What was the last thing you bought?

Had a vindaloo delivered last night and it was the weakest curry I've ever had.

It's only fair that I give them an appropriate review and I hope BCF has some suggestions for brutal phrases I should include.

So far I've got: "If you don't like spicy food then you'll love this vindaloo but if you're a fan of hot and spicy foods then you'll be depressed by how extraordinarily mild it is."

That's not nearly scathing enough so BCF I need your help expressing in words how pathetically mild it was.

I would have thought "tasteless muck" would suffice.

I mean, if its a curry and it has fuck all flavour ... its not a curry

Summina effects pedal power supply. £48 from amazon.
It has eight 9v outputs which are supposedly isolated. I dont think they are earth loop isolated but more likely each output is its own step down from the 12v dc input and has beefy enough smoothing capacitors to make up for any stray signals in the earth. It says each output is 500ma but given the input is a 12v 2A i doubt it could supply all eight outputs at 500ma.

The important thing though is its quiet. I powered a tube screamer clone, dunlop wah, Hotone Verb, Boss delay, Boss compressor and Donner looper (not in that order) off it with no problems. So sweet.

Once its out of warranty im going to open it up to what the internal circuitry is like.

I want to buy one of these https://www.xtomp.com/xtomp/description

Figured I'd have one last try at learning.
I have a very low patience level for such things though so if I'm not banging out Kraftwerk tunes in a couple of days I'll probably give up

Bike insurance. I took having a gps tracker off and added commuting and moved from parking on my land to parking on the street and still it was only £2 more. So £102.88 fully comp. Sweet.

A ‘Michelin’ rechargeable tyre inflator from Halfords. It seems quite powerful and will fit easily under the seat with my puncture repair kit. Ticks the ‘gadget’ box, and while I’ve fixed a few punctures at the roadside over the years I never had enough CO2 cartridges to fully inflate the tyre.

Unlike my tyre pressure gauges and mains-powered inflator this one fits over the valve with a lever instead of screwing on, which might actually be better.

Bought myself a pair at Dubai Airport yesterday on the way home.

A late spring to early autumn walking jacket.
It's not so good for all day persistent rain but for a bit of rain on/off it's bob-on.

fjallraven skogso jacket (not the padded version).

This week has been ideal for testing.
It's a keeper.
Selling points are abrasion resistance, reparability and longevity.

I'm out most days and for most of the day... Been through a fair bit of outdoor gear over the decades and I'm getting good feelings about this jacket.

Can stash a paclite waterproof in the poachers pocket if need be...or wear the Atom LT underneath during winter.

Reckon I've found the correct range of kit for -10c to +30c rain, wind, sun and snow.

Back to saving up again as it was a big purchase. £200

£200 is naff all if it's good gear and will last you.

Picked up two sets of Scarpa boots for not far off that and am also suitably impressed ( hence the purchase of a second pair).
