Pugwash

http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/ My kind of music and lots of it.

It exists and you're supposed to know about it.

This poor memorial keeps getting re-purposed. As it is at the entry to the tunnels where Diana Spencer was killed, it became the one spot where people placed their flowers for her. http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/08/31/europe/flame.php Here's our PAW at the site:

In Paris, I drank 1664 (or Seize, as it's known) but Guinness is one of my all-time favourites. You're quite right, it's amazing in Dublin, but it doesn't travel too well. Room temperature is a little too warm, but yes, English ale should be served between 13 and 20 degrees C (something like 70degF?) as the flavours are good enough not to need masking by dropping the temperature. The prevalence of so-called Ice Beers recently is done to allow beer makers to make crappier beer as the closer to zero degrees centigrade a drink reaches, the less it can be tasted. If you want to try a test, get a coke and a seven-up and drop either to 1-3 degrees C (35 degrees farenheit) and try to tell them apart in a blind test. Damn, you're making me want a hand-pulled pint of Yorkshire bitter now.

Ireland is even greener still. It's the rain.

Damn. Just ... damn.

When you leave the US, you're supposed to fill in a form with your watch's serial number on it so you don't get charged tax upon returning. If you don't do this, you'd better hope they think it's a rep or else you're getting humped on the tax. ps. I too recommend River's travel cases.

Great stuff, but it looks ... normal. I suspect my tourist photos of the US would look exciting to a European and plain and normal to an American. ps. Great photos, it looks like you had an excellent time. Culture shock upon returning home can be a bitca though.

It's Tuesday now. Seeing as I was reading Casino Royale in the bath this morning, I decided the PO would be appropriate.

I am not, unlike yourself and TWP, involved in the medical profession, so I can say that. It's maybe unfair and simplistic, but it happens. If you've seen the stress this put TWP through, you'd possibly be as annoyed. Anyway, I've said my piece and I'll drop it as this is supposed to be a celebration for TWP.

It's what screen grabs are invented for. See the "Print Screen" button?

As soon as you get pictures, I can do a visual review for you. I hope yours are better than the ones in that bloomberg (any relation?) article.

Today, Rocky III. Tomorrow, Rocky IV. I await the humour.

Trust me. It'd be hard.

I was watching Rocky II (watching all of them before I see the latest) and I noticed Rocky and Adrian getting watches. He got the Gold GMT on Pres, she got the lady's Bling DJ and they bought the Day-Date for her brother Paulie: Oh, but Rocky did mention he can't tell the time so well, but it didn't stop him wearing it a few times. He probably wouldn't even notice the weight of an all-gold watch.

I didn't want to say anything while you were going through it, but now I can. Both Autism and Dyslexia are being over-diagnosed by lazy child doctors. What's worse, a lot of people are hiding behind ADD and Dyslexia (and to some degree Autism/Aspergers) as a way of having an excuse instead of dealing with the problem, like "I can't spell cos I am dyslexic" - no, you can't spell because you're lazy. Here's a test: can you text someone on a mobile? Then you're not dyslexic. I have a friend whose son has just been potentially diagnosed as being Autistic and I'm just waiting for the doctors to say that they got it wrong, as has happened in every case I know personally. Autism is like Schizophrenia in that respect. It's a catch-al they lump you in with until they work out you've just got a zinc deficiency or something. I'm angry at your doctors. Rant off. TWP, I'm really pleased your son will be able to live as normal a life as his dad.

Just a warning. It's nothing like the iPhone inside. Note the speaker and mic grilles on the outside and the five-button pad. The iPhone has no visible grilles and just one button. It's a look-alike from a distance, but like a faux-chrono Daytona, as soon as you look at it with a trained eye, it's a fake. I hope the ones you get, Ken, are a lot closer than these. An iPhone isn't an iPhone without multi-touch, Safari, WiFi, Google Maps, AVC/MP4 playback, iPod sync, email and random-access voicemail.

That's because I was right and you were wrong, of course. See? Big spoon.

Shipping fees should be clearly stated in the auction. If they're not, you shouldn't bid. A lot of eBayers will post lower prices and higher shipping just to get round eBay fees.

... because he misread her taste.

Well, as I was visiting the in-laws today, my father in law said "Oh, what is it today? Ooh, it's the nice Breitling ..." So, while some friends and family don't get it, others do.

If you're seriously after a Ferrari, you're not the kind to risk performance through DIY services. Try picking up a sports bike if you're after cheap performance, but even then my Ducati liked new rear tyres every 500-1500 miles (yes, they were a little bit soft ...) and 6000 mile engine strip-downs.

This is why I like being neither a dealer nor a moderator. I can use my big wooden troll spoon to stir with wild abandon.

I really think dark brown gives it a timeless look.
