TeeJay

My nan gave me my first watch when I was about 8ish, and I was hooked ever since Reading On Her Majesty's Secret Service first clued me in to Rolex, and I guess it was a downhill spiral from there

I just thought of a suggestion for the project... Orange minute hand, with white hour and second hands, old-school dive-style

All you need to do is brush lengthways down the bracelet with a green scotch-brite pad, and after a few minutes, the polished mid-links will match the brushed side-links

I don't know enough about GMTs to suggest further work, but I have to say that it looks phenomenal as it is, a fine watch for sure

Thanks indeed, and right back at you :drinks:

Here's another one: He cheated on his wife... As mentioned above, that's all he's going to be remembered for from now on... Absolutely. I think the character portrayed by Patrick Swayze (RIP) in Donnie Darko was very deliberately created to put that message out there to the celebs: Watch out what you do "in private", because of your celebrity, your lives are not private, and you will be found out in time...

Thanks, but I'm the lucky one to be with her Yes, some wounds don't heal as quickly as others, but it's good that she can be at ease with his passing, rather than upset by it. I think the fact that she saw him for what he really was, and that they were never close helped. Of course, at the time, it was a shock, but I think the relief she has felt since then, and not having to live on edge from his mind-games definitely keeps things in context

Nothing to feel bad about, life has been much less stressful, and happier for Emily, and she's said as much to many folks. It's sad to think that a parent wouldn't be missed by their child, but once people understood just what an ass he was, that he was nothing more than a 'biological donor', and never lived up to the title 'father' in any shape of the word, and left his widow with a mountain of debts, it's probably safest to say that things are better off this way, and I hope he's enjoying the warmth and hospitality of Costa del Satan

That's looking a bit chilly, my man, what's the outside temperature? Your room is looking much tidier than mine That was the role which brought her to my attention, but since then, I've just liked most everything she's been in, and, as cats respond best to names with an Ess in them, it seemed a good one

Thanks indeed, and I will indeed I hope you have a good Christmas too It should be a good one, and at least we don't have to go to Emily's dad's for Boxing Day dinner...

I have to admit, I think I'd rather have the 21 C The council couldn't be bothered to grit the roads, so driving is treacherous Here's one of Emily and I doing some shopping friday [Edit to add] Here's one of the third cat of the house We got her just before Christmas last year, and I named her Sadie, after Sadie Frost

He is indeed He's really my mother in law's cat, and only used to be called Jimmy, but he's such a proud and noble cat, I felt he deserved the respect of being 'Mister Jimmy' He's seldom seen, as he spends most of his time outside. My sister in law's friends didn't even believe he existed, as they'd never seen him, he's an International Cat of Mystery

On the furthest couch, yes The closer cat is Mister Jimmy, who's a rather nervous soul, and as I took the photos with my iPhone with music playing, he was a bit startled

At the moment, we've got about 3 inches of snow, frozen solid where it's been trodden/driven over and then re-froze over night (isn't it awesome when the local council can't be bothered to grit the roads ) and temperature of -3.5

Awesome topic Indoors: Outdoors:

You're absolutely right there, 100% There are celebrities who court media attention more than others, for example, Katie Price invites the reality show cameras into her house, Cheryl Cole, on the other hand, I can't ever imagine doing something like that. As you say, when someone is using their image as a marketing tool, once they break/change that image, then it's only fair that those deals come to an end... My wife was saying earlier, that she heard that Tiger Woods admited that he'd only got married because it would be good for his image

I doubt I'd have the spare cash to buy one, but I'd definitely be interested to see what you have in mind

As you included that, I think you'll be safe from the Mrs As for slowing down/speeding up... I'd say it depends entirely on your collecting strategy. Do you like to rotate through several watches daily, maybe just rotate them for particular wardrobes/occasions, with a particular favorite getting primary wrist time? If you fall into the latter category, then 'bulk buying' is a bit redundant, but it's all down to your own tastes and what makes you happy

A most enjoyable read, thank you for taking the time to scan and share

Is it just me, or has this past year just absolutely flown by?

Lack of a 'private life', is one of the prices celebrities pay for their fame and renown. At least he is doing the honorable thing and stepping out of the public eye to put his affairs in order (no pun intended)

I can't recommend anyone specific in the UK, but the Zigmeister (in Canada) has done fantastic work for many forum members

Nothing a little Sharpie-treatment won't cure

An awesome example that it's not just people driving 'crappy blue Chevy Novas' who wear reps
