Pugwash

The guy never really needs to look at the time. He's surrounded by people to tell him what time it is.

So, my IWC GST should keep going for a while longer. Superb work, as usual!

Ah, that's why they were rude. I'd not sell to you. You don't sound like an easy customer.

When the Secret Service give you a watch as a mark of respect, you get to tell us why you're wearing your old Tag instead. Until then, sit back down.

Show me a free market. One without subsidies, import or export duties, laws on ecological responsibility or child labour. True free markets don't exist, and there's a reason for that.

Right, I'll keep out of it then.

I know you'll have heard of some of the clients I manage sites/servers for. One was even mentioned in this very thread ... :-)

I'm a UNIX sysadmin. I manage servers for clients you've heard of. I used to be a graphic designer and RPG writer back when RPGs happened around a table instead of at a keyboard. Successful? Well, I'm not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I have no debt, apart from on the house I live in. I consider myself successful though as it's not all about money.

I once tried on an IWC FA Jones in Platinum. Looked great, but I couldn't afford it.

That's what happened to me, too.

Links are in my sig, probably. (bonus pics follow ...)

Oh, I get it. You're one of those conservatives. Let 'em fail; serves 'em right. Screw 'em till they bleed; they should have paid more attention in shark-avoidance class. Fail.

You obviously don't understand how pensions work. They're all Ponzi schemes by design.

The lesson I've learned from the economic collapse: No-one, and I mean no-one, truly understands what's going on and how to fix it. Every pundit you read was merely guessing before the crash and are still guessing after. Fill a room with 100 chickens and one or two of them can guess six right answers in a row by pecking randomly. How many pundits are there and how many of them were consistently right in six consecutive decisions before the crash? "Croyez ceux qui cherchent la v

That's precisely it. I've been busy at work and have been treating my leisure time with more respect. Once things quieten down, I'll be back. If anyone is desperate to keep up with what I'm doing, I'm on Twitter. First initial of my first name followed by my surname. I'm easy to find.

Photoshop can be used to make pictures closer to what the photographer saw, not what the camera captured. To completely dismiss the value of software by calling it fake is a little naive.

This would be a dangerous step towards totalitarianism. Freedom means letting the other guy be free as well. If you want to start putting qualifying restrictions on benefits, start with sensible ones that aren't just privacy invasions under a different name.

I've read between the lines and now have a plausable explanation for you. The member got a phishing mail that said their account was hacked. They clicked on the link and got pwned. Sound likely? I'll bet cold hard cash that's what happened.

Replicas of items that require safety certification are never wise.

"I've met the pope, you blasphemous lot, and you look nothing like him."

Nope, it was me. I used it to describe the amazing value watch I got from TTK.

Sure it's not a 7750?

... apart from it's a fly-back and there are two hands at 6. Oh, and don't forget the window between 4 and 5.
