A Playseat Challenge gaming chair for the wheel and pedal set that arrived today.

First time I've tried gaming with a wheel - what a difference.


Do you feel its tilts you too far back? Looking to get one to free some desk space up!

I find it pretty comfortable on the whole.
My neck can feel a bit achey after a while but I've not done any adjustments on the seat yet so I'm probably a little too upright if anything.

It's quite rigid while playing - as solid as you'll get without paying for a fixed rig.

The foldability works really well.
Takes less than a minute to fold it up and you don't need to remove the wheel or pedals.

I bought one wiper blade for my winter commuter car. Yes, I'm that frugal. The passenger side wiper blade still works perfectly, for some reason. Thinking

I've just come across the Mova Globes and they could be my next money sink (other than the house and car of course).

They're very neat technology. Solar powered with a very low powered motor inside generating torque against the Earth's magnetic field.

Christmas underpants. Only cheap (3 for a fiver) and nasty ones from the pound shop, but seasonally colourful : 2 in green and 1 in red. I'm sure someone will get to see them, just not sure who at this juncture. Thinking

And some, erm, make-up that was sooooo shinyshiny that I could not resist it AT ALL. Couldn't make my mind up so I had to buy SIX colours of eyeshadow.

Plus there was a buy 2, get the third free type of arrangement on the red lipsticks I bought so I had to get ANOTHER one of those.

And, oh yeah. Some grey cushions, one with silver fringe, and one fluffy. And some assorted sized picture frames, black, gold, silver.

And a t-shirt.

So that was nice.

NB, said t-shirt has a motorbike* on it, so am claiming relevance.
Thanking you!

Now TV stick to save my PS4 being on unnecessarily. I've found I watch Now TV stuff way more than Netflix or
Amazon Prime stuff and my PS4 is making odd noises when it's on for extended periods.

I think it needs a dismantle and clean... May have to book it in for service.

Might have to nab one, does it have gear shift mounts?

Doesn't come with one but they'll sell you one (an expensive metal plate) or there are plenty of youtube vids on how to easily fit one.

I use the paddle shift but might fit a gearstick mount as a joystick platform

On topic.

I just bought a fancy Goldtop leather jacket. It's bloody marvelous.

Nice thick leather but very soft and supple. Well made and looks the nuts, in a brown hipstery kinda way haha.

Got a voucher as well so blagged free gloves from them annaw.

Replacement brake cartridge holders for my commuting bicycle; all the crud has rusted the already soft-as-cheese retaining screws to a rusty flaky mess. Ironically with pads they’re almost the same price as the pads themselves (albeit due to a discount but still).
