ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Nope, it's not a Tardis. I do sought of have one of those, for my model railway. It's a Police Box, but it's not a licensed Doctor Who product, but it could get away as a Tardis, I do believe.McStanley Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My family got a new TV some time around and it probably doubled the height and width of the old. It feels so strange for the first week to have a huge tv... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hughesy 254 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I already had a pretty nice 4K HDR TV, but now I’ve moved in with my dad since the passing of my mum, I wanted a nice TV in the living room. Not just nice, but way OT, OLED is just phenomenal compared to LCD or IPS screens because blacks are actually black as pixels turn off. Also the TV is so thin, like mm thick, it’s crazy. The HDR is also on another level compared to my other TV, and that one wasn’t exactly low end. OLED reminds me of plasma TV, it sucks that that tech didn’t take off as it was so much better than current tech except OLED. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 @Hughesy I hope the funeral went well and that's a lot of money for a TV. I wouldn't spend that on a TV. I don't even watch much TV. McStanley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hughesy 254 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I don't watch TV much, but I do game a lot, a top end TV makes the world of difference for the picture quality. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Tickets that last a month are cheaper overall than paying for a ticket every time you board a bus. DiRTFanNo.1 (Previously McStanley) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing more valuable than a bus ticket considering it even beats the price of my T300RS which I can't use 🙂 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DiRTFanNo.1 You can't define it exactly because people have different interpretations of value, so people will always judge things in different ways. However, I would personally say something: - that you don't buy that often (e.g. set of headphones) - out of the ordinary for you to buy (e.g. a new exhaust for my car) - new that you're truly excited about (e.g. tickets to a gig) As I said, people will have their own interpretations of this, but I think that this thread recently has seen a lot of the same stuff repeated *cough* Hornby *cough* and it's getting a tad repetitive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 OK. I thought model railway products are out of the ordinary, as I have never seen anyone post about model railway purchases, apart from myself. 😞 DirtFanNo.1 (Previously McStanley) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KittyFit90 313 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Just got my brand new set of Titanium Dental Picks. No I'm not a dentist but the tools cross over very nicely when used to pick calcite off of fossils. I went for Titanium because they won't dull as quickly and they look cool. I'm gonna be the envy of the Paleontology Lab muhahaha!!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hughesy 254 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 A NutriBullet blender as I'm getting into the whole healthy smoothie craze. Apple juice, Mango, Kiwi, some nuts, kale and some G Fuel for some extra energy, it was so good. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hughesy 254 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 A ASUS MG278Q 27 144hz freesync monitor. I started playing Fortnite on PC with mouse and keyboard and found I'm so much better, but atm I'm limited to 60fps which is a huge disadvantage in this game. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hughesy 254 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 So angry. Monitor was great, playing at 144fps was amazing, then the monitor broke. Suddenly there was white flickering horizontal lines along the screen so I’m having to return it. There was only the option to refund, which means I can’t get a new one until the money is refunded, totally ruining my weekend.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColinMcRae:DiRTFanNo.1 70 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Oh, so sorry to read that, @Hughesy. I hope you are able to get another of the same monitor soon. DiRTFanNo.1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
