That whole online pass is the only reason I'm not buying it for a similar price...not that I can't afford it, just think it's a crock of crap.
 
This is my latest purchase in a bid to convert my office into a little slice of England. It now sits on a table with the coffee machine, sandwich toaster and kettle. :)
That teapot design is quite bad. Because the spout is so far near the center and with the curvature of the body, you have to tilt the teapot nearly upside down the remaining tea out which causes the lid to fall out. The glass is also very thin so that's not exactly a good thing for holding hot liquids. I would know because I have one myself.

But for English tea one must use the correct equipment. The Chinese seem to think brewing loose-leaf tea in a cup and then drinking from the same cup is a perfectly acceptable carry-on.

Tea bags are useful and everything but I prefer my Earl Grey loose.
Because it is... it's not like you'll die consuming the leaves and teapots now all have the leaf holding nets.


Oh P.S. I didn't mean to make you feel bad. Just educatin', don't be hatin' :scared::P

NOM! NOM! NOM!
 
The shipping wasn't too bad, unlike a lot of other team stores. I almost bought a 2011 LRGP shirt, but the shipping to the US was $50! That's nearly twice the cost of the shirt itself. Screw that!

Agreed. Bought my Vettel beanie when I was in Canada. Shipping took an age and was almost as expensive as the beanie itself.

When they started the Online Pass thing I said then that I would not buy any game that uses it. I will rent them from Gamefly or buy them used when they drop below $30 if they have a decent single player, but as any game that has devoted enough resources to online to make online pass worth it usually has a skimped single player mode I haven't regretted my stance yet. Although, I am going to have to bite the bullet for Twisted Metal. But I have the feeling they focused a lot on multiplayer and I wouldn't have been happy with the end result anyway.
 
Yeah, more Star Wars games.....

Never actually owned a pair of sun glasses in my life and so I thought it was about time I got onto that. I bought a pair of Ray-Ban New Wayfarers (am I cool now?). $167AU thanks to health cover!

that's not entirely true. I am pretty sure you had some fluro Hungry Jacks give aways when you were little.
 
Got myself 8 meters of this fully ended with banana plugs. Chord Carnival Silverscreen speaker cable.

Quality stuff mate. 👍
I've got the same for my fronts, 4 core though because they are bi-wired.

Cheers Shaun.
 
Went in to the shops to grab my kids some nappies and other necessities.... and well, I didn't quite make it out of the shop without getting myself something too. I feel like such a big kid right now. Pretty darn awesome.

Why the hell is Darth Maul on that box?

Sweet model though!
 
Just bought myself a new laptop - not the first time I've bought one, but it is the first time I've had to actually pay for it myself!
