Tried Cadbury ones ages ago - even the texture isn't remotely right! Oh, try Arrow (give it a few episodes grace) and Ray Donovan on Prime.

An espresso machine.
Coffee shop coffees, without going to the coffee shop.

Deathstroke Book and Mask Set: Amazon.co.uk: Tony S Daniel, Sandra Florea: 9781401259983: Books http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1401 ... oks&sr=1-1The mask is as nasty as you'd expect, but it'll look well on my wall.  And so on I've only one more old skool figure to get and it's doing my head in. I bought an old skool AvP re-do set and the QC dept. clearly weren't working that day, so that's an email to send...

 Face on, Ripley doesn't look that great, but a little posing and it works. The eggs come in a cheeky carton and look good but are cheaply made, same with the 'huggers.

Went to Calumet today, and picked up my birthday / Christmas present... Nikon D750 and 24 - 85mm Lens.

Nice.
Got my Lumia 950 yesterday. Feels a bit big in the hand, but the 1020 feels too small now. But a huge step forward over the 1020 in performance terms. Audible loads instantly, which is nice (it is probably my most used app - and until now one of the most infuriating.

I had, (and still have) the D90, which I'm hoping will be used to get my daughter interested in photography, which shouldn't be too difficult, as she already enjoys taking snaps on her iPhone. Had a quick look in the box to make sure that nothing was smashed when I got it home, but I'll probably take a day or two to read the seriously thick manual before I start taking pictures.

Some excellent pound shop wonders - nails and screws, super glue, disposable knives, mini locks, parcel tape, junior hacksaw, dust sheet, cable ties etc. I've a few tool boxes and it's great stuff for having to hand in each one instead of looking through each.

I haven't even seen it As I've gotten older there's a general desire to build, fix, and tinker... I'm pretty sure the reverse is true for a lot of people! But there's also that little bit of 'I have just the thing' satisfaction.

I own the first season and it's in my Netflix queue, but I can't be starting another season of anything when I'm well behind on Grimm, Walking Dead, Jessica Jones... And you'll have to get over your hatred of superhero shows madam

So I'm ahead of you on Grimm? Me and the superhero genre will never get on. But things would be pretty boring if we all liked the same things

There's kids ahead of me on Grimm. Recently spent ages getting up to date with Suits and GoT (kinda).
