^Exactly what he said. To call veg organic, you need to use 'natural' remedies to pests, no chemicals or fertilizers etc etc.

 

Nemasys stuff uses nematode worms to either kill pests or just piss them off to a point where they leave (ants hate sharing space with them). The stuff is approved as organic in the same way that buying a load of ladybirds for aphid control would be, it's just shop bought natural predators

 

Nematodes aren't chemical pesticides. They're roundworms, so there's nothing unnatural about them.

 

Oh - I stand corrected, said the man in the orthopaedic shoes. I quite like the idea of controlling pests with worms actually!

I might even look into it...

Thanks for clearing that up, chaps!

 

i52 ticket + camping

Picked up the Sonic Transformed Racing game on offer over at GamersGate, should be another game I can get the whole family playing on the media PC, even when I'm not there (the first being Joe Danger 2 )

 

Nice one. I was going to get mine until the (by that time) Wife said she'd playing a surprise honeymoon add on that weekend.

I think I might have to do a winter LAN....

 

Ah unfortunate timing, I'm looking forward to it, seeing people I haven't since last year, but also the new location sounds better in most ways (apart from price )

Camping or hotel?

 

Beyerdynamic MMX 101iE

Usually retail at £100 - bargain at £55!

They are awesome - I didn't realise in-ear headphones had come so far.

 

A Strellson Jamie UMA shirt for work.

It has cuffs and is a slim fit with a very breathable wrinkle free cotton fabric.
It's hard to explain what it looks like. Almost 'technical'.

And a black silk tie.


I also received this GMK mini pack from Geekhack

 

Some magnets so I can mod my X52 HOTAS in prep for Star Citizen / Elite: Dangerous.

Oh, and all 5 seasons of "Lost in Space" on DVD for under 26ukp @ Zavvi.

 

Corsair Vengeance K65.

Decided to try it based on my friends insistence. Will be using it tomorrow on the RS.

 

It's PAYDAY! Which means biking kit!

RockShox Reverb Seatpost - Been after one of these for months!
High5 Energy Gels (BOGOF, so 40 sachets!) - ALL THE ENERGY! 400 BABIES!
One Industries Brigade 3/4 length sleeve Jersey - I needed a summer jersey as I don't really have anything else atm

 

Didn't mention last when I ordered them last week, but they should be arriving tomorrow and sometime next week.

Dual monitor desk stand and Corsair MM200 Extended, courtesy of my parents for my b-day which is in May!

Looking forward to trying out landscape on my 2nd monitor.

 

A cheap foot pedal for some extra control whilst gaming. I hate holding shift or alt to sprint in games so this works extremely well. I opened it up and it could take a mechanical switch methinks.

 

Bought myself an Xbox One with Titanfall.

Ordered a new suit today. Sadly no pictures as it needs to be made first, will probably be finished sometime in June. Went for a dark blue 9oz herringbone and a violet 2-shot lining. All in all I'm very happy with the experience, went to Cad and the Dandy on Savile Row. Despite the eponymous location, they're actually rather well priced, plus they have a great little gadget on their website for building a suit up from scratch;lots of fun to be had on that thing if you're into it.
