Re: Post a picture from your latest ride

It is not Horseshoe, but it is in the same area - about 20 miles south. This one is the B4391 between the Tanat Valley and Bala. :thumbup: :thumbup: I imagine you've been over the Horseshoe pass too? I have a friend who lives near the south part of the pass, and I've seen all the bikes parked up ou...

Re: Would you buy a plug in electric car? - Take 2

PS> On point worth mentioning, that I picked up some time ago, for those that are strongly biased against EVs on a range anxiety basis; take a look at Nissan / Renault. They have EVs that are 100% electric for motive power i.e. battery with electric motor, BUT the battery is 100% charged by a petro...

Re: SIM only phone plans in UK?

I use Talkmobile. £5.99/month. 10gb data, unlimited minutes and texts. SIM only, using a handset I had on a previous contract. Free EU roaming (some Data limits, but more than I need on a daily basis). 30 day rolling contract. Uses the Vodafone network, so good coverage in Europe. Outside of EU, I u...

Nice one. What superb legibility for what I suspect is >95% of your needs.

Maybe time to add a new rule: “Exercise some commonsense!” :D

Full Circle

Back in 2005, I was pretty much a one-watch guy. This was my watch: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250202/2874e788dc6ed5b8bad78bdb0613eef6.jpg A Citizen Promaster 200m w/r, decent quality quartz, with legibility as a key strength. Since then, more than 100 watches have come and gone, but it seem...
