Do you own an item that is a blatant piece of pretentious nobbery?

A coffee machine modelled on the Sizewell B reactor?

A turntable manufactured by NASA for missions to pluto, with a stylus made from a virgins fingernail?

An Apple XXXVIX mobile phone in a custom case, plated with gold from Steve Jobs teeth?

Then this is the thread to tell us all about it.

Being such a down to earth ruffty tuffty sort there's not much jn the Drago household that fits the bill, but I did find one item. Being the Desperate Dan lookalike that I am I can't just have a Thermos or a cheap flask from Poundland. No, a stainless steel behemoth, made in America by rough men with names like Lance and Brad, from a design that has remained more or less unchanged in 107 years, with a lifetime guarantee, a design so long lived that pre war examples are still in daily use 4 generations on from their original owner. Ladies and gentleman, I give you the Stanley vacuum flask:

I don’t have a business or cards. It’s a nice thing though.

I've also got the food flask, which is much the same thing but with different proportions so you can get a can of beans or soup in there.

I've always fancied one of their traditional American lunch pails (the metal one, not the plastic one they also sell) but not having a job I'd find it hard to justify the expense now.
