I wasnt saying your parents buy everything for you, I was saying its easier for you to afford all that stuff. You still live with your parents so im guessing you dont have to pay for rent, rates bills(Electricity, gas, water), telephone bills, groceries ect. I dont know if you have a car ot not but fuel cost alot too. That shit all piles up on you when you leave home.

Oh right.

Not got a car yet the main problem is insurance here. For just the first year as a driver your looking at around £1500-£2000.

Still not having to pay for a house or apt plus utilities food medical etc does make it easier.

Anyway I was only razzing ya Riku so not trying to bash you for having nice stuff.
When I lived at home I was also able to afford a lot more.
In any case awesome stuff and enjoy it while it lasts.
:P

What is up with your Nintendo game covers and that horrid green stripe or whatever?
I like the PS2 boxes you guys get and love the DC stuff packaging.


I agree on the fugly covers tho it's only the spine of the boxes. If I recall correctly the green triangle has something to do with supported languages in a certain game (was at least the case with GC games, I'm guessing same with Wii)

Anyway, got me a new toy to play around with:

It's a fisheye lens for my dslr. These things usually cost like 600€-700€. I got this new for 250€. only 'downside' is you have to control evenything manually.

I'm gonna use it primarily for filmmaking. Read and heard its a nice little camera for that. I need to research more on lenses. What kind of camera do you have?

fuck, thats some expenvie insurance, you guys must be pretty shit drivers over there. is it full comprehensive insurance? You could always just buy some bomb and get 3rd party insurance, Im not sure if the UK is the same, but after you turn 21 the premiums go down heaps. That much money shouldnt be spent on insurance, it should be spent on rims.

Insurance here sounds about the same as yours. It's expensive for teens because of the mod scene and reckless behavior.

In Spain you can pay easily 5000€ for an Alfa Romeo, Audi A3 or any new car with 150hp if you are less than 25.

Well... That's cheap. She pays even less than me with 25.

Here you can find curious things in insurance mafia :arrow: :lol:

For example, a girl have better prices, red cars have more expensive insurances, black cars have the same problems, white cars are the cheapers.

And more things I don't remember now lol.
