The silver thing on the top left of the first picture let's me play MP3's on my laptop using special time encoded vinyl on the decks, which means I can scratch and mix mp3's as if they were records, save's a huge amount of money.

and of course my lappytop that has my music on it to play through the hi fi

The Cooker

The Washer

The Central heating

Edit: Just noticed how I put "The" instead of "My" , that's what many years of wedlock does to you, you cannot imagine the grief you can get if you call the most simple of items "Mine" :(

My Talking Dalek....

If I get irritated with my son I point it at him and it shouts 'Exterminate' then I'm calm again :)

My Sony wireless headphones - I wander around without having to worry about pulling the cord, tripping over it or strangling myself with it. PC sound is routed through them so I can be downstairs and still hear if someone comes on MSN/Yahoo :)

Philistine! Actually it's not a real record, it's a digitally time encoded disc for playing MP3's from my HDD.

Well, here's my toy list:

My Computer (lovely Athlon 2GHz thing in a dark grey case with black keyboard and mouse and a black/silver LCD, no beige here)..
My (Work's actually) iBook. Like a PC laptop, only far sexier... (:erm: )
My iPod (need tunes man).
Mains electricity for the above (OK, so Electricity certainly isn't a toy, but I would need it).
My Dogs (one Westie, one Yorkie and both actually considered toy dogs by the Kennel club, as are all small dogs)
My Cat (certainly not a toy).

My Browning Auto 5 semi-automatic 12 gague shotgun. (Kept in the local police station during the day, by the way).

My Browning Hi-Power, 9x19mm para. (For personal protection).

Come Last quarter of the year I hope to have new toys including.........

Colt M-4 (not the carbine version).

Unknown sidearm, but prolly an M-9 Baretta.

Body Armour.

And most importantly................... Oakley Blades. The best shades in the world.

You consider firearms toys? Ever considered moving to Texas?

Not toys in the sense of the lego and actionmen I owned as a kid. But in a similar way to how a lot of people see their car/ puter/ decks. I suppose my long exposure to firearms, both as a child and an adult (.22 air-rifles and shotguns on the family farm, upto pistols and 155mm guns in the army). I just dont see a firearm as anything other than a (bloody dangerous) mechanical device.

As for me moving to Texas......................

There is a clocktower in Belfast (Albert Clock), and plenty of bookshops. ;) :jk:

Well, at the moment, leaving out necessities such as central heating and a car, let me think. Nothing really.
