That's my Name on the Card that is.

Not my card, never had or seen the watch, seldom go in Ernest Jones.

Not adding much to the thread but kinda have to comment....

What a beautiful turn of phrase from Errol Flyn

"....inability, not disinclination"

I have bought quite a bit from Yobokies. (seikoboy backwards)

All jolly good.

Yes, the higher the number the more aggressive the shave. That is to say the gap between the leading edge of the shaver head and the blade is largest at 6 and smallest at 1.

You set the razor...

I did the same as you a couple of months ago. Was using plastic (high quality) disposables in the shower and just carelessly scraping away. Decided to go back to the old school way and reduce my...

Close but no cigar for me. Fluted bezel and fidddly twidly bracelet no attractive.

I've seen worse....

It is a tough one. And you have your work cut out. 'Fancy' watches are not easy to justify without calling in emotion and ego etc.

The Rolex has more Cachet but that is a great deal of money for...

One of the Ten Commandments of Backgammon is 'Thou shalt have no other games before me'

I suspect Go maybe a notch above it intellectually and is certainly more esoteric here in the UK.

We have...

Arrrgh. Bezel pip alignment on the luverly 1665!
Can somebody please turn it to Twelve? I can't settle now.

Wow. A study in unimaginative and cheap looking watch design.

Looks like H Samuel and Pandora got together over a quick brunch at Greggs and knocked out some 'new' designs

Excellent and succinct review of 5 watches in one well crafted post.

This thread is one of the best I have read for ages.

Quality comments : )

Great response - Made me grin : )

Is the stem broken or did it come out in one piece? I have had plenty come out in one piece on me (heavy handed? - probably) with no permanent damage. They are designed to come out anyway (but...

And they would have been quite right to do so.

I just loved the real emotional response in the moment rather than some corporate standard apology (which can end up being more insulting, to the...

My god! they don't make railroad men like your grandfather any more , well, not in the UK anyway.

That reminds me actually. When returning from a wedding reception one night (not my wedding) we...

A female engineer I know solved the problem of people (men) 'borrowing' her calculator by buying a pink one. None of the men on site would even touch it let alone knick it. I think they must have...

Pete, this has really caught my interest. Never heard of it but I am all over amazon looking for said books now. Paired down computer programming (lean and efficient) is elegant stuff.

Ay...

Need one, definitely not,
want one, probably not.

I am a practising Structural Eng and have been happily using Scientific Casios, Texas Instruments and the like all my career. They can be had...

Ditto, it may be me not paying attention but I haven't seen you (Bob) on here for quite a while.

One more to add to the RPN Cognosenti At this rate it might just catch on : )

An excellent point. Freeing up the mind from number crunching is a good thing particularly if you are trying to solve problems and be creative. The regrettable aspect of labour saving devices,...

Ooooh....Nice!
PM me if you are wanting to sell/trade that to someone who will cherish it

You would not be impressed by the fact that I also have and regularly use slide rules then? : O

The advantage of using older tech is that it forces you to be engaged and know what you are doing...

No front brake and a massive back brake. Certainly sets its stall out for speed with a dash of drifting : O Or is that big back disk required to keep putting the front wheel back on the ground...

This is a common vibe I am getting. Not many use it (but enough to justify HP still making them, clearly) but once introduced, most seem to use nothing else and many, like me, get a little...
