Que??
Nice photo and washing line, but I do think the hyphen is redundant.
Gah, I almost forgot Serena Williams' birthday!

Quite right about the hyphen though.
Or setting up a village fete...

No idea what he's banging on about, but I would like to know if Auntie Flo is any better?
Is BND's llama coming to visit?
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
You could be right! I did see that too. There does seem to be support for both sides. My logic was that "T-" actually means "T minus" and therefore both should not be needed. Here is one link: https://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/content/...tellite-launch. E.G. "T-4 days".
On the washing line, I did wonder if flags instead of tea towels.

My guess is that the logic of using a hyphen is the same as when hyphenating T-shirt, but one is a noun, specifically for a shirt in the shape of a T whereas T minus makes more sense to leave the hyphen out as the T and the minus are two separate things.
Personally I'd leave it out... or put it in. I don't know anymore. Thread drift, isn't it wonderful?
I think the key thing is that we all understood what was being said. Surely thats the key part of a post.
Second point to raise is that Mr C is clearly a tease and attention craving member of the forum and has created this thread for us to talk about without giving a notion as to what is indeed T-Minus 4 days away.

One assumes something big is happening on Saturday.
Everton are playing, but I don't think it's that.
Come on guys, not too difficult to guess surely given Mr Cs previous activities - but I might be wrong and usually am.
I heard Eddie is releasing a chronograph Monster homage...
But ssshhh, it's a secret.
Could it be the anniversary of Francis Drake's circumnavigation of the world?
It'll be the anniversary of Concordes first non-stop Atlantic flight on the 26th (1973)
Abbey road was also released on a 26th of September (1969)

6th anniversary of the death of Baby Doc Duvalier?

67 years since the end of sugar rationing in the UK.
World contraception day.

Maybe the guys having a good drinking session on Saturday and is looking forward to it, or he might be spending the day counting his watches, who knows.
Clearly a new exciting watch is coming!
38th anniversary of the first television airing of Knight Rider. I know Matthew, I’m excited too.
It's my daughter's birthday.

Guys, he is just trying to bypass Eddie’s rules against WRUW posts:-)
On a serious note, whatever it is- all the best.

In the year 2525 I suppose we'll find out what it is about...
Zager and Evans - number one 1969
I’m going to be so disappointed if this is a countdown to a new sports Rolex when there is already a perfectly good thread running.

I've very much enjoyed watching the responses and speculation here. I think that a few of you rumbled that it was just a shameless fundraiser promotion and nothing to do with Francis Drake or the first televised US Presidential debate.
Happy birthday to the younger snowperson, and of course it would always be a pleasure for BND's llama to visit mine.
