High rolled a bit on the trading cards.

Some trading cards - £34
Some other trading cards - £36
A playmat - £20
A ticket for a tournament - £10
A ticket for a different, larger tournament - £37

I’ll post photos if they’re of interest when they come in but ultimately it’s just shiny cardboard

Not a bad price. Is that a series 1? I've been thinking about getting an Apple Watch for ages but keep changing my mind and got confused by the different models and Apples structure of the releases.

Original model Series 1
Series 2 that had a better chip, battery, screen, added GPS
Series 3 that has all of the above plus cellular calling
Series 2 was discontinued because the difference between that and the Series 3 wasn't that big
Original Series 1 model was discontinued and replaced with one that had the faster chip from the Series 2 but still called the Series 1


its series 2, I wanted to see if I like and use it and then I may get series 4 (assuming there is a difference and its released later this year) I ideally would of liked silver/white to match by iPhone X, so far I love the Apple watch the fact I can change tracks and higher and lower the volume on my AirPods with the watch is a major bonus, I don't want or need cellular but I wanted GPS so series 2 seemed to suit me,

That's four separate things to charge, fun metagame gets bundled in with the MP3 playback.

Probably more pedigree tiger bengal / original tabby type cats.

Seriously. If I'm keeping score that's £6000 on cats in the last few months?

Fair play, I suppose.

RichardUK do you upgrade (go faster stripes, cybernetic implants) these cats and sell them on for profit or do you have a cattery?

What site do you use to get the Villager Amiibo with every purchase? That's a whole lot of resale value there.

I can't see the point in paying £1400 for a cat that looks just like a normal tabby you can get for free (plus vaccination and vet checkup fees) from a rescue centre.

Yeah but if they breed that's basically the means of production.

Yes it’s a F2 Bengal

It’s actually more, we have now got six Bengals in total but I don’t really want to add up how much it’s all cost, also spent quite a lot on aluminium, mesh, decking, rivets and tools including a air compressor to build them outside aviaries so they can enjoy the nice weather, we have nearly built the first prototype aviary but it’s requiring a lot of effort!

It’s my partner he is the one who likes keeping various animals, we don’t buy and sell but he may breed them in the future (Bengals need to be bred or spayed or they can die)

Didn't you say they didn't have any major bred-in health problems before? :shifty: Dying seems like a potenial health problem
