Only a fiver at Argos!

Postby pcwells » Dec 11th, '09, 14:32



I found something rather nice at Argos.

I've been doing a lot of banquetty type gigs recently - doing close-up work at tables during a meal and finishing off with a stand-up mindreading show.

My big ta-dah for my Christmas stand-up performance requires the use of a PK ring.

But my close-up work often makes use of magnetic doohickeys, which can't easily be easily stolen, palmed off or otherwise manipulated if you're wearing a big gnarly rare eath magnet on one of your digits.

And I didn't want to slip the ring on just before the stand-up thing and have someone notice that I'm wearing more jewellery than before.

I found the answer at Argos.

It's a stainless steel band, that doesn't attract a magnet, and looks pretty much identical to a PK ring. And it's only £4.99.

Looky here

It takes nothing to switch it out after the first part of the night, and nobody will notice that it isn't the same ring.

It's the simple things that make me a happy Pete. :)

I have girl fingers.

At our wedding when the best man was asked to place the grooms ring on the thingy (no bingo to see here), the woman said "That's the wrong ring, we need the grooms for this bit."

I had to point out that this little girly ring did in fact belong to my good self. :oops: :lol:

I have teeny fingers, I'm a G and getting rings to fit me is pretty much impossible, I usually have to get them altered.

My fingers are fairly normal but the knuckles are quite wide - a bit like the neck of an ostrich who's swallowed a football!

You lot are freaks of nature. I am a size P which is slightly girly for a bloke, I suppose, but still within the realms of normalcy. Unlike you freaks. Image

(They don't have that ring in my size, either. Bah!)

So when you walk into Argos you say, 'Can I have a P please Bob?'
