thought I had a lot at 629 Blu-Rays/DVDs!

Just bought Batman: Arkham City and Nintendoland both for Wii U for £10 each at Tesco. There were a number of other Wii U titles for £10, not sure why.

I bought 2 VHS movies today :)

Wow,i have wanted this for awhile...... I have the 45 of this song (MONEY FOR NOTHING) and its a MASTERDISK and sounds excellent!!

I was waiting in line to pay for the 2 movies and noticed a small stack of records off to the side.. I looked thru it and couldnt believe it!

On a side note it I have 200,471 minutes or 139 days 5 hours 11 minutes of viewing.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

A nice case for my phone :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Very nice dilli.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

An assorted mix of NFC tags.

Plan on having one by the front door so I can tap the phone against one on the way in and out to turn wifi off, one in the car to toggle bluetooth and few in the front room to make it easier to switch between all the remotes. Got a few with 1k of space to write too, so will try out some tasker macro's too as well as having a keyfob with contact details on so I can just tap it to peoples phones, easy peasy!

I last bought An ALAN PARSONS PROJECT record :) (The turn of a friendly card)

if anyones in to buying food from pop ups then try this out in London

Re: What have you just bought?
 

An Onyko AV Receiver and some surround sound speakers with meaty subwoofer. Loving the sound from it and all the internet features and the InstaPrevu for all the inputs is pretty slick too. One of those guilty purchases as there are other more needed things that should have taken priority.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Not just bought, but a couple of weeks ago I acquired my first android phone, a Samsung Galaxy S running on Android2.1 and I have just about got it running as I like. Android4.2.2 running with CyanogenMod 10.1.2 rocks. As some of you already know I spent a fair bit of time with my eyes closed and fingers crossed. :D

Setting up Ovivo on a rooted phone however had me tearing my hair out, but got there in the end and Ovivo is proving to be well worth the effort.

Am just waiting now for my new SD card to arrive before I fill my socks up with frivolous apps.

Happy bunny.

Re: What have you just bought?
 

what model dude? My amp is wicked and it was only cheap runs 8 channels though love a good bit of surround . Got a 250 watt active Yam sub too

Glad Ovivo is working out for you :)

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Alien Quadrilogy BluRay from Morrisons - £10.

Result!

Re: What have you just bought?
 

Mines pretty much bottom of the range but packed with features that I will actually use. It's only 5.1 but my thinking was get a cheap one now to last me a few years and upgrade to a better 7.1 + 4K in the future. TX-NR414 is the model.

Got a Pioneer Sub with it, 160 watt peak but think that means in reality it's 100.

Never really got in to all the audio stuff before and just wanted something better than the tv speakers and didn't want a soundbar. The DLNA means I can play music from the NAS directly or do it through XBMC or even on the phone. Loving the Vtuner, was so simple just to choose Ambient music and it just streams perfectly :)

Still lots to setup and play with but CEC seems to be working, my tv remote can control the amp and the Pi/XBMC connected to it.
