Pugwash

I'm a terrorist then. It smells of wee.

Eww, quartz?

Once again, a must-read post. Amazing work.

I agree. It's the "This is a true story" that detracts from the entertainment. Jokes are funny without people trying to pass them off as true.

Just back from a weekend's camping. This was what I wore: Here's where I wore it:

Just back from holiday, so here we go ... http://www.snopes.com/crime/clever/cigarson.asp

It's a fugly watch and everyone needs some fugly in their collection. Me, I've got the Panerai 187, but this would do.

Yeah, if everyone knew you were in the North Pole, they'd guess pretty quickly that you were in fact Santa.

This is normal. Most mail-order companies require accounts. Buying from Cousins is the same as buying from Amazon, for instance. As long as you know what you're after, it's amazingly easy.

I want one of these. A friend of mine at work has the black dial (gen) but I think the white is vastly superior.

Every time I offer a watch for sale, I state EU preferred, but I'll sell to anyone outside the EU at their risk, with their choice of postage. As long as I don't have to carry the risk, a sale to the US (and I've done a few) is the same as a sale to the EU, only with a slightly longer wait.

I'll do all your research for you for a 10% finder's fee.

Again? ... and for fun:

Neil had the unfortunate weakness of turning on his friends. He just flips a switch and that's it. I was on the receiving end of it and it got to the point where he was making out to some members that I had something to do with his banning here. He doesn't see greys, just black and white, and he doesn't know when to cut his losses or apologise. I respected Neil and thought of him as a friend, but the moment I received a free watch for review from Puretime, he turned into an abusive and vindictive man, making out that I played him from the beginning. You see, anything anyone does is always about him, even when it's not. While I still respect him, I can't think of him as a friend any more.

Great pic. I've not tried photographing one of these. I suspect I'll not manage with my lazy lighting.

If you're using Internet Explorer, you deserve all the adverts.

I've had the Canon EOS 400D (Xti in the US) for a few weeks now. I think I'm getting the hang of it.

Best commuting game ever. You don't need to pause it to see if it's your train/bus stop. ps. Here's some videos I made of the games I play: rFactor and Everybody's Golf (hotshots) rFactor: Donington Park Albatross in Everybody's Golf

Sunday best:

Of course. To imagine that it could be faked shows a complete and utter lack of knowledge of the whole subject. Amateur astronomers were able to track the flight. Radio Hams were able to hear the conversations. Point a laser at the moon and you can hit the reflector they installed. All tests/observations possible/available to anyone in the world. Of all of the hundreds of thousands of people involved in the NASA space program, not one has ever said it was faked? We went to the moon: there is no doubt. Radiation? [censored]. You're showing your lack of research again and just listening to the conspiracy theorists without doing any fact checking. Do you know what sort of waves and the amount of radiation in the Van Allen belt? In total, they got hit with around 2 REM, a quite high (and measurable) amount. High, but not lethal unless you do it often. They went through a tiny area of radioactive space at high speed and they got hit by less rads than the photographers (or tourists)that visited the Chernobyl region. They basically rolled the dice and took a 1 in 1000 gamble. Now look up what Alan Sheperd died of. Not gone back? Well, yeah. That's politics and we should be ashamed of ourselves. More importantly, to not believe, you have to want to not believe. Why do you want to live in a world where we've not been on the moon? If it were down to people with that sort of opinion, we'd still be in caves. Reach for the stars.

Yup, you failed to see the irony.

Absolutely not. The closest we came is I got a free watch to review once and it was fully disclosed. Anyone shill-reviewing would be spotted fairly easily.

I use AVG on the virtual machine (VMWare and Parallels with XP and Server 2003) I run on my Mac. It's an excellent budget choice. However, it doesn't deal with spyware. For that you need something different. Or, get a Mac.
