There's a reason for this. They have to deal with customs for you.

Let's wait and see what Sql_pl says.

State Tax. You're moving money out of state and local gubmints don't like that.

It's good Photoshop, and watches on girls is always a good subject.

Nice try.

Not if you make your living out of watch straps ... It's too much for me, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see one on someone.

But ... but ... you're insane!

If I could afford it, I would use MonkeyBonkers, apart from the fact that it takes 2-5 days to transfer cash in, meaning I'd miss the Monday deadline.

As if.

The stitching isn't the best I've seen, but it's not as bad as the photos make out.

In Europe, the hands-down winner is MonkeyBonkers. Free transfers direct from your bank (2-5 days), 2.5% on your credit card (instant), 0,50€ on cheques (10 days). Transactions are cheap, too.

C0C|<!!!

How often can a watch strap provide you with so many double-entendre opportunities? As often as you order a Cockstrap from Birdman.

Sure, I get it, but this watch just isn't for me. Isn't it a good thing that there's no uniform taste?

Today, being Saturday, I'm wearing a GMT on my c***. Yes, that's right, I've got the so-called Hen Straps in, which as we all know really should be called Chicken, but that sounds weird. Seeing as it's a manly watch, it's a manly chicken, and for me, that means c***. No, not rooster; c***. So, I put my cockstrap on, and headed out into the world. Want to see pictures of my c***? Here you go! Tastes like Chicken.

The schedule will show 10 'slots'. Schedule was the wrong word. *Pugwash stands by his answer. * Red? Huh? / me now does weird things?

For those who didn't figure it out, this is a 'replica' pic. I 'modded' it. This is the original:

in Knockout, you lose half the field every round. Seeing as he talked of pairings and byes, he's talking knockout.

Assuming standard knockout. In the first round, if you have 775 players, you would be giving 249 players a bye in the first round, not one. This gives you a total of ten rounds. However, if you're playing Swiss-pairings with a final top-8 knockout, you'd give one player a bye and still play 10 rounds, three of which will be seeded knockout, giving a much fairer qualification system. I'd go to 8 rounds of Swiss though, with a cut at 6 rounds, possibly playing the last two rounds and the knockout on day two. The only problem is that if blue/white lock decks are in fashion, you're going to have to be very strict on the time-limit and you'd need one head-judge and something daft like a minimum of 12 floor judges, not assuming breaks. I'd be happy with one level three as head judge, 8 level twos and 16 level one judges and apprentices. Oh, hang on, you said table tennis? Sorry, I thought you said Magic: The Gathering.

Ok, because someone found it amusing, here's my real Friday watch. Today, I'm going Astronaut.

Honor/Honour Color/Colour Center/Centre

Take one coin from one bag, two from the next, etc.

I do that already.

Is it a scale with a readout or is it a balance scale?

eLink: I always wondered if it's easy to read a regulateur. That big minute-hand without the hour-hand does seem counter-intuitive. Still, damned fine looking watch. Must ... refrain ...
