You should be a member of the MX5Nutz facebook group. When a female posts something MX5 related a guranteed 10 blokes will start arse kissing. So cringe!
Same thing happens here. It's a joke.

Especially the handbag and bracelet comments on page 2.
This little one liner made my toes curl "Also, I like to see a woman wear a Cartier. I find it rare that a woman wearing one isn't worth talking to."

I would fking piss myself if I heard anyone say anything like that in person. I know it's a terrible thing to say, but he really makes his wife sound like an awfully shallow, horrible person. I wonder how many times he's heard "You're not putting that in me unless I get a new pair of Choo's."

Anyway. My mum's got a Cartier. She can be a right miserable old .

Bring back the cringe thread. Please.

Never understood the appeal of wearing something that costs as much as a new small hatchback on your wrist or has servicing/cleaning costs the same as a car service. I have 3 watches but haven't worn them in over 5 years as I always just check my phone to see the time. I have a 'nice' watch (cost about £100) which I have to actively remind myself to wear but forget most of the time. Might get myself a cheap £5 casio aka suicide bombers favourite soon just so that ill have a watch to look at instead of taking my phone out my pocket all the time.

and "clowncil" for council

when asking how someone is, they reply "not three bad"


I once interviewed a chap (in his flat) with a colleague. he answered the door with just a towel round him. Some filthy old man.

when we sat down- us opposite on high dining room chairs, him sinking into an armchair

his balls fell out of his undercracker. And remained on display. FFS.

we then noticed his extensive collection of adult VHS cassettes under his telly. (this isn't that long ago either)

Thats weird, the only woman I know who has a Cartier is a right social climbing conscience free zone, was banging another bloke as her husband lay dying, moved him in a week after the funeral.

Same on the Lotus FB groups too ... It's like some of the members have never been with, or have spent time around women before!

Cartier is IME the female Rolex, an aspirational brand for people who aren't into watches and want something to impress their mates.

I accept that not all owners of either are this way inclined but certainly a lot are.

Whilst we are on the topic, "wrist time" is a good one that never fails to make me cringe.

I agree, if it was serious, but I see it as a very tired attempt at playing to the stereotype of car people being boring and socially inept.

For a moment then I thought 'wrist time' meant something entirely different.

Judging by some of the watch forums, it could refer to how much time one spends self-loving over their latest Sub

This is the bit that jumped out at me, I was worried it wouldn't be mentioned.

I don't get the watches forum or the love of watches. It's not cringey I just don't get it. Each to their own.

Its the over-inflation of their hobby/things they like into items of social significance I don't get. It's just materialistic nonsense that betrays an awful lot about the individual in my opinion.

I have a casiof-91w on my wrist at the moment, I find the hourly beep very useful, trying to explain to others why is tedious.

Although when a certain person hears at work he does chime up ''oooh must be time for the hourly aids tablet''

"Yeah. Bad AIDS. I caught it off your mum/dad/son." would be my reply.

I like watches and spend a fair bit of time on the watch forum, but.......'worn in rotation'. shoot
