Pet Direct
Pet store
👍👍 Pet Direct has a nice range of pet products, good prices and fast postage. I found it extremely hard to find Whiskas cat biscuits during the pandemic, so I was pleased when I found them on the Pet Direct website. I also found the Royal Canin puppy milk powder was cheaper than any other online store....

Zero Latency Auckland
Amusement center
👍👍 Best virtual experience ever, though it was my first, I had no issues with. I can't wait to come for the next update. Though I do recommend the team install audio (acoustic) panels in the game area, so it helps with deafening the sound, so you don't overhear each other and purely rely on the headset...
