I'll bet you're also very convincing when you dress up as Santa for Christmas... But what the Hal, not looking to blow anyone's cover... :-)

My God, she's broken out of her subforum!

Nanuq and Miss Understood Posting so closely in time, I wonder if they're not one and the same Even if their names don't rhyme. :-)

This is becoming the Da Vinci Code of RWG threads. I shudder to think of what mysteries will be revealed next. Probably will have something to do with the Celtics and the Rangers...

We're talking muzzle velocity, sort of.

I would think that RWG veterans are never complete strangers.... Especially if they've spent any time in The Bin together: Bin Buddies! On the other hand, if I were celebrating my 10th anniversary (it's not your birthday, right?) in Paris with my wife, well, I guess I see her point. Does this also mean you won't be hitting the watch stores?

Let's just say a quiet storm. I must also confess that I was secretly hoping to run into Miss Understood on one of her Parisian flings, but no such luck!

Cornerstone, I've often thought exactly the same thing myself. It's better that I don't go into the reasons why, however.

The great thing about this is that the opposite is also true.

One must first get in touch with one's own Inner Neil...

This very evening, in a landmark Parisian cafe in Montparnasse, Mr. Pugwash and Mr. Ryyannon spent several delightful hours discovering their common interests in Arthurian legends, Captain Beefheart, Glastonbury, Lars von Trier, Kate Bush, White Hat Hackers, the Mabinogian, the fine art of pornographic photograpy, Rudolph Steiner, Glasgow, Milwaukee Wisconsin, Los Angeles, Bangkok, the inherent intelligence of pigeons, life with three cats and a girl-friend, single-malt whiskey, good cigars, Frank Zappa, network administration, virtual footprints....and...um.....watches. It is hoped that other members currently residing in Paris will feel encouraged to transcend their Frenchness and join in for a future meeting during which we can actually see each other and converse as nature intended - which is to say without the intermediary of data packets, lcd screens, but preferably clothed just the same. Mr. Pugwash was a charming and knowledable drinking companion, while Mr. Ryyannon, evidently on his best behavior, managed not to alienate or otherwise offend anyone within several kilometers - the only exception being a blond of a certain age a few tables away who felt compelled to let Mr. Ryyannon know, and with great vehemence, that she was 'not a prostitute' but in fact was 'a famous artist.' To which Mr. Ryyannon replied that he had been staring at her watch because he had mistaken her for Marianne Faithfull. In short, a good time was had by (nearly) all. No pics this time, but if we can dredge up a few courageous frogs the next time, Mr. Pugwash promises to employ his considerable photogaphic talents to immortalize the event. Pug's Subs, Pam and IWC were impressive (out of tact and good breeding, we shall refrain from commenting on Ryyannon's frightening collection of dead Swatches), but to be perfectly honest, the girls - legions of them on this warm Summer evening - were even better. And why is it that it's always when you're leaving that you see the one that you want to stay for?

Other than the chrono functions, there are no hands on that watch. Four wheels on the F1, though.

Getting in touch with Neil (TTK) should not be a problem: he's one of the touchiest guys here. Feeliest too. Useless to PM him, though - has turned it off: too much fan-mail to even read. But don't worry - Neil's the man, oldest dealer on the board - always comes though - good as gold - you're in the best of hands - always my favorite: a gentleman, a scholar and according to Miss Understood, 'a gorgeous hunk!'

End of story, Neil - it's been a pleasure crossing swords with you - one always comes out stronger with a worthy opponent.

Show me when and where. You can't, since I never did. Are you sure you're not confusing me with Rya? What the hell are you smoking these days, Neil? As for supporting you for the few days when they locked you out, of course nothing I said got you back in - on the other hand, I was not part of the lynch-mob that was tearing your reputation to pieces once you were no longer there to defend it. For the rest, I'm not going to take up bandwith and member's time turning pages to reply - especially since concerning this particular issue (ie, me) you're your own worst spokesman. I don't even have the time to post a proper response, since I'ver many things to take care of today. I will be back to update and amend this post when time permits, however.

Also to be remembered is the fact that Leeds Castle museum in Kent houses a collection of dog collars spanning four centuries.

Everyone seems afraid of getting blasted, coming down with an incurable disease or irremediably compromising their ethics just for going over there - nevertheless, it's the only way to see what's going on: "Board Offline I need to move RWG to a new host because the old one going out of business. This should be finished in 24 hours."

I should have recognized the Cortebert movement - you don't see those very often... A real collector's item.

Is this the ex-WM model that we recently saw on TRC? Whatever, it's a beauty...

Unitarian.

One from the heart, Neil. Keep spreading the love...
