......Don't suppose you have ever seen the elusive George H?!

He does exist Molly - Mikey, Big T and I have been on a run up to see him.

Does a wicked bacon butty

Need to decide who to sit next to... who is most likely to leave half their dinner, last time I got most of (AdamV8's other half) Romi's steak

you definitely don't want to sit next to me then - IF I was leaving any food, it certainly wouldn't be steak......unless it was overcooked of course

I believe you also had some of my supper

Indeed, your fish and Romi's steak. Don't even remember what I had...

Ah, halcyon days...

v8woollie said:

V8 PLL, as you didn't add (tour) I assume your +1 isn't doing the tour so the reserve point remains the same?

That's fine, have been out of the loop since this morning, just playing catch-up.

I'm sitting next to JuliaAnne. She's not a big eater.

If Mrs Yeti is coming, I'll be sat as far away from Julia-Anne as possible and denying ever having met her

No problem. You can both do the tour. I will adjust the reserve list start point later today.

Take it as a hint!

I'll get some bacon, and maybe even sausage, in for next time

I suppose the fact she'll say 'hi!' when she sees me will give it away anyway

She's just a bit too attractive for her own good really, the poor thing.

Fancying a new (to me) piece to celebrate this... AMVOX II or Reverso Grande GMT?

AMVOX2 every time (especially the AMVOX2 Chronograph DBS in titanium/platinum )! Not a fan of the Reverso, square (or rectangular) watches don't do anything for me.

Have been looking at some stunning JLCs in Suria KLCC today:

(my favourite one was right middle)


Was very taken with this IWC too... but thought better of it (plus prices over here seem dearer than back home).

Hi all - I highly doubt if my other half will be interested in the JLC tour so that spot is up for grabs. She could definitely keep herself busy in a nearby town for an afternoon whilst the tour was conducted.

Completely dependent on timings, I'm unsure about driving over as I have a distinct lack of holiday this year due to a big chunk being reserved to drive across America.

EDIT: Having said that, knowing me, I'd probably drive anyway. What's another few thousand miles.

I have the Amvox but even if I didn't and you wanted a special piece I'd go for the iconic Reverso. It epitomises everything about JLC and its history.

I do alredy have the Reverso GS Retrograde Chronograph though... would probably still keep that, I like chronos, but wonder if I'd wear them both.
