Very nice ticket. Most I've won is like $30 but that's only betting 2 games with $5-10. Over $200 profit is a pretty nice payday.

I don't play all that often either, only when I get a strong gut feeling. My last winning ticket was Labour Day weekend, sweeping all four CFL games and even attending one of them. And hey, a win's a win. Whether $20 or $200, if you made profit its a good day 👍

Just ordered a Lenovo (used to be IBM) Thinkpad Edge E525 laptop. Yes, its more business orientated, reason why I wanted something like this is I hate the consumer line of laptops being too shiny shiny plastic and kinda flimsy. I wanted something relatively durable.

Before the deal that they had on the website, the total specified price for it was £890. This includes:

AMD A8-3500M Processor
6 GB RAM
320 GB HDD
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Win7 Home edition
15.6 HD screen (really, its 1366x786 or something weird like that)

Well, IBM must have been wanting to get rid of this rather nice stock, as they were selling them for basically 450 quid less than the advertised price, to about £435. Then on top of that, they offered a eCoupon of £50 off final price after VAT. Which brings it to the final price of £388

£388 for an laptop with an AMD A8 processor?! Well, that's pretty much a solid gold bargain!

Needless to say, it was purchased. Now I just have to wait for the delivery, estimated 1-2 weeks of shipping with 3-6 days of delivery. Time to wait for February then.....

The deal is still available so far, the link leads to my original post in the Computer and Electronics area Link to get a laptop for a storming deal
 
Got bored ever since selling the porsche so I decided to buy another motorbike. Only 250cc's for the time being, Hopefully will be getting an R1 or S1000 RR in the near future.

After having one of my high anxiety days I decided some retail therapy wouldn't go a miss. Wife went made when I rolled out the bike shop after dropping 3k on this little beauty.

Nice bike Shemster. It has all the bits and cogs and wheels and cables and stuff. 👍 I'm sure it's worth every penny.

I know nothing about bikes...

Got some proper pics up now in the Biking Thread, better than using one of the wrong colour from the webs.
 
One of these;

Sony's new Micro Vault Mach USB3.0 pendrive, 32GB.
The marketing blurb goes; Super Speed, Metal Body!

The aluminum body does feel pretty slick alright, and it's definitely got the speed. Surprisingly, it exceeds its advertised limit of "up to 120MB/s";

Pretty impressive!



Come to think of it, I didn't post the specs on my machine from a few pages back; might as well do so now since I got a new picture;

I just got a plus membership for the year so bought this for $10 today. Played through the first level on highest difficulty and it's a ton of fun so far.

Oh and Quicksilver/Roxy is having a huge sale online so picked up a bunch of clothes for my girlfriend and I too :)
