What did you buy today?

[Graham_S]

A new superstore has opened up in the area (SACO World) so I popped down for a look.
I picked up a Leatherman Skeletool CX.
For SR350 (about £60)
Hennies price is £90!
I think they've got the prices mixed up between the basic Skeletool and the CX version
I think I got a bargain.
I filled up my car on the way home too.
£3.50

I filled up my car on the way home too.
£3.50

Probably spent that much on driving into the petrol station and the extra engine ignition needed for the journey.

Lol

Some army surplus goretex from Britishmilitarysurplus on the Bay of Evil - jacket and trousers, so I can go fishing in the rain!

Stupidly, I got my "metric to real money" conversions wrong, and ordered the wrong size. D'oh. How can a man of my age be expected to know his height in metric? It's not natural I tell you!

Managed to be first to say 'yes please' to a Gransfors Bruks small forest axe from Twisted Firestarter.
Can't wait to get my grubby little hands on it!

Four pressure barrels, 3 fermentation bins, steriliser powder, huge plastic spoon, gas capsules,about 10kg of sugar, a few cans of homebrew goo and a whole load of other goodies I expect to be offline for some time when it's ready. 10 gallons of beer here I come

Pot of homemade jam from Tay berries from a job I was working at yesterday. had to do a repair on thier staircase. Somehow I resisted buying a pot of the chilli jam, normally I would have but they were asking £4.50 a pot and it was a small pot too. Might have to go back there and and just buy some anyway and hang the expence.

Also took delivery of 4 fresnal lenses from eBay and a Swedish Snow smock from Corso that I traded with him. That's in the UK and I'll pick that up in 4 weeks time. Can't wait to have a play at pimping that.

Real men are measured in feet and inches - metric is for MetroMan....
Strangely
knives are imperial in length, but metric in thickness
Hot weather is in degrees C, cold in degrees F
My height and girth are Imperial, my weight in kilos
Distance on a map is miles, height is meters ...it is a confusing world.....

It's been a while since I bought something, but I finally got round to getting a norgie coolbox. I also bought one of these

I almost had palpitations at the price (t'aint a cheap bit of kit :yikes ~ fortunately, I've found it very useful .

Yup, but you'd have to have a strange mind to say 'I fell 0.000078914141414 of a mile' instead of just admitting that you'd fallen off the kerb
