Re: Happy birthday Martin!
Nothing special planned, we are going out for lunch tomorrow with the whole family.
I have visited the cellar to pick out a couple of quite special beers for later though

Re: Happy birthday Martin!
Thank you.
I thought that after sixteen years I should post a photo of the watch I bought back in 2008. Alongside is my current watch. One of them cost £157!

Re: A question for the retirees
Sounds perfect, Downer. Your point 1 reminded me that the first thing I did was book a holiday to Cuba.

Re: A question for the retirees
I retired from teaching in 2015. Some people seem to want detailed plans for day 1 onwards: that is not (was not) me. It took eighteen months to get the teaching mindset removed. Thinking about school, the curriculum, the kids - the whole thing. I nwould pass on one piece of advice: don't rush into ...

Re: Twelve years on - what’s changed?
@Martin For all the convenience, I still dislike buying things online. I like to go to a bricks and mortar establishment, be served by a flesh and blood human and, for less expensive things, pay with folding and jingly stuff! :D The irony being you are a moderator on an online forum of a watch comp...

Re: Twelve years on - what’s changed?
Thinking back to 2008 when I joined, one factor so far not mentioned is the tools available to someone searching for a new watch. In my youth, one went to town and visited a jeweller. In 2008 I wanted something a bit different, something a bit more special. By then, we had the internet and google wa...

Re: What are you drinking right now....?
¡Cerveza española! After a day of dinning their lingo into recalcitrant youth, along with associated admin, I deserve a bottle of their finest. Lovely beer, Dibley Co-op has been selling it for a while. IMG_0694.jpeg Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately it is as Spanish as I am. A triumph of very cle...

Re: Digging the escape tunnel
It strikes me you have already answered your own question. Keep the IWC and El Primero. Sell the rest.

Re: Pet Pronunciation Hat
Which one?
The third man.
The first sound in the first two words are different.
Just for clarification.(!)
