Christmas shopping

I'd ask for The Wire Bluray boxset. However I've noticed you like gadgets and humour so this site might be of interest for a browse:

www.firebox.com

Obviously the GOT Iron Throne and the Delorean are a bit out of the budget but there's cheaper stuff like the Blade Runner tumbler, Bluetooth padlock and all sorts of other weird bits and bobs.

Magical stuff:

I saw them - 'manties' indeed! Not that I've tried such undergarments, but from afar I couldn't think of many things more uncomfortable - maybe thongs or whatever.

I did see these:

But they's for womens, plus I haven't got the arse for them.

Not Suitable for Vegetarians

Yeah, I saw that - and the #AprilFools5 - I'm wondering if they're real.

That one isn't real. If you click on more info it says so. I think the lack of 'add to basket' gives it away but that's the first time I've seen an April fool item.

There's a portable vibrator for £79 that 'slips comfortably into any undergarment' and is controlled by your smartphone. Apparently it 'looks a bit like that rocking phallus of Clockwork Orange'.That one is real.

(For some reason I can never paste into Flaming Bails with a link when using a phone. Drives me mad).

RD would have loved this.

I think the idea is that the girl wears it and their boyfriend controls it on their smartphone from wherever they are in the world. Otherwise you may as well get a manual one unless you want stealthy thrills at work.

Danny - M-Y pants. Get your face printed on pant crotch - give to everyone.

Any vibrating socks?

That's what I suspected, but I'm sure I saw a couple of #AprilFools5's in the Top 50. Bloody irresponsible of them, if you ask me.

Yeah let downs. But I solved your pants problem above.

Maybe they do one every year then just leave it. I've been looking at the site for at least 4-5 years.

Looks to me like they'll be the bollock smashers I've been trying to avoid. It'll take something special to drag me away from Old Rusty and the piss bleach 5.

Pete? That you?

Understood like 65% of that.

Oh - thought you had seen some other post I wrote. Can't even remember where it was to quote it > short term memory > too many drugs. Just saying that I usually get boxers, they're usually bollock smashers, so I usually revert to the older, piss bleached pairs, my favourite pair being Old Rusty

I never forget a reference to bollock smashers.

Whilst we're on that subject - I'm up to 9. Have a concept for #10. One of the ones I've done is a humdinger for Xmas eve - took me 3.5 hours. Living the dream.

Keep on keeping on. Like that Curtis Mayfield song. Superfly.

Don't be showing me up by throwing in too many humdingers, though. The theme of this year's calendar is "adequacy".

Don't worry, I've phoned in about 5 of them so far and it's getting more and more tenuous. Gotta have a Xmas eve bonanza man - it's as big a tradition as getting pissed at 7am on Xmas day.

Lolageddon. Danny you surely don't still piss your pants? I imagine you're going to plead 'asleep, comatose' but I'm not having it at your age.

Agreed on the airy boxers being the best. I think that David Beckham ad marked the advent of the 'bollock smashers'. What's the official name for them? I want to say hipsters for some reason?

Dello while you're here, help me with these things that make me want to jihad the forum everytime I visit.

a) why can't i paste anything into the message writing box on an iPhone.
b) how do I display pictures - either taken on my phone or from Google image.

Walk me through it like a simpleton. Me being the simpleton.

a) I dunno. Ask someone with an iPhone.

b) Upload pictures on a free image hosting site (imgur for an example), copy the url, paste it between img tags:

Code:

for example [img]http://i59.servimg.com/u/f59/11/45/22/13/banner10.png[/img]

Same dealeo for google images, only you don't have to go to the trouble of hosting the image - just paste the url between the tags.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to live forum life without paste. I thought maybe you'd have an answer. You've let me down.

Is there not an easier way than uploading it? Yeah iPhones are sh*t in many ways but I'm used to screenshot pasting pics now. Who cba to upload stuff.

Like I said, ask someone with an iPhone. I'm sure there's probably fairly straightforward ways to do most stuff - people don't seem to find it too much of a challenge to post their shitty pictures and videos all over the internet. But I wouldn't know as people talking about mobile phone stuff sounds like this to me: uoeargi eroigojnego eigh wrogj woih ofk ibhb aekb koj baoij e eioje b swamp.

Proud non driver, proud non mobiler but I own a MacBook and a forum. Half-arsed luddite.

I'm proud of nothing.

But I take my shame like a man.

Not according to page 1 of the 'What Car do you drive' thread, by acclaimed author Lara Lara Laughs.

I'd paste a link but NO-ONE IS ABLE TO HELP ME WITH THAT.

I can't help you with the photos.

apologies
