A camera?
Edit: not my turn, and doesn't match the clue I've just seen, either.

You guys must know something about Daniel that I clearly don't. A firearm? That sounds a bit random.

Derek guessed a telescope. The thing I'm buying would be a good thing to have if you were staying up stargazing.
Derek also guessed a wine fridge. A wine fridge would be a good thing to have if you had one of the things that I'm buying.

Owen came and went quicker than a middle-order batsman. I suspect Mrs Trotter (don't know the real name) has curtailed his involvement in manly pursuits and has confined him to the shed.

I think he sneaks into the bathroom with his laptop because it's a place where he can get online undetected. Once the door's closed the loo is the only place to sit. He doesn't actually use it. But he does flush. In case anyone's listening.
