    I used them to buy my Omega from a dealer in Monaco (Tax free ) sales was perfect and in good time. Must admit I was a little nervous spending that sort of money over the web but all went well. I do not have any experience of returns so cannot comment. Hope this helps

    I have had a mail from WOS in the city that my long wait (almost 2 years) for a new Sub could be over by end of the month. I love the simplicity of it and above all else the Rolex subs do "really good metal" as the finish is 2nd to none. Once I have it then I will be chasing the Tag Monaco calibre 11 and that might be the ned of my watch collecting (although I do also fancy a Breitling heritage super ocean 42 - Green bezel, black face) My wife might stop complaining then

    Try Chrono24 and put in the make, model, year and condition and you can find a similar one to find a rough valuation https://www.chrono24.com/omega/speedmaster--mod74.htm?dosearch=true&query=Omega+Speedmaster&goal_suggest=1

    First venture into the world of Rolex and have my heart set on a Submariner Date - Black face. Current RRP is £6250 yet on Chrono24 they are already going for above that. I have had Watches of Switzerland commit to getting me one at RRP - they have had to order it in though ! Currently have Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Golf Edition - love it
  7. Are they made of paper? Or maybe the French team have very long pointy nails?
  8. Hi Just wondered if any of the seasoned trippers on here had so ideas / places to see etc
  9. Agreed over the sound quality - saw Elvis Costello there last week and he was brilliant Talk about artists still doing well over 30 years on - they guy is a brilliant writer / musician and all round entertainer Going to gary Numan again this week - cant wait
  10. I go once a year to Okehampton in Devon for a golfing weekend - last year the town was particulary busier than normal - when i asked a local he said that a "famous" white stag had been seen on the moors and there was a £10k on its head - and the hunters from far and wide, including overseas had come for it. FFS a magnificent animal like this and all people want to do is kill it and mount its head!
  11. That's some serious Numanoid devotion. I've seen a few bands multiple times, but nowhere near that kind of level. Out of interest, have they all been "top gigs", or were some just kind of, like with football, just going out of habit? Can anyone stay consistent, musically, over 30+ years and remain at a high level? Some were more special than others but in the main it was whenever he was on i would go. In 1983 he did a 22 date UK tour and me and a pal went to 17 of them. Interstingly in 1981 i saw him fill wembley arena 3 nights on the run compared to gigs i have seen where he has struggled to fill 1000 places in poxy venues. His new album Dead Son Rising is a far cry from his original cars stuff, in fact he is getting huge appraisals for his new stuff and lots of big artsists are now name checking him for his pioneering stuff in the 80's. His music has changed almost every album - late 80's to early 90's 90's it was at its lowest as he in his own words "lost his way" since 96 he has found the sounds he was looking for (mainly from issues within his personal life) and he has now developing a real industrial rock theme and personally i think it works brilliantly. As for devotion i met a guy i had not seen for years at leamington and it was his 105th show!!!
  12. Your perception certainly changes when you had kids of your own. Again if my son came home with her i would be chuffed and would make her very welcome - but i am sure his Mother would be appalled. Now if my 17 year old daughter came home with a 32 year old man i would be mopping both of their blood losses up off the floor It usually is a case of rich older men with younger women as they are as much a trinket as the Ferrari and designer clothes - not many people bat an eyelid as it is assumed both are getting out of it what they want I have a friend who is 38 and his wife is 54 - he had a real rouhg time when they first dated from almost every quarter - strange one this perception thing
  13. Imagine being 17 and let loose on that Lordy lordy
  14. Numan at Leamington (my 44th show in 33 years) Too many pre conceived ideas about one of the best perfromers around Absolutley love him (but not in a bottom touching way)
  15. Unlike the Evangalists and other proclaimed religious organisations One mans preacher is another mans lunatic?
  16. Lets face it in time gone by religious zealots used to sacrifice women and new born children They are not going to give a shit about a goat or sheep are they in their devotion to God (whichever one they follow)
  17. I often like many have to go to the dentist. If i have to have a tooth extracted / serous work done then i have a localised injection to numb the pain - this works very well.I am glad that it does as to have a tooth extracted without pain relief would be beyond my threshold. So is it more humane to stun into unconsciousness an animal prior to killing it rather than cutting its throat whilst fully awake? I think the answer is pretty conclusive - yes
  18. I am not religious in the slightest but i consider it ironic that they kill one of their Gods creatures in his name If there is a God then i am sure he would not mind one of his creatures not suffering for him and a humane way of slaughtering an animal would be acceptable
  19. It is alledged that the reasoning behind the name calling of "Sheep shaggers" to our Welsh friends was explained to me a while ago - not sure if true though Apparantly many years ago it was a crime punishable by death to be found stealing sheep. A clever rustler when knowing he would be apprehended dropped his trousers and claimed that he was actually having sex with the animal. Albeit socially less acceptable (by some margin) it did not carry the death penalty but a relatively short jail sentance so it became a common ruse to escape hanging. Maybe they are just konder to their animals than we are
  20. I Have smoked for 32 years and have tried to quit many times previously - i am now on my 6th week and today due to a culmination of things had a fag - initially it felt wonderful and relieved the stress - now i just feel like shit and most importantly felt that the whole 6 weeks of quitting was a waste of time. Ever since that one this morning all i have thought about is another. Its really sad how addictive they are (those that have never smoked or quit easily do not know how lucky you are) I have reduced the size of patch this week and due to lots of shit at work and at home it all got too much today I am determined to do it but i actually enjoyed smoking - it was the health of my body and my wallet that has made this choice If i could honestly regulate myself to "only when i drink / go out etc" then i would continue - but i know after a couple i would be back to 20+ per day I sympathise with anyone trying to do it - it is and can be bloody murder at times
  21. The problem as i see it is that everyone knows we wanted Bellamy (whether he ever considered coming is another thing) but we certainly made enough noises about wanting him. You know what precious **** these modern day players are - will whoever we go after not now feel like second best? How can the club / DOL honestly state that this was his target all along and be convincing enough?
