  1. I see it now, Nolsen. Thank you very much! Even my DSN 112? I see it now on Andrew's 111h's though. @Sssurfer: You can bank on it. One day.
  2. Peepshow chilled by going out and getting himself a beautiful gen. BTW, guys, I just don't see it. I need to meet one of you good people so you can explain it to me like I'm a 3 year-old. @Corgi: Great avatar!
  3. Guys, is it me, or our Wristcheck threads simply more phenomenal every time? I know they're reps, but the eclectism of choices of watches, straps, and photography are SUPERB. Micah took almost two months to get mine done, Cronsell. Hang in there! He does have a very funny guarantee, which he sends on parchment paper. Guarantee If your strap ever gets ruined or fails for any reason I will replace it expediently and free of charge. This guarantee includes: Use, misuse, abuse, exposure, the need to burn your strap for warmth, your dog eating it in a fit of rage... whatever. If it's ruined I will replace it, no questions asked (unless the story sounds interesting). Cool! This will NOT be your last, for sure. I predict a Fiddy in the near future, Sturb. Wow! Never expected to see elegant you in camo, V. The soon-to-be Pater Familias already protecting his family. @Corgi: Corgi wearing a PAM! *Faint* *kisses Jellybean*
  4. Makes a change from all that Soviet rubbish we got for years. Nina Khrushchev & Jackie Kennedy I know which one I'd do.
  5. Perhaps with some this works, but just in case, I posted on my uTorrent problems with my IP address. Here is how I solved it. Maybe it can work for others too. "4- If you STILL don't have a dynamically assigned new IP do this: a. Go to Start, Run, cmd, ipconfig/release b. Disconnect the plug both from the electrical outlet and ethernet cable from the computer c. Reconnect it d. Allow it to bring up a new IP e. Check it under Start, All Programmes, Control Panel, Network Connections, Local Area Connection or similar, Enable or Repair if needed" Demon, THANK YOU. You're wonderful! Just downloading some torrents now, but I'll d/l this in the weekend.
  6. That's easy. You're cat looks like a Pasha. Sounds like a female name, but it's actually a very high-ranking Ottoman Empire title -- usually given to a lionine looking old gentleman, with flowing beard, seated on a cushion. This is the infamous Ali Pasha of Yannina. Looks just like your cat, Mezz. Unless you want to name it Kobold. @Cronsell: Thanks! Actually, Milgauss not pronounced the French way, is an interesting name for a pet -- even though it's sounds Nixon/Simpsonesque.
  7. Some merited translations for our North American cousins. A shell suit is a nylon track suit. And the names of the babies are for chavs, not for black kids (as they would be in the USA). I wonder -- should we forward this to the most famous of Yellowbellies, namely Margaret Thatcher. :lol:
  8. No silly! I hope the reply made people laugh. Anyway, you're the second person to fool me on this board. The other was Mr. Tom Hawkes' .sig, which I even reported as a bug to the Mods. Oh that Vicky. So German and literal.
  9. That may have been true in the 30s, but by the 40s he was full-on vegetarian (via the Hitler specialist, Sir Alan Bullock). The last meal he had in his bunker, according to the very well-researched Der Untergang, was cheese ravioli. Quick, humour injection else Ken will kill us! Hitler's favourite movie was Lives of a Bengal Lancer. He was a huge Gary Cooper fan. Every time I read that, I laugh.
  10. Huh. I would ban him for that.
  11. Robb, Leo here too! Leos = overbearing leader wannabes with fixations on luxury goods. @Stormtrooper4: I'm a so-called "Double Leo". Roar.

    Bond 22

    IMHO, the choices for all the Bonds were spot on, for their RESPECTIVE ERAS. Sean Connery's macho, suave, Hugh Hefner-inspired early-60s 007. Roger Moore's drippingly sarcastic, elegant James Bond a perfect foil for the classless 70s. Pierce Brosnan's post-yuppy, exceedingly OBVIOUS 007 for the exceedingly OBVIOUS 90s. Now, Daniel Craig, a tough, clipped sentences guy for a time where cocktails and dinner jackets would look bizarre fighting turbans in caves. Even Lazenby and Dalton fit well, and in fact, Dalton is considered the best Bond by a lot of people (not I, I'm a Connery girl).
  13. Why has Anton been banned? He was so nice. Dupe accounts??
  14. Guys, I went to watch this last night on the 4OD wotsit, and it wouldn't play. Have to be in the UK and Repub of Ireland to view programmes. Sorry about that. Don't know how proxies work, but this is a standalone programme, not a web-based one -- so not sure proxies would work? Didn't Confused69u say he'd have this on his website for d/l? Come on now, help us out.
  15. There used to be a "Head" shop in Coconut Grove here, which had a whole section devoted to Ed Hardy's. I used to go in, just to check out the aged hippies in bandanas and have a larf.
  16. WOW! Worth the wait, worth the wait, Jsmith. This whole page, from Lanikai's new BIG photos of his BCE, to Scoobs' delicious Havanna Drifter, to the naughty but beautiful business Chopard Cronsell wore to work (hope it's not a bank!), Max' Seiko, EVERY watch so far -- perfect. EDIT: Hey! I just checked. This is the first Wristie so far, where I didn't get any ratings. Well that's the last time I go girlie for you all.
  17. I love my own Delaurian! Again, whatever else one may think of his straps, I think his skill is superb.
  18. Yes, but I needed to be calmed down, and the Prologue is almost mesmeric. It comes at you in waves, building, building...tension, release, tension, release -- love it. Ooh, nice. Never heard it -- I'm a total music illiterate, really. EDIT: Found it on iTunes. Ah that one! ...I don't know titles, but I can always recognise a work I've heard before. @GiD: I love Goldfrapp, Volker! Nice choice there. EDIT: Yes, it was that bad. (I love Wagner).
  19. And what is known as doing it "Dutch" in English, is known as "Spanish" in other countries. Just ask an Italian if he enjoys La Spagnola. :o WTF! Found, no doubt, at Euston Station. Other useless/unusual facts: - King Alexander I of the Hellenes died as a result of being bitten by his pet monkey. He was trying to separate his pet dog, who was fighting with the monkey. - John F. Kennedy had a lazy eye, which allowed him to speed read 2000 w/p/m - Emperor Ferdinand I of Austria had a favourite "trick" which involved squeezing himself into a rubbish bin, and rolling himself down the Palace stairs to amuse his Courtiers. (It did)
  20. Sshhh. Don't mention the war.
  21. I'm angry I've been stuck home all day due to heavy rain, when I have so many pending chores to do, SO... Children of Bodom's "Lake Bodom" & Wagner's "G
  22. I suspected it before, but this sounds like an English-speaking person trying to sound German. Even the most backwards of Germans, with a limited grasp of English, know the verb doesn't come at the end, as in German... Anyway...
  23. Snip loads of stuff I agree with. That's why I think, of all nations, France is the one in the best position in terms of replicas. Whereas other countries like the USA are known for their marketing icons, which can be duplicated, they banked very heavily on their inestimable terroir. Try as the Chinese might, they will NEVER EVER be able to replicate Krug champagne, 246 kinds of French cheeses, and Johnny Halliday. Thank God. @Demon: I just read about the fellatio. You see, some people do read things to the end.
  24. Thank you, Madasboot. Was just about to pull the trigger on it! EDIT: NOT! @Dluddy: I think you hit the nail on the quick! That's exactly what they look like. Tattoos.
