  1. I was in France in 2001. The French were stunned, horrified and upset, like the Brits.
  2. So, rather than considering the responses of those who disagreed as valid points that deserved investigating, you seethed for a week and laid into us? I'm happy to debate this, but it's very difficult when the reactions from the other side are so clouded by emotion that people keep claiming to walk away in disgust only to come back so they can walk away in disgust again. There are those amongst us that consider you're over-reacting. Your reaction to this is to get annoyed. Try to actually read what we're saying instead of clouding it with the red mist. Rather than explaining that you're outraged (we get it, we really do), how about discussing why you're outraged?
  3. Nice over-reaction. My implication was that he was scamming you, but you ran to the radical view instead. You prejudiced my post, how's that for freedom. However, I'll admit I hadn't considered Nanuq's point.
  4. Very tempting ...
  5. Like these? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton_hotel_bombing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9_February_19...th_Quay_bombing We've had terrorist attacks on our soil before, which is why we don't have quite as much shock and awe over Sept. 11th as you do. We get that it's a big deal to you. ps. Don't for one second assume that because we disagree with your reaction to this that we in any way don't care.
  6. If I could find one where the bezel hadn't fallen off, I'd consider it.
  7. France != French Media. Sheesh, I thought we'd got past that one, or would you like me to go through Fox News' dirge and blame the whole of the US for it? This obviously bothers you much more than the actual story merits. I'd sit down with a decent drink, a nice cigar and give it some thought. Why do you care that much about something this petty?
  8. Well, it's been over a year since I wrote this and I never did come out with part four. Do you need any more tips, people? Or will this, coupled with Jiro's photoshop guides and my Picasa guide, be enough? Should there be a part four, and if so, what should be in it?
  9. Just because someone has more watches on their site than someone else, it doesn't mean they're worse than others. The most important thing, and I know practically everyone disagrees with me because they're misquoting an old saying, is to first choose your watch.
  10. Have you considered the GST?
  11. I can't believe I've not commented on this yet. This one will be in the IWC guide when my Aquatimer arrives.
  12. Like I said, we've been promised that one for 2008, not this year.
  13. Intriguing. You should get a replacement if it was indeed advertised as waterproof.
  14. Eh? 11th September was a day the US, a friend and ally to most countries represented here, got hurt, and bad. No-one disputes this. You can't strawman all posts that disagree with you as "Oh, you're heartless therefore your opinions don't matter." So, one news channel showed news you didn't like and did it on a day that represents something different to you. What's the big deal? Sure, France 3 is probably not the US's best friend, but come on, they're not supporting your enemies or killing your people. Get some perspective on this. You need to try to see it from someone else's point of view. Someone that didn't see the rubble and smoke. Someone to whom this whole thing meant a lot less because they present the news every day and see this sort of thing the world over day in, day out. Working in the news will desensitise you to six year-old disasters. Sure, it was probably a faux pas showing the program that day, but it's not that big a deal.
  15. Mine is an 89.
  16. He does Mario as well.
  17. If I were you, I'd find someone looking for an ETA 2846 in a straight trade. If I were in your neighbourhood, I'd do the swap for free.
  18. Surely that's the crime right there. What country lets their wounded veterans require handouts?
  19. Hopefully, the Aquatimer Chrono.
  20. Rent? In the era of BitTorrent? I either pirate or buy, mate. No renting here.
  21. If someone wants to so a proper survey, I'm happy to PM my serial, but I think posting them here defeats the purpose of having different numbers.
  22. Noob of the Month award The first winner of our new, hopefully monthly, award will be announced below. We felt that every so often, some new members to RWG show promise and that this kind of thing needs rewarding. We hope to pluck a newcomer from obscurity every month and give them a 6-month VIP membership provided by the forum's gracious Admin. This month, a new member has posted not one but two excellent Photoshop articles and left an indelible mark on this community. It is with great pleasure we award Jiro with the first ever Noob of the Month. Congratulations, Jiro. Thanks, By-Tor and Pugwash, Noob of the Month Committee
  23. Lack of pictures makes this list rather annoying.
