New TV

Samsung F6670 series model, got a 40" to replace the 32 we have and with the bezel being just mm thick it takes up only a tiny bit more space and it's the shiz :D

I got this feeling on the summer day when you were gone.
I crashed my car into the bridge. I watched, I let it burn.
I threw your sh*t into a bag and pushed it down the stairs.

Does this mean you've got the Samsung Galaxy S4? Mrs V. got one, and she loves it!

Currently my best thing is the pasta maker for Kenwood chef. A couple of weeks ago I tried spaghetti with plain flour and that turned out okay. Then this week I made rigatoni with 00 flour which turned out well. Now I need to master microwaving it.

Got my new VDU glasses this morning. They are for reading and working at a computer. Wow, what a difference. My old glasses aren't even 2 years old, but I noticed that I was having more and more problems with the monitor at work, so I got a new prescription and then glasses for computer work.

My 'normal' pair are varifocals and okay for reading books and great for long distance, but a computer monitor is just the wrong distance to be read comfortably.

The new glasses make a huge difference, even reading up close is a lot sharper. My prescription has changed over the last 2 years, but the doctor said not enough to warrant getting new glasses. Being so darned expensive, I hope the new reading glasses will last a while!

The varifocals with frame and hardened lenses and anti-glare coating cost nearly 600€, the reading glasses don't have the hardened plastic and don't have the anti-glare coating, which puts them at just under 400€ (varifocal, near range)!

When you select a frame, the prices don't look that bad, but once the prescription lens is added into the equation, the prices start getting astronomical.

Mrs V bought some reading glasses recently, which cost her £175. I bought a pair a few months ago. They cost 85p.

Just saying :lol:

When the frames broke on my glasses, I bought a 10€ pair of reading glasses, but I could hardly read anything. My eyes have very different prescriptions, so an off the shelf pair of reading glasses are useless. Having to have a different prescription for reading a book and reading a monitor also doesn't make the whole thing any cheaper.

I wasn't criticising, Dave. I just find it amusing that the wife paid nearly two hundred quid for her glasses and I got mine for under a pound :D

I've got some 'The Crow' novels that could go either way... I might finally see some Ts I ordered months ago, and some more to go with them :oops:

Shopto had a thermos flask for £2.68 delivered though it didn't actually say what it held :roll: , but the pic made it look decent so I gave that a go. My mate's a taxi driver so that might prove useful, or I can use it as a spare to mine.

Bought some very cheap packaging tape that'll do the job nicely when it comes to returning items :)

The Aliens Omnibus is pure win and I've taken out a new sub to the Dark Knight comic.

Tried it, whatever the deal is the GIFs appear 'clear' whether you try to save or host them.
