Re: For the FTAO of Sim racing folk

I've only tried a VR headset once and it made me feel really sick pretty quickly. Whether that happens or not seems to be quite a personal thing. It was a while ago now, but I think it was because your eyes are telling you you're going to experience 'X' but your body isn't moving or weighting up acc...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

House. Then four more houses in the other primo spots around NZ. Maybe one in Japan.

Buy 911GT3 Touring. Proceed to spend the rest of my life doing roadies between all the places seeing cool shit.*

*May include coke and hookers.

Re: For the FAO of stereoists

Did you ship the speakers? Update on this is that as yet, none of it has left the UK, all still at mates house wrapped up ready to go. Longer story is it was supposed to be leaving via air freight using a friend's assistance but that's on hold temporarily. May end up needing to use different shippi...

Re: For the FAO of stereoists

Lots of great advice in this so far thank you. Unfortunately I can't give you any tech specs of any of it as it's either in the UK or may have possibly just left. So I guess I'll have to get it all here first and set it up and then go from there and maybe revisit advice here. I'm also not sure any o...

For the FAO of stereoists

I'm finally relenting and deciding to approach a decent stereo. This is partly driven by the fact my Dad left me a load of Denon separates and partly by the fact I just want to listen to music properly. Dad's Denon stuff on its way from the UK consists of a nice CD player, two identical amps and wha...

Re: Lego

I really do feel like either I've become a bigger sucker or they've absolutely zoned right in on the user demographics for niche interests and people who simply cannot resist a new Lego kit. I've bought more Lego in the last 12 months than probably most of the rest of my life combined, and they're a...

My Polaroid Camera set turned up today, complete with a freebie Chinese Year of the Dragon set.

Still can't find a Concorde fucking anywhere.

Re: 2023 review / 2024 plans

I've wanted to participate in this thread for like the last two maybe three years, but each time it's come around, frankly my own mental health hasn't been in a fit place to type something out without triggering the fuck out of myself. This year all I can muster is a big nope. Fuck 23, and may it ge...

Wrapping stuff I'm sending back to the UK via air freight. I've had it used a number of times and referred to as 'export wrap' and it's pretty good stuff. Tough to tear chunks out of and waterproof.

Industrial bubble wrap

Does anyone here have access to heavy duty bubble wrap?

I'm thinking stuff like this, or similar? Clicky
