Mrs C_S has played an absolute blinder and got me a couple of genuine Neanderthal artifacts - an arrowhead in good but unused condition and a scraper which had been used.
Bought from a very reputable source so not a modern knock off - No, she didnāt buy them from LITSL or SOG, though they did offerā¦
I like my gadgets low tech tbf
Oh, and she got me and Teenage Mutant a Zimbabwean Fifty Trillion Dollar note each, from the bad old days in 2008 when inflation out there went absolutely fucking mental.
The note wouldnāt have even bought a loaf of bread.
I have to say I was disappointed with the offer for the crushed Richard III spinal disc. It was authenticated as a congenital spinal disorder not later car park damage as you wife suggested.
A couple of Anker chrimbo gifts:
Got a pair of these Soundbud curves:
They are very comfy and havenāt cut out once yet. This is unfortunate as Iāve heard every second of Saints getting dicked at Wembley.
Got one of these Soundcore nano speakers for Kid Goat:
Itās tiny. It is fucking loud! She loves it. Cost me Ā£6 in the sale. Unbelievable.
Not strictly a gadget but Mrs C_S has got me hooked on an app thatās apparently taking Mumsnet by storm
Flightradar 24
Itās a realtime flight tracker. Totally useless, but if you want to check the progress of the 16:00 flight from Heathrow to Seoul, balloons in the Caribbean (I kid you not), wonder about why there are no flight in Yemen or N Korea for that matter, or even why all helicopter flights from Aberdeen all seem to finish in the North Sea then itās the app to download
I didnāt realise there are so many planes in the air at the same time
I will probably be getting the paid-for option soonā¦very sad I know.
I got some bluetooth soundbuds before my trip away. Theyāve made my commutes and travelling around the borough so much better and I am not getting tangled up anymore.
Also picked up that little speaker and agree. Itās fab.
Seems as the missus and I both have QI capable phones I got this little powerbank thing, I must admit it rocks. Although I wasnāt expecting a power button on the side and was wondering why QI charging wasnāt working and was about to return it.
There was a severe lack of instructions to be fair.
Got some of the blue ones yesterday, they were only Ā£1 more expensive.
I love them
Want one
Get behind me in the queue
This interview with the company behind it says that it could be produced for āthe price of an SUVā.
First gen, so Iāll give it a swerve until version 3, but itās a stunning concept.
You want to sit in a plastic drone??? Are you all MADā¦OK silly question.
Of course you do.
ā¦and can you drop off a few Amazon packages while youāre at it.
Where am I supposed to store the hog-tied?
Bound to be van-sized version soon. Much less chance of being pulled over
Jeez a āWhite Vanā droneā¦now thereās a frightening thought.
Can you imagine THOUSANDS of those being flown unfettered by the kind of idiots who now drive 20 year old Subaru Imprezas?
If you want your kids to work in a growing industry, get them to train as Air Crash Investigatorsā¦they are going to need a lot of them.
Just think we could escape from the Betty Ford Clinics that are oil rigs and FPSOās with out requiring a helicopter
Down side how many more prison breaks willl occur ?
