I have this and heartily concur! All those years of arsing about with lesser contraptions. This came into my life and it is so easy.

A landmine?

A landmine?

Yeah, for those who hate X-mas.

Intesting you say that - some of the latest clones are almost identical to the genuine Rolex. I would say in a year or two the quality of the fakes will match the real Rolex in every way - scary but the Chinese are going to take a real bite out of genuine products - just look at football shirts - can you blame someone paying £10.00 for a fake when originals are over £70.00? But knowing you have a genuine, will IMHO always make it special - even if everyone else thinks its a fraud.

There's a lot of snobbery around watches.

There are many with identical movements very similar casements but the labels different and the prices vary wildly.

The 'new' bukta shirt is cotton and comfortable, although I rarely wear it. I have an original, and aside it having shrunk, it's like wearing P80 grit sandpaper

I was just about to put both dogs or all the dogs I have owned from £70 RSPCA to £2.5k ridiculous price but couldn't get a rehomed dog, love them all.

Did they use a GUN?

 

[happypig]

It’s this one. Didn’t have foot rest and it’s a bit worn but by God it’s comfy

I’ve got one of them. Bought it off facebook for £75. You’re right about the comfort

 

[el punal]

My two season tickets (Me and Mrs.Punal) for the Albion back in 2010/11. So far 14 years of love, fun, excitement, doom, gloom and despair - and that’s just with Mrs.Punal! Divorce incoming.

But had to have my two big trees taken out a while back, so the chain saw is considerably less useful to me now. I keep trying to find excuses to break it out.

You could go on a rampage around town? Assuming it's not a plug-in electric one in which case you'll need a long extension lead.
