Recent Purchases Picture Thread!!

[edd666999]

Ipad 4 for her (as much as i really didnt want to) And not yet purchased but the second they are in stock a nexus 10 for me!

was going to buy an I pad for the wife and also use it for my 3 year old to play games on its just the cost tbh, in order to hold a couple of movies for travelling etc I decided I needed the 64gb one and would also need it for internet so it would have to be the dearest one at £650 or so.
then there is the minimum of £10 per month for the internet use through the sim card,,, and that's before any software purchases / games etc.
seems a lot of money tbh.
I bought my 6yr old a ds but it is a bit much for my 3yr old as they only sell the 3d one now and no child under 7yrs old should use the 3d function,,,, I know you can turn the 3d off but he will prob just turn it on again.
there is little game machines in toys r us etc but they are just really leap frog ones and the games are very limited etc.
good purchase for the wife though 

Get the little one a nexus 7, bit more rugged and smaller to hold, expandable memory and you can get them for £130 i think, app availability is pretty much the same from ios to android.

That Gardsman nest box is pretty cool. Yes, glory-hole entry-hole position will make a difference due to altering the depth of the bottom of the nest from the entry and so attracting different species. But the size of the hole is also important regarding which species will be interested in adopting it. Robin prefer open fronted nest boxes.

What's even more important to birds is the feeling of security from predators and also other birds. Make sure that any local cats learn that they are extremely unwelcome on your property. So you are probably looking at least 15ft off the ground and with the entry not facing into strong winds.

I hope you'll share what happens - Bird porn?

I will start a thread for the "Bird Watch Porn" when the squatters move in. 

Read somewhere about placing it on sheltered outside wall of the house. Always assumed they should be placed in trees or such. Would love Robin's or Blue Tits (any jokes about my wife standing out in the cold are more than welcome).

Grabbed an iPad 4 for £320 brand new on the bay just recently... for reference you can get a refurbished iPad 2 from Apple for £259, both delivered prices.

If that's brand new that's amazing. I know how much margin retailers make on them, and that would have been sold at a loss to the seller. Good work

Private seller, they had 3 available... some sort of prize thing... all 3 went within a few hours.
I have an iPad 2 that I got from Apple, but the iPad4 at that price was too good to turn down. 
The iPad2 is now going to make a wicked xmas present for a family member, seeing as I still have the box and 3 months warranty for it

You 100% sure its an iPad 4th Gen? Definitely got a lightning connector on the bottom?

I would assume if they are that interested then they would Google it like I did Stealth. 

....How does one know if one is interested without having been given even a small clue as to what it is? And then what would someone write in Google's Search field?

I mistook the port for a USB port as I looked at it in haste because there was nothing to hold my interest but only something to arouse my idle curiosity.

I thought that one of the fundamental things which makes this forum community great was everyone being helpful to each other.

The small clue was the companies name on the outside.

The rest is easy or do you need it on a spoon like everything else?

....What happened to your first two sets? I'm looking for just the inner (reversing and fog) units to replace my OEM ones:
