righto, my mother is ashamed of being the age that she is, and each year when they receive the winter fuel allowance payment thingy she splits it between me and my brother. that, along with a bit of money i've made selling some clothes i no longer fit into (they're too big- good thing) means i have about £250 available to spend on myself, but i'm struggling to decide what to get.

what would you buy for yourself right now (either bike-related or not) if you had £250 lying around?

That's a couple of grams of coke and a hooker. And possibly a kebab on the way home. Sorted!

I Ipod touch,
Just got my daughter one for Xmas ,and had a quick play around with it.
Fantastic bit of kit,much more that a MP3 player.
Stuck some apps on it ,been playing a "Paper toss" game on it for the last 30mins,very simple but strangely addictive.

I'd help pay an older person on a small income's fuel bill this winter.

That's what Ian MacKaye would do.
