I've just subscribed to the theory of bangernomics and swapped my 02 Ford Focus 1.6 CL for a 97 BMW 523i SE

And yes, I mean swapped, no money changed hands

I'm cycling into work and back most days, and I buy toys the bike and gear for it, I justify this as I'm saving £25 each day doing the ride (round trip 45 miles) I've also started running from Balham to Soho as Balham is a stop on my way in if I get the train.....so now I just need to look at what to buy for running ;0)

I've got the Polar watch and belt that give me cals burnt (about 2800 each day!!) and then puts it onto the computer.....I've got a good MBT bike with road wheels, circa £500 for the wheels and 2k for the bike. The bike went through the company

Asics Kayanos for the feet - Garmin Forerunner for the wrist - maybe something for the in-between

Seriously thinking of getting an A8.

Seriously thinking of getting an A8.

A8's are for oldies - get a S8

[Board Game Geek]

Being of a musical nature , I opted for this.

Very happy with it

They're fantastic - n5gooner, get yourself down to London City Runner and they'll assess your gait, size you up and sell you the perfect trainers. Excellent, no-nonsense customer service when I went.

Have you downloaded the SDK for it? I haven't got round to it yet, but I really really want to. I want to see what he's capable of. I'd quite like him to spend more time in the kitchen on a Monday, plus I have a rug that I'd like him not to go round (and those sensors dont seem to work too well for that) - i was wondering if I could program a route in for him?

[/nerd]

ahh damn, that's what happens when you never read the manual.. an SDK for my OP !!

nb: it's called OP as you end up talking to it as it does its thing if i get home early, OP = Optimus Pet..

the missus bought a variable colour side lamp, with......

a remote

If it's the Philips one it's fantastic - we use ours every evening... very soothing

Also bought some new golf clubs (for impending time on the bench) and a Canon 450D
