Awaiting my Pringle tanktop to arrive.

For function or fashion? Both?

I like a Pringle but haven't owned one in years. I've been buy Lyle&Scott polos/pullovers recently as they always seem to be a great fit on me.

Snip.

Awaiting my Pringle tanktop to arrive.

Don't forget those wispy caps without the head bit...
Also, I heard that if you have sex with lots and lots of prostitutes you become #1 in the world instantly. I think it's in the rules. Can you check for me please before I start moving up the rankings?

Both, of course!

I don't think I've got to that bit in the book yet, but will certainly be willing to test your theory.

I didn't know golf had so many rules, and especially ones that needed illustrating

 

[dhandeh]

It has more rules than you would ever had thought.

Let's race to #1 ranking... Best. Race. Ever.

I'm looking at one of them for my office. They all drink coffee (workmates) but I could really use one for making my tea. The hot water from the dispenser just don't cut it.

We have a Flavia at home. I drink tea and my wife drinks coffee. They have a wide range of teas from Japanese green to black teas, such as Earl Grey, and many herbal or flavored varieties in between, oh and chai. It also makes hot chocolate and has add-on flavor packs to add a latte-style foamy topping, chocolate/caramel and whatnot. Their coffee varieties are just as varied, from very strong blends to decaf generics.

For office use they have models that can be connected to a water line and racks that can hold multiple flavors of coffee/tea (25 of each flavor) at once.

My contract with Verizon was finally over today, so I promptly went out and purchased one of these: (Virgin Mobile, $35/month)

Will it match tartan plus fours?

Is that a put the capsule type coffee in the machine, or can you still grind the beans yourself and use them?

Cheers Shaun.

We bought a similar model last year during the tax sales. We've started to get problems with the keyboard recently, with some keys not registering on-screen when you press them or being hard to depress. Other than that, works well for what it's intended 👍

I bought some Sennheiser HD598 headphones and a Bauer Vapor hockey stick. Both nice purchases, I'd recommend either.

Are you running those with an amp?

Earlier in the evening, I purchased Dino Crisis over the PSN. My memory is partially vague about all of the whereabouts. Would somebody, please make this T-rex stop attacking me occasionally throughout the game?

Hmm. I got a 3 years warranty extension with it, but hopefully it won't come to that.

Ordered two items today to help troubleshoot problems in the future and the second one is just for fun to look at how much some devices take from the AC outlet. Could of gotten the Kill-A-Watt for $4 cheaper at amazon but I'd rather pay a little more for better shipping.

How do you like it? We have Flavia @ work and I most people think it's nasty! We tried the Keurig too but it is just as bad. but it's free FTW!!!!

I've been tracking this one down for my collection, it has taken me some time to find a copy, let alone one in this good condition with the box & instructions, cost me a pretty penny too, Star Wars: Attack on the Death Star for the Sharp X68000.

 

[Aldo]

Do you know how many Star Wars games you have yet to collect?

Not too many to go now really. If memory serves me correctly, there are about 89 or so individual titles. I've got around 75 of them now.

Do you have a picture of your whole collection? I have a co-worker who is a gigantic Star Wars buff & he's been thinking about picking up the older games to add to his collection.

Nice! Good effort for sticking at it 👍

Here's a shot I took a little earlier in the month. I think I've only gotten maybe a few more games since then so it's fairly up to date.

Nice! Good effort for sticking at it 👍

Cheers, I've gone this far, I might as well complete the collection.

 

[Tesla]

And how many of those have you finished?

 

[Syntax error]

And how many of those have you finished?

Not all of them. I've played all most all of them, there's probably only about 5 or 6 which I'm yet to try out, but I certainly haven't completed all of them.

This is a capsule type thing. Well, small foul packets with a water valve on top and filter on the bottom.

How do you like it? We have Flavia @ work and I most people think it's nasty! We tried the Keurig too but it is just as bad. but it's free FTW!!!!

The tea is comparable to anything I can buy off the shelf in bags. It doesn't compare to fresh, loose leaf tea, but I'm too lazy to do that. And I did cut open a used packet to see if it was leaves or instant. Only the Lemon Calm was instant, which I expected, as it taste like a hot powdered mix lemonade.

And the hot chocolate (Dove) is very tasty.

I can't say about the coffee. I think all coffee tastes exactly like what it is; water strained through burnt beans that have been ground until they look like dirt. My wife loves it though. It used to be that she would run to a coffee shop whenever she wanted something better than Folgers, but now she drinks this. I think she likes having readily available coffees of various blends and locales. She's been really hooked on Kona since we went to Hawaii, and she drinks a lot of the Sumatran blend too. And she drinks her coffee black, if that makes a difference.


As for your work one, how often is it cleaned, and when was the water filter last changed? Better yet, is there more than just the "House Blend" available? My wife only keeps that on hand because some guests don't like that "fancy" coffee. If there isn't a variety available they may as well just give everyone those Starbucks Via packets.

Heathen.

Actually your house is the opposite of mine. My wife loves tea but gets no enjoyment from coffee. I don't mind the odd cup of tea but my tastes in tea are very simple, English Breakfast or Earl Grey will do me. I've tried quite a few flavoured teas but they are just not my thing.

Coffee on the other hand, well I could ramble on about for a while.

Cheers Shaun.

 

[Azuremen]

Both of you are heathens, one must drink both coffee and tea, depending on the mood and food. I grind Seattle brand (not Starbucks) coffee for breakfast and switch to Green or White teas for the afternoon when I get home. Quite nice.

And I bought this

Manfrotto compact tripod is on sale over at Costco and I've been needing a better tripod. And my Best Buy "wonder" has a most questionable head and thus I just don't trust the damn thing
