No, she's mostly Scots-Irish. She just has a thing for them.

She's wanted it for forever, now she has it.

 

I'm enjoying it but then I also enjoyed the old Galaga game. The satellites are an interesting addition (push the right stick to drop the satellites, firing in the direction you want) and the difficulty ramps up on the 2nd world.

Not strictly a purchase, but I'll stick it in here:

Garmin Nuvi 250 as a gift. Bloody awesome mapping (much better than TomTom in Europe), and a really nifty device, all for £88.

 

4 cans of spray paint (2 black primer, 1 white, 1 glow in the dark), scotch tape, hotglue sticks, foam padded case (which is now sans padding), sadpaper.

and two packets of jelly tots.

*edit

and a very special bottle of cola. heheh. its named after a linux distro - packet of jelly tots to the winning guess

 

Gentoo Cola?

 

?

 

omg I need one of those, one of my lecturers would die with happiness if he saw that.

 

capnPedro congrats!

I saw the bottle in the shop earlier today.. took a complete double take.

I was like WTF

 

4 cans Grolsch and 2 cans Red K cider 20 Lambert and buttlicker - total 11.12

 

@Ubuntu buyers - I was exactly the same. Double-double take for me, not only was it called Ubuntu, it was on a BOGOF in our Uni caff for a couple of days!

[edit]

 

But was it any good? Or did it try hard but fail miserably to suit most peoples tastes?

 

Ubuntu Cola! I have to get me some! NOW!

 

I'll find out...

*opens the bottle*

it doesnt taste bad, but its not *that* great. its quite generic tasting actually.

Be sure to drink responsibly

 

Well at least its Fair Trade, unlike some other brands of Cola who rob the whole world (*cough* microsoft* splutter * apple*)

580w Hiper PSU
Samsung DVD R/W
Gigabyte GZ-X2 Midi Tower case
120mm Fan (to replace a noisy one in my case)
Mouse pad

Mostly bits to get the Mrs' PC up and fully working again.

 

Heheh, growing some mods with any luck! The tiles are to finish off the top of my new workbench in the basement and make it both more durable and nice looking. The light is for under the small shelf at the top of the workbench backboard. The power strip will be for the right side of the workbench backboard. I have another for the left. Lots of sockets available for scroll saw, Dremel, essential workbench PC and other fun things. And yes... I'll have pictures soon!

 

How many sockets on that power strip?
