Now if you can find me a 52cm, that would be great.

Just bought a Gabba on Wiggle with an extra £10 off courtesy of the "saver10" code (thanks @gillies !). Forgot to do it through the affiliate retailers thread though, which was a complete fail on my part.

sorry that was in reply to an ancient comment on page 131 @Lukas

You must be the only one! I'm a big fan. It's nice not to have to cart stuff around on my back and my bread no longer has bottle shapes stamped into it. Oh and I'm still faster than @Daniel_T

Hahah great read, and very interesting about the house sitting gigs in NZ.
I can relate to a lot of the above. When I was younger I would obsess about tech that I wanted (e.g. the Creative Zen, the matching speaker system...) until I saved up to buy a PSP, bought one, and realised that I had made a huge mistake. This happened at quite a young age and I think it saved me from wasting a lot of money as I grew up. Since then being a student and not really having much disposable cash, and then graduating and not really having much disposable cash, has kinda trapped me in a frugal lifestyle. I say trapped, but I don't mind it at all. When I look at other people's spending habits and lifestyles I don't envy them at all. For example, I got a very cheap but pretty much mint condition iPhone 5 from my ex-boss because his kid wanted the new one, and then a few months later he offered me the iPhone 6 because a newer phone was coming out that his kid wanted. The same guy was also moaning about how he had spent thousands of pounds on an all inclusive holiday half way across the world, when he could have probably had a very similar experience somewhere in Europe for a fraction of the price. Even closer to home I see members of my family waste so much money buying stuff that they don't need- gadgets, clothes, etc. When it gets to this point in the year and everyone is stressing about money I can't help but think that if they had said no to a cheeky Nandos here or there, or not bought that 10th pair of trainers, they would probably be a lot happier as a result. Maybe I am a bit of a MTfL, but I think it's a good thing to practice in moderation. I don't scrimp on the important things (bikes, beer/alcohol, family/friends, experiences, bin bags) and it's nice knowing that I can buy my family presents this year without getting into debt. I am working on becoming less tight though. You can end up worrying too much about spending money even when you have it, which isn't a good thing. Also there's no point saving for a rainy day if it comes and you decide that you'll make do with a bin bag instead of that wavey Northface GoreTex jacket.

Dolan have really dropped a bollock with the Omnium thing. It's a great crank and can be had relatively cheap when compared to others (e.g. sugino 75s and the DD version too), even more so if you manage to get them second hand. Combined with Omniums, Pre Cursas make a decent track bike for actually riding the track or for just riding around the street and the new colour looks nice so it is a shame. Someone on the WNR rides one of the new Pre Cursas with Omniums. I think that it's one of the larger frame sizes but am not sure if that makes too much of a difference.

Timesplitters- absolutely superb.
Completed MGS Ground Zeroes, didn't really like it and am now wondering how much I will enjoy Phantom Pain when I get round to buying it.
I have also just completed GTA Episodes from Liberty City and really enjoyed both games, TBOGT in particular. It's good that they let you replay the missions once you finish the game, and I wish that they'd done that for TLATD as well.

I tried to do this but they all had security wires through them in Evans. Oh well, £90 pounds that they won't be getting just yet. Also, why does the price of Gabbas keep fluctuating at the moment? Seem to be £140 one week, then £90 the next, and then back up to £140 the week after! Currently £91 quid for the SS version on Wiggle...must resist.
