  2. Red Wine
  3. Toilet Paper

As income increases expenditure often increases exponentially. I try to live within my budget and even save a bit.

Having said that, I'm prepared to pay a couple of bucks extra for Australian fruit and vegetables, for the quality and to support the local producers. I also always try and get the best quality petrol I can. Hum I think I'm at five things now.

people seem to be worrying about my petrol. I choose a brand name servo and petrol without ethanol with a octane rating on 98 Ron. We have a choice of 92, 95 and 98 rated petrol.

I need the power. :) I'll gladly pay a couple of buck per tank extra for that.

Petrol company advertisements abusing people's misunderstandings of octane and petrol in general is what bothers me.....which usually means juicing people for more money through thier misconceptions....:angry:

Not quite what I had in mind.

Spyboy pants (or "mission pants") are typically black 100% lycra pants, usually from the Spyder downhill line. Not crotchless, and no hidden camera. Lightweight but good for all types of weather.

As in 'On A Mission'?

Gotta be crotchless then mate. Either that or steel re-inforced crotch, depending how lucky you feel... :wink:

Now that I know what they are, I may have a pair of those or similar but they are khaki and called trekking pants.

They don't look all that sexy to me. Prolly the wrong colour for that.

That reminds me, I need for find all the bits for my fav cargo pants.

Gold plugs? OFC cable at £5+/m?

:lol:

Mate, the "improvement" you get from that barely registers on the most expensive test kit.

I never seen a gold plated terminal or terminator of any kind in the BBC, and they kind of invented high quality audio. Of course maybe the brass ones were really tarnished gold....oh yeah...:lol:. Now, SOLID gold plugs, and gold CABLE with gold SOLDER, and we're talking. Remember your signal path is only as good as the shitest link.

Of course if you mean "don't buy moulded plugs and use bell wire to bi-wire your £1000 B+W speakers", then sorry, that's fair play.
