Alright, I'll give it a go and try both out. I thought about removing the flow limiter as well, but I live in a higher-end apartment in my area and I'm not sure if they monitor that sort of thing. Regardless, I'll try it out to see.
How many units are in the building? In order for them to notice without an inspection of your apartment, you have to make the water bill jump significantly.

I believe there are about 24 units per building (3 stories, 8 per floor), and the apartment area contains I think 6 or 7 of these buildings. I've messed with it before and my water bill has never jumped past $35.
The only reason, imho, to ever get a wireless headset (or mouse, or keyboard) is if you wanna walk across the house with that stuff. The charge stations are always ginormous, the audio quality is lower at same price/the headset costs more, there's the case of potential extra delay, and how often do you really sit more than the 2 or 3 meters away from wherever you connected the headset to? I hate wireless shit that doesn't need to be wireless, it often gives a significantly worse user experience.
If you want a high pressure shower head, you can just buy a regular one and remove the flow limiter. It's a federal offense, but it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to get caught. Really only way to get caught is if there is some sort of home inspection or building code inspection that is very thorough. However, that shower head is reasonably price, and is about the same price as ones at the store, so no much harm in getting it.
Wireless headsets could be pretty nice, but I would worry about a delay in the audio.
I remember this being the premise of an episode of a sitcom. I want to say Seinfeld but I'm not sure they actually removed the flow limiter.
There was definitely a high pressure shower head episode of Seinfeld, but it was about buying different shower heads, not removing the flow limiter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shower_Head
You shouldn't remove the flow limiter unless your building actually has low pressure from the pipes.
Removing it in a normal building with modern plumbing is bad for basically everyone involved, wastes a ton of water and energy, empties the hot water supply in record time, and is a dickbag thing to do.
Get a normal shower head with the legal flow limiter in place. What you have now is likely an additionally-restricted head.
No. What happened in the cultural zeitgeist where The Millennials constantly think they're old? Why are you trying to declare yourself "too old" for anything even remotely risky or dynamic? Never before has there been a concept of a "quarter life crisis." Thompson was 34 when he wrote Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Barrett was 33 when he made The Wall. You're 22? That's the age Dylan was when he made Freewheelin'. You're still five years before Highway 61, and 9 years before Blood on the Tracks.
The problem is that where I live there are loads of Uni people who suddenly realize that they can totally skate, long board, bike what ever. Go out and buy one, then procede to do nothing with it. Also there is a certain stage where it just looks bad, some people can pull it off but its always awkward seeing that person that does not accept that they have aged.

But you haven't aged.
I should also add that I look far older than 22, closer to 25-28.
Once again, Ampersand, the number of lame excuses you have to avoid doing cool shit is frustrating me.
I would not say that they are lame but that is your opinion. I get what you mean and I am doing a poor job of conveying the other circumstances. That said I've not copped out of anything yet.

Did I stutter or something?

Now that my grant has come through I am making burrito with house mates next week, though they are hard core fajita people. As for the bike the problem is part being past the age and part worry over whether I still have the skills to do the sweet tricks. I need an 80's montage for this. There is also the worry that I shall brake something again, I have developed a bad track record over the last year of mundane stuff fucking me up badly.
Of course you don't have the skills to do sweet tricks. I don't pick up my guitar and play fuckin' pantera, either. But I'm getting there slowly. Gotta learn somehow, dude.
You've gotta treat this sorta stuff like sex. Sure, you have an end goal, but almost all of the point of doing it is enjoying the doing of it.
Anime has taught me that past 14 is too late to start learning a new skill, be it skateboarding, guitar, or giant robot piloting. If you haven't learned it as a teenager, there is no point in starting. Unless you've published, got a job or defeated the alien armada by then, you might as well just give up and be boring.
Buy a fucking bike. Ride it how you want. I bought my last BMX aged 22, and used didn't pull do any tricks at all. My twin brother stole it from me later, and due to him learning tricks on the BMX when younger, did all kinds of stupid shit on it.
22 isn't old. 22 isn't too old to do anything. Buy a bike, buy a surf board, buy a skate board. Do what you want with any of them. Or not. Just don't let age or the "posing" of other people get in your way of having a fun life.
Welp I sat down with my old man and talked about my whininess and all that spaff. First off sorry for being all faffy and a pain in the arse, Walker you were right I was looking for reasons not to and being a D-bag. For that I am sorry. Secondly a BMX is not for me, with deep thought I'm to tall and gangly and at the moment uni needs to come first. That and I would look ridiculous I'm like 6'2 and these things are tinny, I'd look like something from a Carry On film. Thirdly I do need to stop shit talking and do something productive with regards to my exercise, so I've now signed on to cycle the coast of Normandy with my dad and some of our friends in the summer. So, sorry for wasting all your time, and cheers for the kick up the arse.
Edit; also the only skill I mastered in my teenage years was how to hunt dragons that are native to Albion, so as to power the giant mecha that is my birth right but when the F is that ever going to come up. My older brother has totally got that one and won't bail at all...
