Pugwash

... especially when an out-of-the-jiffy Modern MBW is the same as the ultimates, tw-best or perfects that everyone has a version of. I bet the MBW dealers get annoyed by people wanting to buy modern Subs as they expect so much more than they get.

I agree ... as long as I don't have to do it

As I have 4 watches out in the ether (one return from a dealer, one from The Zigmeister and two new ones) and it was a Sub day and Seiko day, it'll be a 196 day today.

If I were you, I'd take your own advice. Nothing drags a thread further off-topic than telling people to get back on topic to cover your [censored]-up. This is why, apart from rolling my eyes at you, I'm posting my last-5, just to actions-speak-louder-than-words the topic back to shape. Sporty: Rolex Black Sub (or LV) Classy: Panerai 111 or 183 Chrono: IWC GST Chrono or MoonWatch Dress: IWC FA Jones, IWC Portuguese Chrono or Breguet 5907 Fun: Moonwatch, GMT-Master or Cra-a-a-azy Hours

That's me, too.

This started before he started winning, to be fair.

Button! ... I'll get my coat.

All this info is contained in the knowledge base ...

Carefully. My Seiko SKX031 does this too. You get used to advancing past and applying back pressure.

I see Schumi as the Microsoft of racing. Sure he got to the top, but he didn't do it in a very nice way, and he was proven to be a cheat, like MS. If you want to reward those who win at any cost, then feel free. I'll be over here complaining about sportsmanship. They have a term for it here in France: "Fair Play" Sure, it's in English, as they're still trying to get to grips with the concept.

Not where I'm from: I'm from the country cheated upon by both Maradonna and Schumacher. Neither would be welcome in my house.

Like Jamie Whitham always said in SBK, about his mate Carl Fogarty, even if you have the best bike around, you still have to ride it. He may have been quoting Barry Sheene. Or, Jeremy Burgess, Rossi's crew chief (and formerly Mick Doohan's) has the 80/20 theory where it's 80% rider, 20% bike. In cars it's 80% the car, 20% the driver. You can see Rossi's talent by comparing him to Colin Edwards. Edwards is no slouch, being a World Superbike champion and Suzuka 8-hour winner (With Rossi on a shared Honda) and when he's fast, Assen or Seca, he's up there, but the rest of the year, his talent isn't enough to let him keep up with Rossi. Now, F1 comes down to pit changes and team orders. There's no actual action on track any more. So, to precis, I find it very difficult to find a car-racing sport that interests me these days. I hate "who has the best car" sports. Maybe A1GP should be the one.

Not me, though. I can function in the outside world, a little. ps. Never been a fan of the moniker WIS as a compliment as it's exceedingly double-edged.

If Schumacher were as great as he thinks he is, he could win in any other half-decent car. Valentino Rossi did it when Honda wouldn't pick up his pay cheque when they assumed he'd only win on the Honda: He jumped over to the vastly inferiour Yamaha and won the MotoGP world championship on it. Twice. Schumacher is, unfortunately, a cheat and a cad. I for one will not miss him.

Oh,. I forgot: The PAW is in the post on its way to Scotland.

For the roman numerals?

Do you have the matching Ducati?

Cleaned up: The font is not recognised on What The Font.

You can get a decent dark blue or navy one.

Because it's a prop. The guns aren't real, either.

If I were you, I'd mail them. I just got a mail telling me that mine is going out today/tomorrow. I'll probably not get it before next weekend.

Eddie's how-to is most excellent, but the Knowledge Base is an unsung hero.
