The Christmas Loot thread

[Darth Wagtaros]

I got some Deadpool trade paperbacks and a book on sodering.

[Ideologue]

Hey Ide check this shit out:





Pretty sure I am going to be sick soon.

Awesome.  The novelty giant ones are way overpriced, though they are quite amazing to behold.

Anyway, I got something after all.  Five giant candy bars!  And one regular-sized.  Score.

Also cash.

[Capetan Mihali]

I got some German beer, some Zycam zinc lozenges, hand lotion, some fresh undershirts, and a book by the fascist Ernst Jünger.

Among other things I got this:



It's quite a beast. The assembly instructions have about 350 pages... 

Good to know I wasn't the only one getting LEGO this Christmas.

A bicycle

Oh, do tell, what is it ?

It's a replacement for the one I got robbed three months ago.
It's a Lombardo, non properly a MTB but a kind of crossover,
look on the webs for Lombardo Amantea 200 Men; sorry I forgot my imageshack password

Are you going to be doing some soldering soon? Really gratifying work IMO. My first job during high school was working for the guy who owned the TWA pilot's shop in the St. Louis airport. One of the things he had me do was assemble headsets from wholesale parts. He gave me a buck for every completed headset. Eventually I could do quite a few of them over an evening or a weekend. Decent money for a high school job, and I didn't have to sling burgers.

Looks cool and a nice usable bike to boot. 

Always shitty to have a bike nicked, a mate's son had his bike nicked a couple of months ago, and he managed to find it on ebay, though he had to move heaven and earth to get the police to do anything about recovering the bike and arresting the perp.

Incidentally, I just converted one of my hack/pub bikes into a single speed; it works surprisingly well, so much so I've decided it's not one of my usual bodges but can possible be categorized as a 'proper job'. 

[Eddie Teach]

How many bikes do you own?

[HVC]

Clothes and money. Used the money to go out boxing day and buy parts to upgrade my computer. Boxing day shopping sucks ass

[mongers]

How many bikes do you own?

How many pairs of shoes do you own ?

[Eddie Teach]

Only one that I actually wear.

Yeah, for my steampunk costume, and whatever household tasks demand it.  I want to try to pick up a few life skills like home repair or sewing.

[fhdz]

The two most useful - widely applicable, and money-saving - home repair skillsets you can have are basic carpentry and basic plumbing.
