The easiest way to make your old car run better, is to check the prices of a new car.

How true.

or as my bank manager once said to me....

"Mr. C I've asked you in to remind you of our relationship in an effort to persuade you to return to the original plan, where you bank with us and not the other way about."

T'is done.

.......now that's what grabs peoples attention.........double posts!

JTB

Its not like anyone got hurt or killed.

More by luck than design I venture to suggest. Protest in this form is in my opinion.

I have no time for people who resort to these callous and inhuman methods.

JTB

sorry all you conspiracy theorists....nothing exciting, just a sever move.

It's back....as slow as ever.

Jeez.......I hope it didn't hurt?..............your severe move!

A very valuable post Rob. As someone who is working at the coalface in terms of doing repairs or modifications on reps over the past years you will have a fairly good handle on what the evolution of reps is.

I have a feeling this will be a very popular thread.

Okay guys…….I locked myself in a dark room for 2 days with nothing but the CD, a hi-fi and a couple of bottles of Guinness (well a few).

So here it is:

Overall I would say that the CD is more of a mix of Townshend solo material and Who stuff rather than a ball-bustin Who album, which we have been used to in the past.

A heavy feature of his writing on this is Townshend’s response to his recent brush with law. There are a two tracks where he doesn’t miss the boat, shall we say.

Aside from these, one of my favourite tracks is the poignant ‘Black Widow's Eyes’ – a reference to the Beslan massacre.

Also included on the CD is the much lauded mini-opera ‘Wire & Glass’ which has it’s roots in Townshend’s ‘The Boy Who Heard Music’ novella and blog. It’s excellent and is another illustration of Townshend’s master of storytelling in words and music, if you didn’t know that already from ‘Tommy’ and ‘Quadrophenia’.

Overall it is a very good album. So far, not a match for the great Who albums of the past, but I think it will grow on me more. I’d give it 7 out of 10.

Recommended and with 19 tracks also excellent value.

I'm watching this thread closely.

I'm worried for ya!

Source of bag unknown, but there were newspaper articles in Italy at the time claiming OE factories were running night-time shifts and the extra inventory was leaving out the back door.

Ah the great 2001 handbag heist..........they wanted to make a movie out of it called 'The Italian Bag Job' but thankfully 20th Century Fox Fur didn't fancy it.

He obviously has the hangover from hell as I haven't seen him on this thread yet, so I'll just whisper this

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUGS!

JTB

err.. No, I didn't enjoy that. Why on earth would I want a Scottish team to lose to anyone overseas?

I think you have been amongst the reprobates in "the jungle" too long, and enjoy that sort of schadenfreude.

I want all Scottish teams to win in Europe (Yes, even Hearts!), and failing that, the English teams to win in Europe. The fact is that Celtic got hammered, just as they themselves hammered Benfica a few weeks ago.

I appreciate you are annoyed, but it's quite childish to revert to slagging-off my team, just because you lost.

It also looks particularly gloomy for Celtic tonight with United putting on a poor show in Denmark. I still have my fingers crossed that Celtic will scrape though in 2nd place,

I hope they do!

Can you say that?.. Were you cheering Rangers on when we needed a draw at Ibrox against Inter Milan last season to go though... I hope you were, but I doubt it. You probably donned a Nerazzurri shirt.

I haven't seen that much backtracking since that wee numbskull gascoigne pulled his flute playing stunt in an Old Firm game and then said he didn't know what it meant.

"Celtic got hammered" served no other purpose than to irritate me and possibly one or two others.

Oh and by the way did you join the RWG Champions League Pool? Did you put your hand in your pocket and help RWG at the same time? Do you have a vested interest in this thread?

Nah........didn't think so!

Celtic got beat......that's more important.

JTB

Glad Fødselsdag Admin

JTB

Celtic got hammered!

You enjoyed that didn't you? I can tell - my observational skills are nearly as good as yours.

Fact is we gifted them their first two goals and then we were chasing the game. Anyways it makes it 3-3.

I was also sorry to here that a lot of people on the Glasgow underground failed to get home to Govan tonight...................DUE TO A POINTS FAILURE AT IBROX!

JTB

PS @ jtb... You would not beleive the " call to arms" thats going on down here for the Test series.

Most tests sold out, a huge marketing campaign to have everyone in green and gold... supporters clubs...I've never seen anything like the hype being generated. I seriously hope that it doesn't start a Pom bashing cult ( either verbal or physical) ( We do have some other race related probs going on here at the moment) and I wonder if some of our "youth" may not realise that Pom is a word of endearment.

Well its beyond my control... Watch this space.

Offshore

And I thought PoM was an RWG term only!

Seriously though - they must be taking this revenge thing quite seriously!

I wish I could be confident but with the injury list that the Poms have.........I can't.

Not sure Flinty has the tactical nuance of Vaughny, and, he may not even be fit enough anyway!

JTB

Nothing from tonight's games would please me more JTB, 'cept perhaps a 89th minute Danish strike to put the Scum in their place but unfortunately both cannot come to pass, hmmm which do I want more

(sorry mate )

Yes we do rely on Fergies Fannies to do sumfin tonight and much as it will break your heart doc - I think they will! Not so confident about our lot tonight especially with JVOH, Gravesen and Wilson out.

JTB

I envy you - Bali (minus bombs) is a dream place.

The sounds of Rogers and Hammerstein are now swimming about my head.

Best wishes on the forthcoming move.

JTB

We could go through tonight.

I have a mansion, forget the price.

Ain't never been there they tell me it's nice.

Life's been good to me so far.

My Masarati does one-eighty-five.

I lock the doors in case I'm attacked.

I make hit records, my fans they can't wait.

They write me letters, tell me I'm great.

So I got me an office, gold records on the wall.

JTB

Amazing insight into the world of a true watch wizard. Many thanks for sharing this with us Rob.

JTB

I'll second that! You know those little email message saying you have a reply to a topic you're watching? While I cannot vouch for every Admin/Mod here, I know my inbox counter is spinning like a roulette wheel with all the Admin messages posted by Ken.

*ding* Topic Subscription Reply Notification ( Replica Watch Group ) from Kenberg

and so it goes. The man is a MACHINE!

But congrats as well to The Pugmeister!

I choked on my digestive biscuit when I read this!

Nice one Bob!

JTB

Try palpatine, repaustria and finepics.

JTB

Yes, I officially have no life! I've overtaken Kenberg as the most prolific poster on this forum!

Ah yes maybes puggie... but if we were to factor in his Admin posts (which don't count) you'd be waaaaaaaaaaay behind.

JTB

Ah yes Mike...............saved from the "Bin" that one.

JTB

Me too

yeah...............right!!!

Tight cuffed shirt today so I excavated the Movado from the bottom of one of my boxes. It's slim and a fairly small face and doesn't catch on the cuff of my shirt.
