My wife purchased this and it showed up yesterday. I thought it was too cool to not share.
It's a digital stethoscope that shows the heart rhythm and rate on the display and has a built-in amplifier to make it easier to hear the heart beat. If you have long term patients, it will record it so you can compare from one day to the next.
And yes, she opted for the pink cover and ear pieces to keep the doctors away from it.
I bought two vinyl albums for my own collection for the first time in many years - in fact, I've only bought something like 4 vinyls since I was a kid, and the last two have been gifts for friends. My last vinyl purchase for myself was Rush - Permanent Waves 40th Anniversary Super Deluxe boxset. These two albums were just £30 each, which is something of a bargain considering how much some places charge for vinyl these days.
Both of these albums mean a lot to me personally. 'Olias of Sunhillow' is a vinyl that my uncle had in his collection, and I've had the album since I was about 16 - I've wanted the original vinyl for years, and the one I just bought is near-identical to the original release - textured cover, gatefold sleeve and full inlay materials. Mike Oldfield is a relatively new addition to my music listening canon, and I've been listening to his 'classic' era albums since about 2018 - 'Ommadawn' is actually not my favourite Oldfield album, but it is still so good that it ranks among my current favourites.
Both albums are symbolic of my own musical style - very much a solo effort, and so these are going to go on display in my new music room here at my Mum's...
I have bought some "new" dusty old games for my GT collection, check them out:
Found this Collector's Edition of GT5 at a local games shop, couldn't let it pass.
Price: 22 euros, everything seems to be there, the Apex magazine, the game itself (with manual included) and the 5 exclusive pictures... all in a pretty good shape, except for the outer cover box which definitely has seen better days (sadly it has a massive tear on the underside, nothing a little duct tape couldn't fix but yeah).
... and there's more:
Heck yeah!! Look at this beauty, the original japanese edition of the 1st Gran Turismo!
I'm so glad I found this (also on the same shop), the overall condition of the CD, manual and box is very good so it's worth every single one of the 15 euros I've payed for it.
PS: for those interested, here's a picture of my GT collection with everything I bought so far:
This is what I'd consider a very "cool" collection (because it's sitting on top of a freezer duh...)
I know this is not the most complete or valuable collection ever, as I'm missing some of the anniversary editions as well as GT Sport and what not, but please keep in mind the fact that 4 years ago I only had one Gran Turismo in my collection (GT6).
So, this collection has come a long way since then, I guess!
I definitely don't consider myself a hardcore GT fan by any means, but the series has steadily grown on me for the past few years, and I'm yet to play most of these games as I've only played GT6 so far, and I'm currently playing GT7 and 5.
I'll get there someday!
Bought it this past summer so that I can go travel through airports, due to all the dumb checks
What freedom are we talking Bout nowadays in this country ?!
