I should add martial arts instructors to my impressive list.

If Raffe does join the vGTG I'd love to spectate. Could even make it a Vs with £5 entry pay per view going to the fundraiser

Sadly I don’t think this will happen, I think everyone has seen my very public meltdown and mistake now, I’m not really interested in another bust up over it! Life is too short

If that happens count me out. I enjoy the vGTGs as they are a lot of fun. I’m not going on a vGTG to watch two grown men bicker all evening. If I want that I’ll go to my local beer garden.

Raffe has joined us a few times. And he has always been a Gentleman. Macca has also joined us a few times, and has also been a Gentleman.

I’m sure we’ll have no issues when both Gentlemen join us at a vGTG.

As an aside, a few of the forum’s more ‘interesting’ characters have attended the McrGTGs and they are brilliant in real life, and everyone always gets on.

It’s a really enjoyable call! Bring your favourite drink, favourite watches and enjoy the banter ... and casual nudity from Alec

Is it really a swear word?! I just googled and seems to be no clear answer. David Cameron used it on air in an BBC radio interview...

**unclealec** · 25th April 2021, 13:41

^^^Wrong answer.

I'm not convinced. I've just asked my brother and sister in law as they're two of the smartest people I know (vet and a teacher at a private school) neither think it's a swearword. Both admit it's not compliment but not a swearword either.

In the collins (online) dictionary it has two meanings - one is considered offensive the other very offensive -> here I guess if it depends if offensive = swearing.

£5 cost to the fund for an argument btw!

Yes if you’re going to insist I go on pay per view for the fundraiser Wiley then it’s a fine for the rude word!

What has smart got to do with it? Plus confused by the use of your qualifier that being a teacher at a private school somehow implies that they are smarter than a state school teacher! In fact, they can even be less qualified due to the less stringent employment criteria!

Anyway that’s by the by and T*** is most definitely a swear word and a Northern relation to the C***word.

Call someone that on a night out in Wigan and see what happens!

Unless you meant to type Twit, of course!

Inventing Kevlar, solving international military conflicts, diplomatic service; we could do with some softeners, maybe a bouncy castle operator or a clown. Get the general level of importance down nearer to my level.

Who here invented Kevlar then? Sounds unlikely TBH, was invented by DuPont in the 1960s.

As for t**t, think the relatively innocuous meaning is far more common in the South.

**unclealec** · 25th April 2021, 23:00

There may have been some slight exaggeration going on......and anyway, it was Graphite.

Unclealec invented carbon, back in the day.

Graphite occurs naturally, so no-one invented it...

That might be a good challenge - first to have a slow worm on a vGTG. Or an MX5. Or a suitably-adorned letter box. Display the forum spirit.

I was thinking if you want a broad category... favourite thing that’s not a watch you’ve bought from SC over the years would be a good show and tell

Another vGTG tonight Gents?

United are playing tonight so I’ll probably start you all, watch the first half, then return when you’re all a bit more ‘tired’.

Q of the week: “Favourite thing that’s not a watch you’ve bought from SC over the years?”

Dress code: one for Martyn or Alec!

**unclealec** · 6th May 2021, 08:31

OK with me; not bothered about a dress code, let's just enjoy the experience.

**Macca** · 6th May 2021, 08:41

I’ll be able to join about 9pm I think, have plenty of unusual SC items to go at too

**Wimm** · 6th May 2021, 13:35

Sadly I won't be able to join you all tonight.

Not sure I'll have much to contribute to tonight's topic, I've only ever bought a watch from SC. An abuse of the facility I know but I have enough crap of my own without adding to it.

Enjoy your evening.

**Kirk280** · 7th May 2021, 08:49

Another fun vGTG. No new faces this week (unless I missed someone whilst I was watching the football!) but good to see the return of some stalwarts.

As an aside, we need to think of a suitable venue for an in-person Manchester GTG. It has to be secure, with real ale. Advice via PM welcome! Sometime in July might be best.

**Berty234** · 7th May 2021, 08:51

Apologies for missing this one.

July is turning out to be a busy month for me. We already have two short breaks booked and my 60th is also that month.

**Macca** · 7th May 2021, 21:56

Another great GTG chaps I fear if the theme next week is things we cannot be bothered to fix that Martyn and his boiler will take center stage again
