Why can they only wear one watch? Most have 2 arms and you can fit multiple watches on each. Loads of space to 'flex' (I think that is the right term!).
I stand corrected

Hayek got there first.
The dirty postcards are inside his jacket?

£1K trainers



...
That particular style of trainers does not provide enough height. I typically see the Balenciaga/ Gucci types that add at least 3 inches to their height... plus whatever it is they put inside as they almost always walk as if they were in heels.

Model for illustration purposes only - typical trainer wearer looks infinitely more idiotic while being infinitely less attractive

His hairline probably has more to to with this than donning multiple wrist watches at any one time - especially during press conferences.

I didn't see any specific thread.... only took me to the Watch sub-forum. I agree some of the watches are awful and don't even suit the wearer at all (yeah, the Toolex/ Rolex bubble thread).

Those tacky threads and posts on pistonheads where the poster pretends to be so old money or wealthy that they claim to have no idea what something totally normal or mundane is like

There’s one running at the moment “just how bad is economy flights” on their last min holiday to the Seychelles”

Of course all the posters are replying “ oh I simply wouldn’t dream of going cattle class, you’ll likely be stabbed or catch scabies from the poor person next to you, first is simply the only way to go”

Or oh my electricity bill last month was only £3000, I just don’t know what people are moaning about

Or some other Home Counties investment banker golf course chat

Yup, Harry Enfield had it spot on in the 1980’s, and it’s still relevant today.

Such a shame his watches don’t improve his current lap times when his at work.

Shush you two.

That's why it is perfect. "WTF is that dude, a Civic?", "No, it's a Lamborghini"
You'd either get laughed at until his head exploded or he would say nothing.

It's the ultimate tat of the car world (next to a chavved up Civic).

ACE!

He needs two because 12 hours is not long enough to time 1 lap in his mercedes.

Some one I once knew bought one of those tvs or a real similar one. it was delivered in the morning and when his wife came home in the evening he had removed the contents of the cupboard under the stairs, cut the plaster board off of the wall and inserted it into the cavity left, the house was a two up two down with the stairs running 90degrees to the neighbours wall. I thought it was excellent, his wife didn't .. her pantry had been relocated to the dinning room table.. but wall mounted tv...
