Sad to hear of Benjamin's death

I love his poetry and the way he presents it

RIP

@Jobbo have you seen that Jody from Just One More Watch has bought himself the new Aplinist GMT?

No mention of the infamous munchy box?

Are they still a thing?

That seemed way more luck than judgment

Surely it depends on your build, if you’re over 6ft tall and a pretty big chap a sub 40mm watch will look like a kids watch. Sub-35mm was perfectly normal in the past. Bigger watches are just fashion and going out of favour a bit. It’s always easier to show off your bling if it’s bigger but is bein...

The Essential Mix turned 30 years old this year and they're re-releasing 30 old mixes to celebrate

Looks like I have some work to do!

Being able to choose where to spend your own advertising money is a form of free speech, is it not ? Where is he on free speech these days ? When it comes to him saying what he wants without consequences, he's in favour If it's something being said by someone he doesn't like, or about something he ...

It's not news, but the thing with narcissists is that it's always someone else's fault It can't ever be their own actions - that just doesn't compute They're always the victim, because otherwise, they'd have to deal with the possibility that maybe it's them, not everyone else that's the problem So i...

Dodgy fucker

Anything to do with vinegar is repulsive to me

Some great overtakes and action I was really encouraged to see Leclerc pull away from Max in the early stages, and yes, it was mainly because Max's tyres were going off, but I was hoping for at least some competition this time Sadly not really And as much as I hate Max, I was pleasantly surprised to...

@Jobbo I see what you mean about the indices on the Alpinist looking like an early Explorer!

Watch related - following a pointer I bought a couple of "Scotchbrite Webrax" Scouring pads off ebay for £buttons and used the 100-grit one to re-brush the SuperEngII that I use with my Chris Ward C11 (but haven't worn for ages as it had picked up a couple of scratches that were annoying ...

I wouldn't even bother if it was a Samsung tbh. The UI is utterly awful. We don't actually use anything on our TVs (Freeview box, Blu-ray and Chromecast) so the TV UI isn't really a concern... It's basically just a screen and speakers Fair enough. However, any aspect of the UI is awful, particularl...

A house we stayed in recently had a nice Samsung TV on the wall However, it seemed to upscale everything in a way that made films (especially) look awful It seemed to be a combination of a much higher frame rate (which made films look like broadcast TV), and a kind of "seclective high definitio...

So apparently you don't have to be a sitting MP to be a cabinet minister. Aren't we glad that we got rid of all the supposedly unelected EU bureaucrats so we can elevate a disgraced former PM/MP to be our foreign secretary without having to bother with an election? Technically, The PM doesn't even ...

How dumb do you have to be to post screenshots of a photo rather than the photos themselves?

But I would imagine a well sorted Puma could be great fun

For a many years now I've had periods of depression and tend to have a fairly high background level of anxiety and relatively frequent panic attacks (the real, I'm about to die, run the fuck away, push the emergency stop button on a train type of thing) I prefer to put my trust in scientifically pro...

This thread has reminded me... Whenever I read about an EV and the manufacturers tell us how it has super-fast charging capabilities and could charge to 90% in 10 mins, I just kind of read it as a manufacturer saying that a petrol engine car could do 400mph* * if you could fill it with a virtually u...
