OK I'll admit to one, a trolley for my welder

Click image to enlarge


Not a major infringement of my bankers financial policy but I still got "why did you buy that", "I am getting tired of carrying my welder and gas bottle to work on the RR, so thought this would help to get the job done quicker"
It's not worked but I got away with it.

More worryingly is that I am watching this....

The plan is to also buy a garage from Machinemart to fix to it so she could park her MG undercover!
Good job I cant get that drunk to have to explain that.
Do I start watching that scissor lift as well?

However I am watching a Sheet Metal bender and a Shrinker Stretcher, both around the £100 mark. Can I get away with those? Hmmm maybe another whiskey Whistle

Sorry @Slow Progress, you have a £10 fine in your inbox…… Whistle

“Drunk Purchases” have to be exactly that, otherwise invalid. Evil or Very Mad Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

C’mon all, there is NOT ENOUGH ACTIVITY on this thread! What on earth is the matter with you all? Fear of SWIMBO finding out your little foibles? So come on, pour yourself a glass or three, and get shopping!

Currently, I’m looking at a £500 Nilfisk pressure washer, think I need another drink….. it would be so useful, surely she’ll see reason? Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter


I’ve got a Nilfisk PREMIUM 180 and it’s a nice bit of kit Thumbs Up

Having read the last few posts relating to the fear factor / influence / threats / punishment etc from forum members partners, I feel that I should declare that as I do not have a SIWMBO, or a current SWMBO being apprenticed for a possible full time role, there is no fear factor involved for me when internet shopping. Rolling with laughter

But as I regularly surf the web whilst consuming the odd libation or two,hastening to add that I include some tasty comestibles so that I do not look like a sad old git drinking alone Whistle The other fear is looking at the e-mail inbox wondering what the hell is going on, hence the latest incident involving the below -

A floor standing 12 tonne hydraulic press for £211.84, all the way from Deutschland no less. By god it's bleedin heavy Big Cry My excuse being that it was my birthday when purchased.




Next problem, is where the bloody hell I am going to put it Banging Head

This sort of thing never ends, as I was taking the photo, I remembered that the larger of the two wooden elephants in the background was purchased ashore somewhere in West Africa, whilst drinking in a seaman's mission bar, possibly in Takoradi if memory serves me right. Most of us bought one as a souvenir, THEN found out that the taxi service had stopped at midnight. We all had to carry the elephants back to the ship.......around 3 to 4 miles away whilst being completely spidered...... which goes to show, age has not made me any wiser Thud

@Rob99:

No harm done if you were sober…… -just don’t dare go back there tonight after a few…. Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Now THAT’s the way to move welding (or any other gear) around, I might even buy a horse as well Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

Nearly went for the Nilfisk 160, but now it has to be the 180,
-I’m not having someone with a bigger one than me! Laughing

SWIMBO has approved the Nilfisk purchase Shocked so now I don’t even have an excuse to indulge in a few glasses of Jam Shed of an evening Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

I made a case a barrister would have been proud of, explaining that we pay more than £800 a year to other people to wash cars Thumbs Up All very good unless I get put on driveway & patio detail Sad “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

@Merchy:

Nice one, I just love a bit of Meccano! Thumbs Up
Brilliant, not only do you have a useful new gadget, but you also have an hour of fun building it up! Very Happy

Once you have it assembled, have a good drink, and get on the above IWT website & buy a nice shiny new trailer to transport it up to Newcastle, and I’ll store it in my garage for you for free!

Gremlin ..... Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

As for a horse, we already have one !!!!...it never ends....luckily we are able to borrow a horse box when needed, for the daughter's eventing competitions, so I refuse to look at those when drinking...so far Whistle

@Merchy:

Ummm, sorry I posted that IWT link, it might be better for you to go teetotal from now on Whistle

Those IWT trailers are built like a proverbial BSH, lovely piece of kit, and in matching livery look so cool behind a FFRR……. Rolling with laughter

Remember, teetotal, -don’t risk it! Rolling with laughter “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

Do love this thread I started. So my latest one was this

I spent £2k on a bloody mountain bike!!!!!



Next item was this I purchased, think I can live with this for £140. Thought it would be useful for putting the range rover inside when the weather is grim and I need too do work on it.
