    Yeah, we aren't really patriotic like that either (except on July 1st and at hockey games), and actually don't like overt displays of it usually, which is probably where the dislike comes from from other Canadians. You'll rarely see a flag anywhere other than on public buildings, and never in front of a private residence like you'll see in the States. As for muggings, I've never really seen it as a problem. If you do get mugged, you probably weren't taking proper safety measures to begin with, plus you'll probably look like a tourist anyway with your huge backpack, camera, and hiking boots :p

    Do want:

    Sadly however I would not be able to fit it in front of my computer screens since my desk is only 56cm away from my bed. I guess If I were to figure out a way to get my wiring set up so I can pick up a monitor and move it to the bedside table that might work? Or a VR headset, that would also work, but at a cost that I can't justify. I could use my desk vice and get a Vesa mount to clamp the monitor to the edge of the desk xD

    Can also be used as a deckchair with laptop stand if required :p

    EDIT:
    Ok, turns out you can get monitor arms for £20 off ebay, so that could work...

    I just have a double moniter set up and a racing seat and a CSL elite, kinda like this (not mine)

    I do hope to get a full out set up with the button box, but I have already spent a lot on my wheel..

    My setup is not *that* bad (not great either), mostly on account of the wheel and pedals, the chair is trash for racing, however doesn't move and doesn't give me back ache like previous office chairs have. The pedals also slide a little which sucks, could probably wedge something behind them though.
    I do like how there is no wobble in the wheel at all cause the desk is rock solid, as in runs the width of the room and is glued to walls on 3 sides with draws and a leg underneath it levels of solid.

    The issue being that the wheel sits too close to me and a little too high up.

    woo, got my little 2kw a/c unit re-connected, lets see if it can cool down a big house :p fan is on max, the poor compressor I can hear is at max speed (its an inverter, so technically goes to 2.6kw) the indoor unit has its fan on full blast and it is getting frosty, the outlet temp is bloody cold and I have a fan pointing out of the room, stepping out of the room is still a difference but when you feel the fan blowing it is freezing, absolutely wonderful. Bloody good Daikin that :p (its a Daikin Siesta)

    They look and taste quite a lot like Aldi's Pringles knock off brand stackers. I do prefer their knock off spicy Doritos though.

    As long as they aren't baked ill believe it.

    Have had those walkers baked crisps a couple of times, like eating cardboard they are.

    well damn! just noticed that you cant add any youtube annotations anymore, its so sad, they were like the post-edit, the helping, "TURN DOWN SOUND NOW" and "Volume Alert" and the other information ones, also you cant really edit anymore now that you are on mobile, just a shame that the annotations are gone
