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 didnā€™t 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 wouldnā€™t 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. :lou_eyes_to_sky:

A couple of Anker chrimbo gifts:

Got a pair of these Soundbud curves:

They are very comfy and havenā€™t cut out once yet. This is unfortunate as Iā€™ve heard every second of Saints getting dicked at Wembley.

Got one of these Soundcore nano speakers for Kid Goat:

Itā€™s 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 thatā€™s apparently taking Mumsnet by storm

Flightradar 24

Itā€™s 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 itā€™s the app to download

I didnā€™t 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. Theyā€™ve 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. Itā€™s 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 wasnā€™t expecting a power button on the side and was wondering why QI charging wasnā€™t 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

Hang on is @saintbletch on commission?

This interview with the company behind it says that it could be produced for ā€˜the price of an SUVā€™.

First gen, so Iā€™ll give it a swerve until version 3, but itā€™s a stunning concept.

You want to sit in a plastic drone??? Are you all MADā€¦OK silly question. :lou_lol:
Of course you do.

ā€¦and can you drop off a few Amazon packages while youā€™re at it.

Where am I supposed to store the hog-tied?

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 FPSOā€™s with out requiring a helicopter

Down side how many more prison breaks willl occur ?
