strawberry float have they done to Gromit? Poor thing.

The Gromits are all mini versions of those used to create a statue trail in Bristol, i'm really happy with the one i bought, he looks awesome.

It'll go well with a winter coat I have.
I went from wanting to buy all 4 in the collection, to just getting the grey one. That's the best I can do when it comes to buying things I don't need*: I can limit it but not cut it out completely.

*I don't have tweed/wool caps with the chevron pattern, but I do have caps with a similar feel.

Picked up the blue tweed for £23.59 inc. P&P in NewEra BF sale. Would have saved £9 had I waited until today to order both :fp:

My feet got soaked on the way to work yesterday morning and I was squelching around in sodden shoes

Grim.

So on the way back to the hotel I had an impulse buy and got some Doc Martins' 1460's Black. My god my feet are toasty today. :wub:

There was a Where's Wally? one. Damn. Wish I knew about these sooner

Bought an Annoy-o-tron from eBay:

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre ... 3393797404

Emits a high pitched beep at random intervals between 5 - 120 minutes.
The button battery means it can run for three months!

I've hidden under the veneer in my colleagues desk, inside a tiny gap and glued back over it.

He's off today and tomorrow.
I'll report back Monday.

Edit: it's just gone off. That's amazing! There's no way he'll trace it! :slol:

How will you try to control your laughter so no banana split finds out it was you?

Office bants!

Love it.

Looking forward to the next update.

Sold out on New Era so had to buy via Footshop I bet my accounts are being cleaned out as I type.

Sending this back because the front is too high :fp:

That's hilarious :lol:

I stayed in a hotel I Cardiff about a month ago, and was woken up by a loud random beep about 10 times throughout the evening. I wonder if it was the same gadget

The house next door is vacant and a fire alarm has been doing this for strawberry floating months.

One of my kids had a musical candle type thing on their birthday cake this year - played a whiny high pitched version of Happy Birthday To You that was supposed to last for a few seconds.

Damn thing broke and would not shut the strawberry float up! As an experiment I put it in a jar in the garage and it's still in there beeping away several weeks later! :lol:

I think that happened at some point in my life as well. I was interested in electronics so I would often break them open. Sometimes they had lights as well.

Trouble was the batteries would be soldered in, so yeah only way to kill it is basically a hammer or acid or fire, all could go wrong.

Yeah I may do a tear down of it just to get a look at what's inside. I had expected the battery to give out by now so I'm quite impressed by it.
