The official "Look what I gots!" purchases thread

phlegms

Have done similar threads on various other boards so I thought, why not start one here for the fine folks of C+H to peruse. The premise is fairly simple, post a picture (whether a stock-photo or one you have taken yourself) showing a purchase you have recently made. And then BAM. Get your discussion on.

I'll get the ball rolling cos I'm awesome.

Bought an Acer Aspire One d250 netbook the other day for taking notes in lectures and essay writing in the library.



And just a few minutes ago I bought Mass Effect 2 for the PC cos' I'm a filthy nerd.

It's the only thing I've bought lately:(

On Saturday, (thanks to adverts.ie):





Only really read the intro to the First one so far, second one I don't know if I'll ever use that much, but sure I was getting the other two anyway so I might as well get this one two since it was going cheap.

The ending to the sequel is a bit disappointing to be honest.

Turns out it was z^3 + xy^2

With how this thread is going so far, we could just put a big /nerd at the end of it. :P I haven't bought anything big, sure it's just after Christmas! I bought a pair of GAA shorts recently. Best. Buy. Ever.

That's a pretty cool laptop though. I kinda wish I'g goten a smaller one (mines a 15 inch screen). It's a bit of a hassle to carry around with me.

Thats why I got it to be honest. I have a 15-incher at home but whipping that yoke out in lectures intimidates people. This ones only 10 inches and weighs just over 1kg so it fits everywhere way better. It only cost 200 quid as well which is super-reasonable.

200 is pretty good value. Then again I haven't really been looking since September so I've no idea of prices.

This is the site I bought it off. I have used them before when I was building my desktop pc and they are really great. Reasonable prices on everything, cheap and speedy shipping. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

How big a purchase are we talking here? If it's anything of value what so ever then...



But if it's something actually valuable, then this beautiful little clock radio/speaker system for my iPhone.

Value doesn't matter, although you do get extra points for innuendos

Piste

Got this for my puppy-to-be!

This rule seems to be common to all threads in which you frequently post.

I'm speechless.
Luckily I can still type so I'm able to overcome my newfound disability to tell you how awesome it is.

I prefer really having to work for it.

This thread has far too much nerdiness, so I'mma help Piste pretty it up a bit...


This, because it was too little and cute to leave it behind.


This, only in navy.


This, only in purple.

To counter SarcasticFairy's girly niceness, I went out and purchased some explosions and boobs:

I bought that ages ago but never got around to reading it. I've a huge backlog of books I need to plough through. Looks really interesting though.
My wallet got stolen a couple of weeks ago and I haven't got my replacement bank card yet so I've nothing of worth to post here yet.

Is that dress from A-wear? I saw it a little while ago, I wanted to get it but I had no money It's very pretty though

Piste

It is very pretty, I tried it on and it looked horrible on me though I'd say it'd suit SarcasticFairy though.

SarcasticFairy

They're all from a|wear! The last one was on sale, but they didn't have much in the way of sizes left (ie, you can be a 6, or a 16... very little in between...) and they had no grey... but it was something like €15 so \o/

If it was up to me KW I'd be sipping my wine with some Classic Rich Teas but alas, Centra chose not to stock up on them.

On boards mobile, to view pictures you have to download the image meaning i now have pictures of digestives, boobs, an explosion, starbucks, and ipod dock, numerous book covers and 3 dresses in my pictures folder on my phone. Oh and also any pictures which have been posted in the know your ______ any time since friday and one of rick astley from yah thread. I hope no one looks at my phone ever again, they could be hard to explain and because my phone is retarded, it arranges them alphabetically onto my 4gig memory card with the 1000 or so other pictures so deleting them would take too long.

TWO dresses and a SKIRT. :P

Why don't you just wait 'til you're on a computer to look at threads involving pictures? (Or delete them as you go... ie, look at them and then delete immediately...!)
