Wow... I knew they talked funny over there across the pond... but didn't know that tires ("tyres") are made of barley.
Got a tip for us?

Nope. Windscreens are covered but not tyres. Excess is more than the tyre anyhow.

I can’t spell for toffees. Also we don’t talk funny. It’s you lot!Wow... I knew they talked funny over there across the pond... but didn't know that tires ("tyres") are made of barley.
I’ve heard a lot of bad things about the Smart Keyboard Folio, but I have to say I absolutely love it. With the exception of the keys being a bit more stiff than my iMac keyboard, it’s incredibly easy and comfortable to type on. I’m gonna love using this every day this fall when I start nursing school.

Ah, yes, lovely.....
Just over a decade ago, I was asked (at very short notice) to travel to Georgia (Caucasus Georgia) for over two years.
While there, some of my colleagues built collections of toy tanks and guns and other such macho delights.
Me, well, I kind of like civilian stuff, and the civilian world. Thus, I purchased several toy cars depicting models of vehicles from the old Soviet world: Zhigulis, Zaphorozhets, Ladas, Pobedas, Volgas, Chaikas....in local markets, usually in superb condition.
My colleagues reacted differently, depending on gender and geography.
Western European males wondered why I hadn't bought toy tanks and guns and similar stuff.
And then wondered why I had collected Eastern European - and Russian/Soviet - cars, rather than other, more, er, robust things (toy guns, and tanks).
Western European females mostly yawned.
But, but, but, mirabile dictu: My Eastern European colleagues - irrespective of gender ("My father had that car twenty/thirty years ago", and they started, stunned, when they spotted the cars, and would wander over to the shelf where I displayed them, where they would stand and stare at them, longingly, almost painfully, yet wistfully, wrapped in a gossamer thin bubble of agonised nostalgia) loved these cars.
They would come into my office, for a chat and a coffee, and proceed to stroll over to stand and stare, sometimes longingly, sometimes wistfully, but almost always happily, at these vehicles on my shelves.

The Miura is indeed one of THE cars, and I don’t say that easily about a non-British car.
Not my photo but just picked up the MSI GS65 Stealth 2019 last night. It's pretty badass
It's seems I can't ever 'just browse' when I go into the apple store 
Picked up the pride band and a gift for my mom as she's finally updating from her good ol' 6s. Excited for her lol

Upgraded my 43" Sony Bravia X800D to a new 65" X950G - Delivery in a couple of hours.
I had to buy a new stand as well. The old tv sat in a 20 year old cabinet meant for CRT tv's.
I spent way too much time researching and watching reviews. For my needs it's perfect.

Now with so called "Pro" features coming with iOS 13 (iPadOS) I bought a new 11-inch Tablet.
What’s your address? I’ll bring the pizza and beer. Or wine.
With pizza? Surly not.Scotch. @Mr Kram likes scotch.

I just picked one up and it's not even primarily going to be used for gaming. I bought it because it was the most comfortable keyboard I have ever typed on, period. I don't care for the gimmicky blinking lights (although they are cool) and I don't care about the little bullsh\*t OLED thing that's on there.
The build quality of the keyboard, the responsiveness and how amazing this keyboard is to type on just crushes anything Logitech and Microsoft has ever made. I'm replacing my 5 year Logitech K750 Solar as it was about time to retire that thing. I've been sending emails, typing up Word documents, and working on Excel spreadsheets all day and I am not getting as much fatigue on my hands and wrists as I did on my previous keyboard.
