I never really left, but I was gutted I missed the Olympics thread. I'm off to the Paras on Friday, whee!

So it seems that most of my credit card points are expiring at the end of this month and I am gutted 
. I was under the impression they would be lasting me quite a while.
I save/use a lot of points to get free travel and accommodation and these were suppose to pay for a big trip. Looks like I wont be able to take it though. Now I have to use it on electronics or goodies.
Still going to try and take a mini vacation with it, but I only have 5 days left for holiday and I need some for when I got back home to NY.
So I guess what do I buy...
Was thinking an ipod nano, gopro 2 and a macbook air. Then I could sell my iMac and ipod touch to get some extra cash.
That or I could get a really really nice Camera, but I'm never the picture person on holidays. I would use the gopro 2 for diving/hiking but its to costly to do that with an DSLR.
Any other goodies/electronics out that I don't know about?
First world problems...I know....

How much do you have to spend?
Sounds like you have a fair bit... maybe a nice new gaming PC?

New headphones, perhaps?
Just finished dismantling the old bee. Awaiting delivery of new one tomorrow. It's a low-set, so perfect for stuff.
Either you've been mugged or you find it cumbersome.
I like to "Fit in" as best as possible when i'm off UK soil.
Walking around with a camera dangling from my firm Scottish neck is just not for me. (I do partake in photographic images.. just when there's no one around of course.)
Soooo tight and tense. Sig won.

The bug's bitten hard. Added one of these to the stable last night:
Suspect the rear shock on mine needs a service but aside from that it's in stunning condition. Yum.
Nice. So how many do you have at the mo?
Shame you live so far away, the bloke's best mate manages a cycle surgery store. Free servicing, discounted parts.
Where do you normally go riding? You got any good centres by you?

Are the bikes really different enough to warrant more than one? How much are you using these things?
I'm beginning to see how you quit smoking so easily - you've probably not got enough time for a fucking cigarette!
This one's number 3. I have the P1, a GT hardtail* and now this bad boy.
In a former life I was a cycle mechanic but discounted parts are something I could totally get behind
Only kidding if you're reading this babe!
I live near a country park which is where most riding will be done. The P1 is used for work and quick jots to the shops.
*I'm breaking the GT for parts as it's dripping in M739 XT, Syncros and Kore. Will be bunging the bits on eBay.
Wildly different! My P1 is just a big BMX whereas the new toy is an all-round trail tool. My GT hardtail is for throwing at walls and giggling as it bounces off.
You're not wrong. 2 weeks in and I couldn't give a shit if I never see a cig again!
Yeah, worked great last time!
Send the London rioters from last year over. Should be a giggle.
Some men just want to watch the world implode.

I like the bookArc thing. Thanks for that!
Have a TV/Monitor already so would just need that.
I've been telling a colleague to wait for September... and I'm waiting for a refresh myself. Will be my first Mac!
Well they don't know if they want a MacBook or a iMac so there may or may not be a refresh for them.
Just told them to visit an Apple Store to have a hands on look at them.

Yeah, they're still around. Still have one at home actually that we fire up every once in a while.

Always keep an eye on The Macrumours Buyer's Guide if you're considering splurging. The retina 13" MBP is imminent as is an iMac refresh.
You can still get lava lamps at all good 90's bedroom stores.
Thanks. Gutted I just had to buy an iPod Touch, but it's not really ideal to ask your 7 year old daughter to wait a couple of weeks for her birthday present. >_<
Ducks don't need money.
you need guild wars or WoW gold?

RIP NHS
And Laws is back? Didn't he admit to full-on expenses fraud not too long ago? How nice he only had to sit in the naughty corner for a couple years...
Also, don't buy a Macbook. 13 inchers with retina screens are around the corner. Might replace my 11" 2011 MBA so long as they're not too expensive and have decent battery life. Gonna be weird going from 11 -> 13 though, you forgot just how light and portable it is after a couple months.

Jeremy Hunt, ladies and gentlemen! The people's choice!
I still think Apple are missing a trick with an entry level macbook. Used to be about £699 for the 13" non-pro Aluminium, now the cheapest is the 11" Air at £800+ and that comes with a laughably small 64GB SSD.
I do get the Air being so light / small but some people just want a decent 13" Apple laptop with a normal HD for less than a grand...
