Best - disposable Stanley-knife type things, some string, some Fablon-type vinyl, some coffee to try (I only even drink tea rarely), a box of Cornflakes that will enable me to get the bowl I want :lol: , an Apple lead for the hard of thinking in work, some bacon McCoys (I wanna try them), batteries for the nephew's toys, a magazine for mother dearest that'll keep her sweet... Oh, speaking of sweets, the dispenser in work will now be filled with jelly beans, Skittles and Smarties. Gotta love the pound shop :D

Middling - Gameseek have sold me a Predator figure loose in it's packaging having clearly been opened :evil: . The figure's actually in good nick so I'll be sending them a photo of the packaging and demanding a refund without return :twisted:

These are cool, but the accessories can be broken taking them out of the packaging if you're not careful :roll:

Probably won't even store anything in it, it just looks cool.

Got this one coming too.

Also acquired a full set of TMNT figures for the nephew really cheap, and some materials for making photo backdrops...

Tassimo Twinnings Tea doodahs - Ah, curiosity... Since few people in Belfast take tea strong somehow, that's how these taste to me. They're fine, just not what I'm used to.

Couldn't tell if it was just the ridiculous machine's sensors or not, but what came out was very much 'smaller cup'.

Worst - Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Breakfast Loose Tea. It might be half the price of the Suki Tea I bought last but it's finer so some passes through the infuser basket and it tastes no better than a bag of Twinings so it's hardly worth the effort.

Best - Exo Terra Flat Faunarium, cuttlebone, sterilised top soil and a plant pot (I promptly cut in half) ready for the arrival of a Giant African Land Snail.

Seems the sensors don't like cups that are 'too street', if you get me ;)

It filled an entire glass once I tried it again, though it still just tastes like any other cup of tea I've made, just stronger. Why do people buy particular brands of standard teabags? I've tried loads and they all taste the bloody same :?

I went into the shop at Center Parcs to look at rain coats. One brand in XL fit perfect but the 'designer' in XL wouldn't have fit around half of me.

Although frankly I can't help but feel ripped off...
