^^ no probs . They're larger than you think, but are actually a nice size and good quality overall (don't drop 'em on the hard floor though -- easily scratched).

Oh, and before I go, the "oh so impressive looking" mega chunky 3 Disc Deluxe Edition of King Kong is my latest acquisition .
What, you think I paid £25-30 for it?.........am I mad?

Currently available in the HMV sale for the princely sum of £4 .

.....has to be the bargain of the year (all 3 days of it ) so go on folks.....rush on down to your local Hoomv and see if they've got some....

Talking of Hoomv bargains....got another bargain the other day:



Can you guess what it is yet?
Actually got this from the Zavvi sale for a measly £3 (hint: it's a really funny film).

Liz: It would just be nice if we could spend a bit more time together, just the two of us. It's just with Ed here, it's no wonder I want to bring my flat mates out and then that only exacerbates things.
Shaun: What do you mean?
Liz: Well you guys hardly get on, do you?
Shaun: No, what does exacerbate mean?

Seeing my name has changed from Gaffer74 to Gaffer, I thought i'd switch avatar's too......to a more "retro" one .

Still a work in progress, but here's the "taster" (<---- up now).

Don't worry <mojo>.....it's not a skull .




EDIT: Also updated my siggie , same info but in a different format .

Default Took a punt on some pigeons.

Was in HMV today and noticed quite a good sale on the CD's (2 for a tenner).

Already have the two most recent Kasabian and Kaiser Chiefs albums, but for some reason I had missed out The Fratellis (Costello Music - Flathead, Whistle for the Choir, Chelsea dagger and Baby Fratelli justified the buy )......so that's one down.

I was then a bit stuck on what to get next. The problem with these sales is that usually I have all the decent stuff already so when I do find something worth getting, I'm stuck as to what to get next to qualify for the offer (e.g. 2 for 1 or 3 for £20 etc) .

I picked up The magic Numbers as I thought maybe it'd be good (I've only heard one track from that album). In the end, I took a gamble and swapped it for The Pigeon Detectives. They vaguely ring a bell (and bear in mind I'm typing this before I've heard them or any of their tracks) so I plumped for that (Wait For Me) as the second one.

I only hope it isn't a bad choice .......... time to see if "Gaffer's Blind Buying of the Day" will pay off ........

If your'e into Kasabian, Kaiser cheifs and Fratellis then you'll enjoy The pidgeon detectives (most probably) and most people like them more than The magic numbers.

I take it this thread is just about your everyday bargains and buyings?

You're right on both counts (yes, it's my bits'n'bobs thread, and yes, they're a great band - I'm glad the gamble paid off ).

Re: music...I listen to pretty much anything really (recently been going through a brit rock phase....but also listen to stuff from mowtown to dance to classical to "world" etc ).

Default Nintendo mushrooms everywhere

On my way to work this morning I followed a car with a mushroom hanging in the back. We tried to get a picture with a mobile phone but the quality was very poor

Here it is anyway!!



(the bright lump to the left is the mushroom)
