This endless lust for bike bits is getting dangerous now. I think I have an addiction :P
Just bought a new chain ring; an e-Thirteen outer ring bolt set so that I can finally put my bash ring on(4 chainring bolts for 15 quid... They are having a laugh charging that) ; and a parktools chainring nut wrench (Ooo err) to aid me in my chainring bolt fitting.

🤬 you Chain Reaction Cycles.

Don't worry it always happens at some point. You'll do what I did and practically replace everything but the frame on your bike, then instead of buying a new frame just build a whole new bike. It's alright though because you really get to know what you want.
 
Also on the wish list in fairy land are a short cage rear mech because they look fairly sexy and maybe some new brakes as these levers are a bit long.

Yeah I can see myself doing that too :lol:
By the time I'm finished you could probably buy a full susser with the money going into it.
Much more fun this way though :D

Edit: Just remembered I got this t-shirt

and this

Just ordered two different movies from two different places.

From Walmart.com, Grand Prix 2-Disc Special Edition DVD:

And from Target.com, The Official FIA Formula One 2008 Season Review DVD:

I had some giftcards left over from Christmas. And since there really wasn't anything in particular that I wanted, I got these two items.

Also, does anyone else think that the box covers for the FIA F1 Season Review DVD's are kinda terrible?
 
This just arrived today...

I really can't wait to see these guys, they are pretty much the only reason I'm proud to say I'm from Northern Ireland!

Also got some Supra Lizard King shoes, they are currently sitting in the freezer with bags of water in to stretch them because I must have fat feet, they fit fine length ways but slightly tight width ways. They are the purple ones in the image below:

I am so a bit pissed because the gun is not real life size.
Or Isaac is only 80cm tall
 
Gunnar Glasses. Saw them on Insidesimracing and these glasses does make a difference.

Or you can just calibrate your monitor and turn the brightness down to sane levels. Factory displays are stupid bright, for both TVs and Monitors.

Good choice for the hard drive (Samsung F3 1TB for those who have no idea what it is), I have two in my computer and couldn't be happier with them 👍

I also have that same type of RAM, what specific version did you get? My 1600C7s aren't stable at the default timings :lol:

I got the 1333 C9s as recomended in the mobo manual that I downloaded for reference before buying. So far the only problems I've had had nothing to do with the new components, but rather the memory card reader left in the reused case, and the old HDD I'm trying to retrieve my data from.
 
Damn you IKEA, damn you!

One of these:

So much efficiency too! It all fit neatly into my car. I'll be doing a return trip there soon for a new desk and TV stand, its just when you have a small car you need to take it easy :lol:.

Oh and then I just had to stop at Moosejaw.

It bemuses me that people still don't realize these guys make money off products. You don't just get things like $3000 race setups or $1200 i7 black editions because people like you. They'll flog 'and rightly' anything off that will help them make money.
 
I had one of these for the first time a couple weeks ago, and after a couple drinks I could swear I was drinking a Red Bull. Tastes the same to me.

Red Bull is much sweeter. I prefer the dryness of Monster compared to that but it all takes a back seat to Mango Venom.
 
New two-car garage...oh yeah, it comes with an attached kitchen, some bedrooms, a living room, etc... :sly:

Congrats! The house looks nice. Is this your the first house that you bought?
