Thought we could start a Santa present topic so I could be envious of what everyone got ...........


I got a Milwaukee power rachet and a open IOU from my good wife. That looks like a new rear bar/wheel carrier for the GU or whatever else takes my fancy.

There's nothing like buying for yourself. You know exactly what you want and how much you wanna pay for it. :D
I bought an AFR gauge kit & few other cheapie gadgets for the troll. :)

It's a pisser mate. Just give yourself a buzz once a week in the shower and the fluff is fine enough to go down the drain.
Don't try it on ya ball bag though!

Yeah, that's true. I got a one hell of a surprise for my B/D, and then immediately followed by the enlightenment of the much bigger price I paid for it. :D. ( I had to lose fair bit of my creative project gadget collection by an action of a true imbecile, hence the reason for the damn good surprise b/d present, :1087: :D). When you only have real expectations from yourself, life become lot simpler, easier and somewhat happier(or at least a fair bit less disappointing).
Life's not fair mate. Treat yourself nice and fair. Nobody ain't gonna treat you the way you treat yourself. That's life,and I'm fine with that after going through the awakening. :)
Buy the best damn gadget you can afford and enjoy it, be it some two wheels you always wanted to have or your favourite electric shower shaver. :)

Size of an iphone6 just a bit thicker, fits in me top pocket. Thought the sound would go just a little higher but most of its guts are the lithium battery bank needed too for travel disguised as a speaker ;-)

Dont know WTF it's called but it sounds just like Acka Dacka, Cold Chisel, Australia Crawl and shizen loads of other great Aussie bands.

Edit, Baby girl said it's a UE Roll Bluetooth speaker device that does the same thing as the one Stropp got. Learn something new every day!
No babies on the way though.

Those things can put out some sound despite their size! I have 2 that go with me everywhere. Logitech and Moki. Even though these are cheapos they sound great. I can only imagine how good those real brands are.

Yes I also have a Toshiba one which is a lot more rectangular but this fits in the pocket or by the carabiner clip, excellent sound for so small

Bought another gig of data to download more tracks.
Eagles and George Thorogood, not local artists but on my favourite list.
Couldn't transfer to phone. Gave up in disgust. Google said the lead can be a charge only do used the one that worked yesterday... success.
Strange how hot spot worked but transfer didn't, oh well.

My wife let me buy a new Patrol for Christmas. The order has been placed just have to wait until April/May to get my present. And just so that I could have something under the tree she got me a tripod for my camera.
