Wasn't my point clear enough? The word 'abuse' was used incorrectly.
To address your post above - an unnecessarily convoluted way of saying in a previous marriage the OP thought he drank too much and it might be the case now. Most think not.
I was agreeing with you. Think you've misinterpreted my post.To address your post above - an unnecessarily convoluted way of saying in a previous marriage the OP thought he drank too much and it might be the case now. Most think not.

But he does have a problem. I see no issue with pointing that out. Someone should, as if left unchecked he'll be one of those yellow people buying cheap gin at 7AM on a wet Tuesday. .
Don't be so ridiculous. Alcoholism is a very serious issue you shouldn't trivialise it. This bloke by his own admission drunk too much and was a bit of a dick. There is a world of difference between that and being Alcoholic, for a start he said he can take or leave drink, an alcoholic wouldn't be able to do that.

He might have, he might not. But your dramatic, self righteous "You have a problem" posts made the rest of us laugh at least.
But he does have a problem. I see no issue with pointing that out. Someone should, as if left unchecked he'll be one of those yellow people buying cheap gin at 7AM on a wet Tuesday. As observed, his drink problem has cost him a cherished relationship so surely it's worthwhile a shock tactic before it costs him his life? Or you could just continue to laugh, but I guess we have a different sense of humour. I'll gladly put up with your ridicule if it means this chap takes a moment to reflect on his choices and see nothing cringeworthy there.
Maybe not true cringe but I always look out for yellowjack's posts as he is a lunatic.

holes. Everyone has one, and mostly we don't appreciate being exposed to someone else's. It's the "What crappy personalised plates have you seen recently?" thread. Not the "What crappy personalised plates (as defined by PHer Fun Bus) have you seen recently?" thread. So I saw the plate, and despite it (currently) being displayed correctly, I thought it looked crappy. So it's here.
If'n ye dinnae like it, why not, oh, I don't know? Create a website of your very own, and decline to allow me to sign up? Or else accept that my opinion is different to yours. Neither one is necessarily right nor wrong. Now do me a favour and f-f-f-f-f..... fade away!
And the reposted photo? I'm sorry, yes, it's reposted. But it's relevant because I spotted the car again in daylight, but didnae ha' a camera on me. You could sue me, if you feel that I've caused you to suffer direct, or consequential financial loss. If you can be bothered. In the meantime, I'll continue to post inane drivel masquerading as informed opinion. Is that OK with everyone?Oh do fk off you angry little bd.

Is there a reason he is typing in a dialect or does he just want to make sure everyone knows how Scottish he is? Dont know why but it bothers me more than it should when people make a big point about where they're from. Yes, you're northern/Scottish/cockney etc., we get it.

Why shouldn't he? It doesn't have to do with him making a point, it can just be he writes in the way he speaks, or just wants to write in a bit of a different way for variety. Or does everyone need to speak Queen's English on here? (Yes, someone can add me to the cringe list now too)!Edited by V8Ford on Monday 12th January 16:35

Hi _rubinho_,
Absolutely fascinating! I have, today, just picked up my Omega Planet Ocean GMT 'GoodPlanet'. It's been a 5 month odyssey, which started with an innocuous visit to my faithful and friendly jewellers.
Whilst doing my daily errands, one balmy weekday afternoon I wandered in to look at a suitable 'eternity' ring for my lady. Regardless of the relentless 60's De Beers marketing machine, I could envision that with wedding and engagement ring bonding her left hand, that a veritably chunky and desirous piece - something really 'dreadknought-y' - on the right hand would give the right balance. Some real powwow and pizzaz glistening both paws.
Anyway...five minutes later after perusing what was on offer, I'd scooted over to the other side of the store. The Place Beyond The Baubles. The watch section.
Ten years ago I had an Omega 2254. At the time, my third 'serious' watch purchase. But then a burglar treated it as swag. I used the insurance payout to work the Breitling angle. I settled upon a SuperOcean Steelfish 42mm - I think they only made it for one year. But as the years went by, and I started to get amongst the other brands, I always thought I needed to fill that Omega-sized hole.
When I looked at the range, I was aware of the Planet Ocean series. I watched the 2500 launch, and always thought I'd have one. Then when the 8500 series came out with the clear case back, and the further in-housed co-axial movement, I sat up further. But my thinking went like this: 42mm or 45mm three-hand? 9300 Chrono at 45.5mm? Either too large or concerned I wasn't getting the 'big-dog' of the range.
Then seeing the GMT, the 43.5mm, best of both worlds sizing, and the relatively useful complication - a GMT - then I knew this was the sweet spot in the range. And with having a dozen or so visually similar and proportioned diver's watches, then the GoodPlanet, with the ceramic gold and blue styling became something I found hard to resist.
But I placed things on pause whilst I considered other things: I spent four or so months umm'ing and aah'ing over the IWC Aquatimer Chronograph Edition "Expedition Charles Darwin" and the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea (Tribute). For one reason or another (IWC - movement; JLC - I already have some vintage-y looking dive numbers), I was swayed back to the Omega range.
I wasn't considering anything Rolex-y. They are fine, fine watches, be of no doubt, but, for me I like exploring other brands. I'll pick up a 5513 or a 1680, something that dates to when the Beatles were hip and LBJ was president, one day. Something with a monster dome. But the current range for me is overwhelming 'corporate attire'. Lovely watches, but part of the toolkit for the middle and upper management classes. My very personal opinion. Now that shouldn't cloud the oft-quoted view that 'buy what you want to wear not what others think'. Rolex make fabulously well engineered and reliable watches. They are the E46/E92 M3 (F82 M4?) of the watch world. A benchmark.
I bought an 8605 GoodPlanet because a) I was closing a personal watch-owning arc, b) knew that they are relatively uncommon, and c) have a fair few watches already and wanted some variety in the collection. But if I was looking at this fresh, and for the first time outlaying what isn't chump change, then I can certainly see any sane person being swayed by the Rolex GMT.
Either way, good luck and rest assured that at this level they are all lovely and attractive watches. So enjoy the journey!
p.s. I got the eternity ring in the end. Simple 15 minute decision.

I always cringe when I see stuff like that as well. Edited by V8Ford on Monday 12th January 16:35
I am Scottish, lived in the Highlands all my life, and it still bothers me when people intentionally emphasise their accents / how they type to show that they are from a certain area. Happens a lot here, one minute someone is communicating normally, the next they are putting on a thick accent!
We don't all do this though, supposedly I don't really have an accent and people tend not to believe me when I tell them where I am from
