How many do you have? Is there a bucket list?

Saturday morning's all right,
For trivia
What do you think?"

Elton: "I think it needs something."

Typical Eccleston.

"Get a little action in. Oh yeah! Oh ye-a-a-a-ah! Ooo - oo - oo - ooh!"

Great drums on that track. At a guess Roger Pope?

This isn’t all of them...



Compressor reissue (sorry it’s out of focus, I CBA taking it out again). It’s second hand but basically as new. The bracelet hasn’t even been unwrapped or sized.



And a “vintage” Accutron, which compared to most stuff nowadays is tiny!



I don’t have one, but the Bulova lunar watches always get recommended. I think Greendubber from the under £200 thread has one. They have actually been used as space watches, I seem to remember. They can be found sometimes for much less than RRRP as well.

Why do need so many watches?

Argh.... got it. Long arm of the law.

[StuntmanMike]

Come on guys! That was funny ....

You’re nicked, son. Crimes against... something or other.

They’re all a bit different. I have stopped myself from buying stuff. They would all qualify for Bobbers’s “Under £200” thread over in watches, with some costing much less than that. Apart from the Sinn and the Farer...

I notice in the first photo a pair of knee straps Dibble. I've been wearing the same for work this last six month's to help stop my cartlidge's from popping out,which is extremely painfull and especially on a regular basis.

They help. The Velcro is on the way out but I've been impressed by them.

I think the mrs got them from the states.

Cheers. I’ve also got a Dan Henry 1970 in the orange, like this one:

I really want a Farer Hecla aqua compressor in the blue. They seem to have come down in price since I last looked...

My “grail watch” (kill me now) is a Sinn 856 UTC, but I’ve yet to “pull the trigger” (make the death slow and painful) on one. Some “wrist time” (then hunt down my family) with it as a “daily driver” (kill everyone I know) would be where it’s at...

Properly made me laugh that did, especially seeing as you know how I feel about those phrases!!!!

StuntmanMike it was very funny!!!

Well it's done, I've "pulled the trigger" on it, ordered from a shop rather than through Ebay, but from the same seller, but as I went through the shop I got a 5% discount which made it £325!!!!

Jolly good, I'm pleased for you old boy

One thing though, I really wouldn't wear it to your birthday party. "50 Bumps" is going to be quite an ordeal, we certainly wouldn't want it damaged.

Thinking about it, the telehandler's going to get a pounding too. I'll give it a look over in the morning, make sure the old beast's up to the job.

Probably a good idea Bomma, although I thought we were going with the "Drop Bobbers from the Sunderland onto a trampoline" approach!!!! I was quite looking forward to a repeat performance!!!

We're talking about StuntmanMike here Bomma, I reckon he's good for a lot more than just crimes against the soul, I mean just look at the mess he's made of his loft for a start!!!!

[Bobberoo99]

We've both both got a case of the munchies, Italian salamis and cheeses to the rescue!!!

Earlier on step daughter #2 brought some shopping in for us. Mrs C checked dates to see in what order we would eat stuff.
"What's the date today," she asked.
I looked at my phone.
"The fourteenth," I said.
"The fourteenth?"
I looked again. 14 07. 14th July.

Or possibly seven minutes past two.

It's a shame when the faculties start going like that!!!!

Capital idea old chap. Have a chat about it with Captain Robbo, I'm not sure things went totally according to plan last time out.

I'll no doubt find some pressing business to attend to on the ground, though I do look forward to watching you have a good bounce.

From the comparative safety of the Control Tower roof, probably.

[StuntmanMike]

Just watched Rambo Last Blood on Amazon Prime.

Don’t piss Rambo off. that’s all I’m saying.

Gooday cobblers!

Bright & Cheerful here oop norf this morning. Sunny too.

What a lovely day for getting yer top off and going roofless.
But first a nice cup of tea and smeggs & bacon.
S&M, when are your roofers starting to strip off?

I got around to building my plastic shed yesterday. Looks like one of those porta loos at a motor racing venue.

You could clad it in wood!

You know! Like a wooden shed.

A bit softer to look at like.

[Scrump]

If you did clad it in wood then you would never get Dicky out of it
