What's everyone buying on payday?

[cyberknight]

I had an austerity April and miserly May so now I can book and pay for my holidays.

Paying the last of mine off come pay day and hiring a bouncy castle for sons birthday party, ruddy lawn mowers just gone phoom as well ;(

That's odd. They usually go whuttawhuttawhuttawhutta

a new front hub for the 9:zero:7

current one has imploded from the axle outwards

on the plus side, I kept my teeth and nuts

Plenty of cycling applications for the smartphone. I think it's a useful cycling accessory.

Doubtless. Here's one I dug up not aimed particularly at cyclists, but I'm sure those used to having access to certain facilities will appreciate it:

 

[hedder2212]

New motorcycle helmet.
New motorcycle jacket.
New indicators for the zed 400.
New levers and right hand side panel for the zed 400.
New tyres for the zed 400 AND moped.
Mot for the zed 400.
Tax for the zed 400.
Insurance for the next year for the zed 400.

Cant even spend anything on bicycles because of my bloody motorbike and the C**T that put nails all over the road just so id over them knowing I cant see them when im setting out at 3am to get to work that and I dropped the thing last night and the MOT is due + insurers cancelled policy because I forgot to send them a copy of my licence

A large secondhand fridge. My cunning scheme for lager production requires a fermenting chamber that is controlled at between 0 and 2 degrees C via a £10 electronic thermostat from ebay. The chances of five decent gallons of drinkable FYP are slim but, hey!, it's worth a shot.

Seriously though, thanks for the idea. You can see how out of it I am in some ways technologically speaking...

Went to to a large chain store the other day which I won't name [Carphone Warehouse], where the way in which my questions were answered rapidly gave the impression that I am too stupid for a smart phone. I'm so glad the salesman gave me this impression, else I may have mistakenly given him money.

On a more cheerful note, do you have any recommendations for apps?

 

[contadino]

Angry birds.
Candy something or other...

That's what smart phones are all about.

If only there was an app that makes fat fingers thin...

ETA: Endomondo.

Smartphones are for porn.


A friend told me.

I work in the mobile industry, if you have any questions that you'd like honest answers to please feel free to PM me

 

[jowwy]

New set of cranks for the 29er

New bottom bracket for the Ti

 

[potsy]

New tyres for the single-speed and a few tools so I can fettle it myself.

 

[steveindenmark]

Hopefully a Brompton. But it depends how the auction goes.

 

[djb1971]

hope fatsno front hub, spokes and nips ordered. All for less than a new jones 135 hub!

a new pair of maxxis mammoths and a pair of wtb nano 40c tyres.

with luck, that'll be enough for a while!

 

[the_mikey]

New 9 speed cassette, chain, bar tape and cables.
