One for the Horolophiles(?) - Not whinging or ranting, but why did you decide you chose to spend far larger sums than average on a watch?

Oh and because it makes my *cough* look bigger


Why do you want a bigger cough? Does your Girlfriend think lung cancer is sexy?

This is the thing: I don't appreciate expensive cars, I appreciate fast, enjoyable cars.

Whilst the engineering of a watch is impressive, I'd rather spend the equivalent money something interactive.

A good watch is a watch that prevents you from being late, and, it occurs to me that a £7.99 digital Casio will do that with all of the precision you could ever realistically require.

A good car is something that has to be fast, responsive, informative, light, and atractive. A car's purpose is to be driven, and a watch's is to tell time.

Dunno. Why'd you buy a Porsche Turbo instead of a Ford Fiesta?



Because you can get tail out in a Porsche, it's more enjoyable to drive, it's faster, it's quicker, and it holds its value better.
