I know I've said this before but H P Baxxter looks disconcertingly similar to John Barrowman

apologies to those working in NHS sexual health clinics for whom giving them the clap brings back unwanted memories

a small bit of my brain keeps reading acnh as assassin's creed new horizons and imagining Isabelle leaping from a rooftop to stab Tom Nook

@mavica lots of little usb battery packs in your handbag to hand out for snacks

@mavica the commodore is keeping up with you

run faster

you must run away from the commodore

it has a knife!

@mavica @jk best soundtrack to seeing sheep

@mavica I want mavi in my village

@wigglytuffitout it's literally just a tube

music is just wibbly air, and it takes less energy to make the smaller amount of air in the tube wibbly than it would to make all the air in the room wibbly

@mavica BOING BOING BOING

@mavica aaaaaaaa

@DeltaFlood unfortunately the other side of the family got that

we've been considering getting our own to pass down

@evie april 20th eh?

@tom I'm aware of the definition of the word "degloving" which is why I avoid them (no, you don't want to know, don't look it up)

But so long as you take them off before you wash your hands and put them back on after it should be fine

For a steel bracelet, you can use the bowl of soapy water

For leather, use a slightly damp cloth with a small amount of gentle soap, then go over it again with just a damp cloth to remove the soap

You can additionally use some leather conditioner

For a fabric strap (NATO, ZULU, etc.) you can just sling them in the washing machine with your regular laundry

@tom yeah, the rings especially is a good idea

If your watch is decently waterproof (marked 50M or better) then you'll want a small bowl of hot water with dish soap in it and a soft toothbrush, if you don't know what to do with that setup then god help you

If your watch isn't, then clean it with a slightly damp cloth with a small amount gentle soap, using a toothbrush to get at the fiddly bits

Now we want to clean the strap

As apparently the resident watch nerd in this corner of the 'verse, here's how to clean your watch properly

It's on your wrist, it's gonna get gunk on it, if you don't clean it occasionally it's a goddamn petri dish

I'm assuming that none of us are loaded enough to own gold, silver, or gem encrusted watches, if you are then get your butler to do it

For a start, if you can, remove the strap from your watch
