Northstar
I haven't seen it yet sadly, but it's been on my "to watch" list for some time and you can't really go wrong for $5. I will probably watch it later tonight.

If you like that you may want to check out "Zodiac" if you haven't seen it.

It's also by Fincher and has a good ensemble cast. It's quite long at 2 hours 40 minutes but worth the time.

Parasom A1 Bluetooth headset.

For anyone interested, a small review is coming in the headphone thread I started.
 
I've got a 55 inch and my fiancée thinks it's big enough whatever the position.

I bet the speakers are terrible though.

@Shaun I've heard good things about the LG OLED sets. I'd be tempted myself but they are still quite pricey and I don't think 4K will be too far away.

Out of the box the picture is fantastic, after a bit of research and tweaking it's now closer to stunning.

I nearly went with a Sony 4k but that particular set was no comparison, going on the viewing distance recommendations I wouldn't really see any benefit of 4k anyway.

Was plan A walking?

That's plan D.

Plan C was to patch a puncture.

Plan B is the throw in a new tube, the 'quick fix' if you like.
 
So plan A was to not ride? That's not an option. :lol:
 
Plan A is not get a puncture. Plan B is to have a spare tube to throw in so I can continue riding. Plan C is patching the tube (which is slow and cumbersome). Plan D is walking the bike home.

Plan A regular programming and all of the other are back-ups, hence not needing to mention that. After all, if I planned to get punctured I wouldn't be a very sensible cyclist now, would I? lol
 
A soldering jig and a cheap Lumia 640 as a backup phone (and to see what Win Phone 10 is like lol...):

New phone time (3.5 years with the Xperia S is long enough), Nexus 5X, got to wait for a new Nano-sim to turn up from GiffGaff before I can actually use it.

I didn't buy three.

Bend test it and fail miserably. It's built that solid. Not sure if you've encountered this, but have you ran into a problem where the keyboard stops communicating after waking up from sleep?

Now I wait patiently for Pascal and Broadwell - E.

Technically I bought these. But then my mom gave me the money back and said happy birthday. 👍

I didn't even consider packing shorts when I left for London. I've already lost one pair of slacks due to (ass) wear on the bike.

Freshly ordered cycling shorts to save my trousers from taking the abuse.
