In my suburb, that gets you one of the best houses....with air/con.
But then; I'm not into postcode suburbs.
Strangest "doodads" story you have heared
- Thread starter MsAli
- Start date

But you posted a picture of your TV on the commute time thread, china.
You haven't been telling porkies, have you?
I think owning one at all is pointless.
I hope the dance was worth it!
I dropped my patek from a height, cracked the sapphire crystal, and had to send it to geneva for service. 14 week lead time and 1,800 euros. Good one.
Yup! Same! Nice ducted air-con. Warm in winter, cool in summer.
No traffic congestion. Lots of open space. Plenty of sporting activities.
I'm reading this on the IPad while working out on my treadmill. NBest Doodads ever!
Agreed! I love my iPad. It goes everywhere with me.
The elderly folk seem to get by just fine and dandy with none of this electronic HS.
I visited my great aunt the other day, and she has one of those old Bakerlite phones with the dial around circular number thingy on the seat and table little set in the hallway.
We were chatting in the kitchen and the phone rang. Instead of ignoring me and instantly rushing to answer it, she said "they'll call back if it's important, now what were you saying dear ?"
Love it.

LOL! I've never used angry birds. What the heck is that?
I use mine just like a netbook when out. I can use the internet, but I also keep all kinds of skating information. I can download all the rule books, add photo's, update spreadsheets etc. I find it very useful.
It also comes in handy for reading the forum when waiting somewhere, or on a train, etc. Places you just wouldn't bother getting your laptop out for.
Press the button and it's instant access too. No waiting for it to load up like a laptop.
Now I don't even believe you have an iPad.
Haha! I'm guessing Angry Birds is one of those innane time-wasting games that éveryone seems to play. I don't have any games on either my Ipad or my phone.
My best mate who lives in Brisbane has an old phone. Not as old as your aunts - probably a 70s phone.
His street got hit by the floods last year and all the houses lost power.
His phone was the only one in the street that still worked because it doesn't need power - just a phone line.
Wow, some good stuff there.
nah.. the Diesel Powered Mech warrior is much better.. http://www.thisiswhyimbroke.com/diesel-powered-mechwarrior
And itś only $1,350,000!

My strangest purchase was a 1967 Ericofon rotary dial phone. I have it hooked up o VoIP and use it lots!
Edit: It cost me $175 fully refurbished. But they go for up to $350 in antique stores so hey!
Other than that there's my ipad, iPhone 5 and mac. They're my doodads. One of the stupidest things I did was got emotional about apple, bought some shares, watched them appreciate, bought more, watched them tank, sold them all out of fear (thinking they weren't at a trough yet), then watched them bounce back the day later +40. NOT happy.. So I'm down about $2500. This was all this year and the wounds are still raw, but really I don't care. I made a silly mistake (one of many with shares) and moving on.
I don't think I'll ever trade shares again tho. They're just not for me.
