What did you buy today?

  • Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August) available until March 31st, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
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
:D
 
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 :D .

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 :o :lmao:
 
*sigh* and just now a Wenger EvoGrip P18 Patagonian .... not everyone's cup of tea but I love the yellow/black- and it has a Philips screwie, which will get a lot more use than a corkscrew!


*edit*


and a victorinox skipper too.... shhh don't tell mrs 3bears!
