Dos_Box Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 My Collegues have got me a £70 Amazon voucher as a leaving present. The thing is I'm having great difficulty finding what to spend it on. Any suggestions?

john Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 I have a chair lined up What about iPod earhones? Not in-ear BTW! Sony always used to have some nice ones that clipped over the ear rather than the old style headband ones these had plastic things that went over your ear bit like glasses do but more hugging of the ear.

ahuxham Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 A decent book. The new live your life with 100 things book sounds interesting. Or "Lovely Bones" Alice Sebold, good book.
john Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Well if Ric's taking that stance: [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Domestic-Walking-Frame-Wheels-Zimmer/dp/B000OGSKVQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=kitchen&qid=1248941700&sr=8-2]Domestic Walking Frame With Wheels / Zimmer Frame with Wheels - handgrip height 31-34": Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home[/ame] [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Switch-Sticks-Luxury-Walking/dp/B001EMY20M/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=drugstore&qid=1248941751&sr=8-12]Black Switch Sticks Luxury Walking stick - folding and adjustable: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty[/ame] [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tena-Discreet-Control-Incontinence-Medium/dp/B000UNRN02/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=drugstore&qid=1248941781&sr=1-1]Tena Discreet Odour Control Incontinence Pants Medium - 12 Pairs: Amazon.co.uk: Health & Beauty[/ame] hehe

elloyd69 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Get a binary clock...............they are amazing!! Got one for the head of IT as a birthday present and have even foxed the PAT guys with it this week!! "What does this device do??"................most frequently heard comment about it.........followed by an explanation of how it works to just about every member of staff!! Great fun
Dos_Box Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 Binary clock, what a good idea. Mind you, I's just spend all day looking at the flashing lights. It's like when you open a switch cabinet and just have to spend a few seconds staring at all of the flashing lights 1

LeMarchand Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mortal-Engines-Quartet/dp/140711137X/]Mortal Engines Quartet[/ame] Absolutely brilliant series of books that are far too good for the older children that they are purportedly aimed at. Set in a steampunk world where tracked cities chase and devour each other, the books follow Tom and Hester through various adventures up to a stunning climax. Why a merely "OK" writer like JK Rowling is huge while Reeve isn't is one of the mysteries of life. His Larklight series and the prequel to "Engines", along with his revisionist take on Arthurian legend are also well worth seeking out.

Ric_ Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 Since when did Preston Docks turn into the wilderness of Africa? Chris wouldn't know whether or not the view did look like that since the office has no window.
Dos_Box Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 I have an interview with them lined up to 'discuss' this little matter next week. When you get shown an office with a window, sign all the documentation for it and then suddenly get plonked into an oversized broom cupboard they wonder why one of my forst tasks is to seek a new office. Apparently they are not to happy about this and i may get moved (hopefully), if not there are plenty more out there.

Go get them and unleash the power of the Edu-God on them as that is appalling!! The view you described to me sounded a nice view when we spoke a bit since about it but a broom cupboard is not good if you signed for a window. Then again I cannot complain as I have 3 windows (all side by side) in my office where as my tech used to live in a windowless office that wasn't very nice.
featured_spectre Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 My office window is about 7ft from the floor, so if i wanted to look out, I would have to climb my desk. lol
