I only popped on here to look at the jeans.

Newbie here, so hopefully nobody offended by this one.

Sister Mary entered the Monastery of Silence. The Abbot said, “ sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until I direct you to do so.”
Sister Mary lived in the monastery for 5 years before the abbot said to her, “ Sister Mary, you have been here for 5 years. You can speak two words.
Sister Mary said, “Hard bed.”
“Im sorry to hear that” the Abbot said, “we’ll get you a better bed.”
After 5 more years, Sister Mary was called by the Abbot. “ You may say another 2 words Sister”.
“ Cold food”, said Sister Mary. The Abbot assured her the food would be better in future.
On her 15th anniversary, the Abbot again called Sister Mary into his office. “ You may say 2 words today”.
“ I quit” said Sister Mary.
“It’s probably for the best” said the Abbot, “ you’ve done fuck all but moan since you’ve been here”.

A husband takes his wife to a disco.
There’s a guy on the dance giving it large - break dancing, moonwalking, back flips, the works.

The wife turns to her husband and says “ see that guy? 25 years ago he proposed to me and I turned him down.”

Husband says “ looks like he’s still fucking celebrating!”

I recently replaced the leather strap with a bracelet on my 15 year old Railmaster. It’s changed the whole look of the watch and I love it.

@HalfPastNever if you still have tags on it and it’s within 30 days of purchase then any decent retailer should offer a refund or exchange.

I own the jacket in olive and love it, but my collar is perfect. Just looks like this one slipped through QC.

I don’t know if the IH team can offer any further guidance?

WTF just happened in Washington??? Unbelievable end to the game.

@goosehd salt, vinegar and chip shop curry sauce! Food of the Gods.

I can barely discuss this subject without raging at the self inflicted stupidity of it all. Some of the rationale from people was bewildering.
Some treated it as a protest vote , without giving a second’s thought for the impact that it would have.
Elderly people who had rose tinted memories of a country that no longer exists, and would never live long enough to see their perceived benefits of brexit. Their grandchildren will pay a high price for their shortsightedness.
People who blamed ‘foreigners’ for taking their jobs, even though they don’t want to do the jobs themselves. They have no interest in picking fruit, or working in hospitality, or working in hospitals or in the care system, and are now shocked that pubs are closing, food prices are through the roof and they can’t get a doctor’s or hospital appointment.
And the stupidity of believing in some of the biggest charlatans in UK politics in my lifetime.
I could go on but would be banned from the forum if I said more.

@Crispy-Heron if it’s not a ball throwing device, then it will have shrank considerably in this weather!

@Danny-RnH my musical hero too

@Mizmazzle did you let the Cardinals fan into the house?

@Nocturama I was just reading the other day that the guy on the cover is Bobby Gillespie’s father. He looks pretty cool.

@goosehd thank you. I have been on the Andersen Andersen thread on here and taking on board all of the accumulated knowledge and feedback. This forum is a much appreciated resource.

@goosehd that’s a great fit and the colour suits you. How did you size it compared to IH?
I’m definitely buying an AA sweater, and have narrowed it down to three!

@Mizmazzle I never bet on any sports team I like either, in case I jinx them. It tends to be stressful enough watching them without the worry of losing cash at the same time!

@SKT thank you, although in my case, more luck than judgment!

@Jett129 thanks again for the write up.

Despite their terrible record playing on Thanksgiving, I’ll stick with Detroit to beat da Bears. Chicago keep finding new ways to lose, but I hope they give Williams time, as he looks to have lots of potential, and is getting better.

Congratulations to @Mizmazzle and good luck to you for the weekend. I’m only in this pool for a bit of fun whereas I know the Broncos are your team so fingers crossed they get the win.

@ddtrash They are great for servicing too. I needed a service on an Omega, and also wanted to replace the strap with a bracelet. The bracelet was £600. When I picked up the watch, they advised that Omega hadn’t invoiced them for the bracelet, so they wouldn’t charge me. They could easily have done so. Really good people.

@ddtrash was that Pragnells that you visited? I bought my last watch from them and found them very good to deal with.
