So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

I think these things are interesting and useful, but some (probability most) would disagree. I have recently acquired some 3 mm randomly flickering LED’s, a pocket knife, two glass pens, a circular (aviation) slide rule, a normal slide rule, a bottle of silver paint (like painting on chrome), some laser cut plants just to name a few things. I really do need a bigger man cave.

I've just bought ................................ A feckin mask,I am fed up with looking like Pappa Smurf every time I remove the disposable ones,And they send moustache hairs up my shnozz,It has been driving me mad so I flashed the cash and got one that covers my beard as well,It's the most enjoyable facial sensation I've had since the wife stopped sitting on it :oops:

Purchased two of them to turn into coffee tables. They are complete (just need assembly) but I still haven't got around to advertising them 🙄
However, I have a very clever mate who's really into old aircraft. He owns 2 x RR Merlin engines that are his retirement fund.
Consequently he has many contacts in the world of aircraft collectables. He's going to ask around for me.
But he's said that any potential buyer is unlikely to want the bits I've made/purchased to transform them into furniture.
No problem though, at least they'll be out of my way & a collector of aircraft memorabilia should enjoy looking at them 🙂

I have a few turn and slip indicators as used in Spitfires Hurricanes, and Lancasters that I am looking to offload for the right price. Might your buddy be interested?

Hi GF8

This was my mates reply...

..."Hello Jez, thank you for your text message, have put feelers out on my contact list, bearing in mind that the market for those items is flooded at the moment, but who knows, could be the right person out there, regards Mark"...

It doesn't sound promising, but it was definitely worth asking the question.

Cheers for asking! I’ll take a couple of photos for him!

Bought shit loads of stuff, life changing stuff tbh, the van, bike to go on van and a little puppy that will be coming on our journeys.

The t5's currently away getting fitted out at the minute.

Sorry I've not contributed much yet people, I've been having some problems with my anger management.

Anyway I hope your all well.

The dog is cute too...
