    Bugger All, will however be buying a new water pump for the Beemer as it decided to take a crap on Black Friday leaving me stranded just outside Ross-on-Wye, two hours from home.

    My wallet is gonna hurt if the warranty doesn't cover this.

    The Missus bought me a Logitech G900 wireless gaming mouse from Amazon for £80 today, for my Christmas present. The side buttons on my trusty old MX1100R aren't really useful for gaming. Furthermore the 750 GB SSD I bought on Black Friday turned up today.

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2016?

    I bought absolutely nothing (apart from a tank of diesel), preferring to regard this "Black Friday" as yet another piece of US-inspired nonsense. Just don't get me started on televised political debates...

    Like any true Brit I'm waiting for the traditional New Year's sales instead.

    Career status: still enjoying my new career in DevOps, but it's keeping me busy...

    The Moose tried to buy something during Black Friday but apparently couldn't get its antlers around this thing called the "internet" or didn't realise that Amazon would not accept the finest pond weed for payment.

    Re: QOTW: What did you buy on Black Friday 2016?

    I actually ended up buying a bluetooth audio receiver; not because it was on a black friday deal in particular, but because other people discussing black friday reminded me that I wanted to get one!

    I'm not into that scene myself, but I gather you need bit coins and the dark web for transactions of weed. And only if you consume onions from Mam Tor. Something like that.

    Moose wear pond weed around their antlers and it is an indication of Moose status.

    1920x1080 at 27", yuck. That would be a downgrade in screen res for me anyway as I currently have 1920x1200. Was hoping for a decent 2560x1440 144hz G-sync screen. One can dream I suppose.

    Logitech Z906 speakers for £150. Not a bad deal. Not amazing compared to my separates though
