"Did EDM kill Avicii"? No, it existed before he was born. It could have been what his parents were listening to as they conceived him.

Rev is correct. I didn't expect to enjoy it but it's like Big Brother before it got samey or constrained by trying not to hurt the snowflakes' feelings. Last night's show was a corker.

You'd be OK if it wasn't the tinned stuff though? Surely?

Generic. Has any reboot of a defunct British sportscar maker name been successful, ever?

Fixing a drawer for my tenants, that apparently just broke while they were in the other room

I can't beat it by much in my Mazda.

Weirdly, I sort of get what GG is on about. For example, I like narrowboats and canal holidays. We went on a few as a kid but I haven't done it as an adult with my family as it's so expensive (as much as going abroad). Or, you can buy a part share in one for the equivalent of 5 x 1 week holidays (a...

I'm also amused that Jobbo doesn't associate deck shoes with sailing 👍🏼 You wear proper shoes for sailing: https://www.musto.com/en_GB/accessories/footwear/sailing-footwear/?sz=12&start=0 Note that the deck shoe style is called 'Harbour moccasin'. Or you could use them while walking around on y...

The Snowflake's face is original. The face being round, the fact that it has lug mountings for a strap, the fact that it uses a crown to adjust the time - if you want something which goes against the grain, that's like saying you should deviate from a steering wheel and circular tyres on a car :D Ab...

Fiberglass is the American spelling Jobbo, so floats just fine. 😉 Sailing is fun for a few hours and they look pretty, but it gets pretty tiring quite quickly travelling at a few knots at some stupid angle trying to get somewhere. For example, say you had a boat in Palma, Mallorca; you could sail a...

How about that pub in Avebury again for lunch?

Some Grand Seikos are more like a Lexus LFA - beautiful and desirable in their own way, not as a pastiche of a European ideal.

If I hadn't said it before, congratulations Jobbo 8-) :shock: @ weather. You wouldn't have expected that when booking the wedding. Fortunately that was in Birmingham and the wedding was in Cheltenham. Birmingham had a ridiculous amount of rain in a short time on 27 May: https://youtu.be/-fU4GSXXjgU

Those pushers are utterly ridiculous. There aren't many Grand Seikos I actually like (your Snowflake being one of them); Seiko seem keen to make as many variants of Grand Seiko as they do Seiko 5, just with much better finishing.

I like boats, but I'd always want one with a mast. Not a gin palace.

ETA: but not for canals - I'd have a steel hull in preference to fibreglass though.

I didn't notice this thread because it was posted on my wedding day. We were bloody lucky; it rained pretty hard just before and during the ceremony then thundered as we came out but remained dry after that. Some guests didn't make it; apparently the M5 was shut though they had problems closer to ho...

Does fiberglass float? I'd prefer it to be made of fibreglass or glassfibre. Having not chartered a luxury yacht (pronounced mangrove), I had to look up APA. It's 'Advance Provisioning Allowance', usually 30-35% of the daily charter fee, and is a deposit against the cost of fuel, food, drink etc con...

Nath, Love Island is more interesting.

I was going to suggest a Puma but that's not Swedish enough, so a Volvo 480 ES: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... 6167560730

A petrol version of her S40 (the Dutch one which is basically a Mitsubishi Carisma underneath, not the later Focus-based one) would be a pragmatic choice.
