A half-price copy of Assetto Corsa from Steam sale.

 

A retrospective all-access pass to a special VIP road area (i.e. a bus-lane ticket)

Thanks Mrs_Tad

Annoyingly it wasn't even to get somewhere quickly... quiet road on the photos. She pulled out onto the street and was in the bus lane for less than 100m, realised that it was earlier than she thought (08:45) and that the bus lane was active until 09:00, and moved straight out. Not soon enough it seems, the second photo was straddling lanes as she moved in to the other lane.

Tesa Tape 4289 19mm (66m of! Cheaper than a 9m roll of Stan's)

Now it's literally just brake rotors and little bits like cable outers, a bleed kit for the Reverb etc.

 

When I bought the bars for my GT I stupidly did not look at the weight. When they arrived I thought "JFC these are heavy!". I had bought a set of Snafu bars before and remembered they were incredibly light. So I did my research.. Vocal Neptune 1.2kg (I crap thee not) Snafu Illingworth 800 grams. So here is what I did.



Snafu Scotty Cranmer. Pretty much identical, 800 grams.

 

There is nothing better than a box set for a game you adore. There really isn't. I still have all of my Fallout stuff (enough to fill an entire cupboard) and wouldn't part with it for anything.

 

I bought the FO3 lunchbox long after the game launched, but before "Fallout mania". I got a PS4 one for £34. I took off the outer plastic thing, threw it away and put a PC version in at a later date. Good thing is my docu is BR not DVD. I have the FO3 Brotherhood Of Steel edition (with the statue of a guy in power armour) Fallout New Vegas (what can go wrong, right? apart from the NPC getting stuck 30 hours in and there being no fix lmfao) FO4 pip boy, a few bobbleheads (for pre ordering and other SEs) I have a Fallout 3 developer's Tshirt (The ones they wear in the docu, stupidly I wore it but I still have it) and then about five other special issue Tshirts, full guide to FO4, pip boy mask etc. My most prized possessions though (and rarest) are the beer mat set you got if you pre ordered from Target (USA, kinda like Walmart) and these were very short in numbers but my number one is a 5ft 3mm card POS (point of sale) display poster like thing for FONV. However, this was only issued to Game and again quite short in numbers. The date on it is wrong (well, it's correct but it's in US format). My mate sent me that for my Bday in a tube about 7" wide. It cost him a fortune.

One day when I am out of rented property I am deffo making a wall display. I have bottle openers, wallets etc. The only thing of importance I do not have is the FO3 pip boy edition. Mostly because Bethesda charged four hundred dollars for it so when it comes up it's like a grand or more. For a pip boy clock that is so poorly made most of them failed lmao.

 

I almost never buy a game over £20, and I even less frequently buy a collector's edition / etc.

But I loved FC3 and FC4, and I know I wanted the season pass for this one so thought I would. I got around £55 in Amazon vouchers for xmas/birthday so after that it's cost me around £20. It's available cheaper elsewhere but I don't have a honking pile of vouchers for anywhere other than Amazon. Can't wait!

Just bought a Dyson V8 Absolute in black and because I phoned up to moan about what the difference, which was not obvious, was between the 4 V8 models listed I got another 20 quid off, result.

 

They had my other half for that too. She'd pulled into the bus lane a couple of dozen yards too early - people do a lot worse around here - and they had her for it.

 

A long overdue update from the signature rig.

Bloody flight changes. Spent more on the change fees than the original return ticket, all because the bureaucracy can't make up its mind when they want me in place for a shoot...

 

*facepalm*. Oh well, at least there is literally nothing left to replace lol.

 

lol I did it ! I actually did it !! I made an order from the Nike website and didn't order any trainers *pats himself on the back* that's the first time I have managed that though I won't lie I did have a pair of Huarache Specials in my cart at the end



My how I have changed lmao.







The other day I ruined a hoodie (new) and bottoms (new) spilling EC6 all over them. I foolishly thought it would wash out like Mayhem's pastel but nuh uh. Even two treatments with vanish and they still look knackered.









And a new coat. Shouldn't need it much longer but then hey, £12 for a XXL Airwalk coat is not to be sniffed at so I got it for next winter.

 

More signed first/first books:

 

I normally like to get 2 years out of a phone, and this marks 16 months so probably a little premature... but apparently it's new phone time anyway, because... shiny - LG V30 64GB, Moroccan Blue to be specific.



I would have liked the 128GB model, but it's grey import only, and whilst that in itself wouldn't bother me toooooo much, given the early screen inconsistencies reported the option to pop down the road to swap it out with seems worth it. I already have a 128GB microSD in my current HTC 10 to swap anyway.

 

Pretty much the below, new gear knob and gaiter as mine are both very tatty



And a black grille, stock is silver, plus this looks much better

 

Welcome to the Ryzen club mate. I love mine. Goes like stink and gives the i7 crowd a run for its money.

Makerbot replicator clone and some PLA to go with it.
