Do you know how uncomfortable it is taking cold showers?
Yes! Especially when it's ICE cold. GT Academy portable shower with no working heater =

The trick is to quickly soak yourself, step out, soap up and then rinse.
Had to get rid of the old one as it was somehow leaking CO. Haven't been able to use hot water or cook for a few days now. Do you know how uncomfortable it is taking cold showers?

Always wanted a technic kit when I were a lad and never got round to getting one. Until now...
Because of the Guider of the Baanhammer, I may have to go back up north sometime and take a picture of one of my creations. Also, because of him, I may have to break down and buy a kit.

Just bought:
This is noticeably smokier and peatier than the Glenmorangie that this will be joining. Liquor seems to be on sale/cheaper, so I'm probably going to be stocking up and buying more booze sometime in the near future.

I already paid off my preorder back in April, and I found that the demo was good enough that I would put up with it just so I could finally play the game.Thought about it, too. Yet, even tho I've waited for it since I was a teenager...I just can't justify it. Just take a look at all the reviews.

Curious, in the US the "PS3 Greatest Hits" are in red cases (annoyingly, unless you grab one right when it's announced and it's a sticker, like below), but that looks awful. Is that just an artwork placeholder or does it actually look like that?
Here's my latest haul, all 3 blu-rays I got at Best Buy for $10 each after using $5 coupons, MAG at Kmart for $10 after my $20 coupon. I also picked up a bunch of knick-knack stuff from a Blockbuster clearance sale.

All the way from Doncaster,used to belong to an old psychology professor who find it in his basement,He already had one so he put it into Ebay.
Its been two months but is worthy,and the sound is incredible(using a borrowed old Vinyl Player),it might sound silly but these things sound incredible and they just cant be found in my country,I'm halfway there,but the Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast is just impossible to find,maybe I need to follow the same route that I used with Animals and just search it online.

I've now built my previous purchase, and managed to purchase something new.
And, yes, that is an alloy wheel that they've used as a rear rotor...

That's awesome, both of 'em.
I want that car. Where'd you buy it?

It's seemingly an "exclusive" to Argos in the UK, but other online shops had it, and obviously the Lego shop had it too.

I had so much fun building the helicopter. You'd be building a section, wondering where it would go and what it would do, then you'd put it together and it'd be a 💡 moment as all the moveable bits fell into place. The bit you start building was moveable and I thought it'd be the rotor assembly, but it turned out to be the undercarriage that moves up and down. Like most Lego products, you can build it into something else, but the problem with the helicopter is that the other thing is another, slightly smaller, helicopter, so I don't really see the need to build that.
With the car, it has motorised moveable bits so it should be even better building it. Also, the other thing you can build is a hotrod type car with a powered, folding roof, so it looks like that once I build the main car, it will be taken apart at some point in order to build the other one. 👍

I absolutely love Technics kits and had thousands of parts before I left the UK. I'd spend hours building robots using the NTX system my brother had and use them as part of my degree course. They're so expensive here though, even by western standards. I could be tempted to buy a new Mindstorms kit though if my wife don't let me have the Irobot Create kit.
Just bought some universally excellent blu-tack to stick up things in my classroom.
You'd be amazed how hard it is to find in a regular shop here, had to online order this.

Same here. I bought about 5 packs of the stuff the last time I went back to England. Despite every other person living in rented accommodation here, you cannot buy the stuff here in Japan.
The car really does sound awesome 👍
My older brother had a technics set when we were kids but I found it frustrating at the time as you had to follow the instructions, most of the time I stuck with normal lego and tried to recreate Megatron or Shockwave.
I am tempted to get a set after seeing what you've got but I think my wife would have words if I spent my evenings making it rather than getting stuck into the huge list of jobs we need to do on the house. Also my son would want to play with it but his idea of playing with lego is purely destructive!
On the topic of reliving your youth Meccano has some pretty cool stuff now but not quite as good as Technics.

They actually look like that over here
Its in a very shiny, metallic silver case.
Ouch that sucks, even the yellow border?
At least metallic silver is close to the regular clear cases (or is it?). The red cases stick out like a....like a red case, actually.
Went back to Best Buy yesterday and bought this.
