It's a bit left of field, but the show "Grand Designs" is awesome. Some of the houses in that show are unreal. I just wish I had the coin to lay down to build something similar.

+ 1!
I love that show, although they have the occasional monstrosity of design.

PINT of Stella. mate!
Many, many Scotches
My Kindle.
It's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Or possibly beer.
I can't get over just how ace this little gizmo is. I was a little bit uncertain about them at first for a few reasons, namely: Cant read it in the bath, eyestrain from staring at a screen, not being able to read it at work/on choppers due to electrical device rules and the fact that it's well, a bit shit-looking.
Now though having bought one and used it for the past month I can't get enough of it. The nifty waterproof 'case' (it's more of a bag) I've got is an obvious help - I've got no worries about getting it wet when reading in the bath or by the pool - shit, I can read IN the pool if I want! It's also handy for tying onto the bars of the exercise bike in the gym out here and having something to read whilst cranking out an hour in the saddle.
I've got a UK amazon account so I can get books for about a 10th of the price that bastard rip-off aussie booksellers charge and if I ever feel that even that's a bit expensive I've got a 1Gb folder full of books (that's about 500 novels) given to me by a mate that should keep me going for years!
The screen isn't like an Ipad's so there's no backlight, no glare and a single battery charge can last up to a month! It weighs bugger all and thanks to the good folks at Gelaskins it now looks awesome with it's new hot-chick artwork.
Definitely the biggest lifestyle-changing gadget I've found since the iPod.

The Chief Engineer i work with apparently has wrapped his in glad wrap so he can read it in the bath without worrying about splashing water on it.
Budget, but should provide some kind of protection. I'm sure he engineered how he wrapped it, and its IP code as well....

to add, the power to change music to control your mood. just finidhed work, blazin on, good ole bob
Along those lines, getting into work really early, pulling a Red Bull out of the fridge and cranking the tunes. Quite fun and you get so much done, then chill for the rest of the day.

Agreed. But they are an absolute prick to cut up. I always and up a crying mess each time I try.
