PICK AND MIX QUALITY STREET TINS

you could probably make a decent explanation of what a social construct is entirely through an analogy involving orks from WH40K

"da girl onez like pink"

what happens is that everyone goes "weeeyyyy! bank holiday!" and then goes quiet when the fact that we've got King Charles now sinks in

youtube is currently suggesting me a load of videos about "what happens when the queen dies"

I wonder what they know that I don't

Also the new versions of the Seiko SKX have filtered out to the shops now, 'bout £250, look pretty damn good in the metal

saw a rather nice looking Rolex GMT Master II (16710BLRO) for sale in a local jewellers

if anyone happens to want to give me about 10 grand or so to buy it I'm sure I wouldn't complain too much...

Guy's also got videos on how to use a watch as a compass (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWCxsk0hZRM) and how to use a watch/clock/timing instrumenty thing to work out your longitude (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3a_04ZyRJE) which are really cool

Ever looked at a Navitimer or other watch with a pilot's bezel and wondered how anyone uses that funky thing?

Here's how you use the funky thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuK_77DEUfw

Also the Seiko manual for their watches with pilot's bezels is pretty good: https://storage.seikowatches.com/production/files/2018/03/20/143405391654/pdf/rt01_e.pdf

Bond didn't even wear an Omega in that film, why the fuck are they doing a special edition for the 50th anniversary of that one?

Omega have announced a special edition Seamaster for the... 50th anniversary of the release of the 7th (and worst) Bond film

Hey Omega, you know you don't have to release a special edition for every fucking thing you think of don't you?

possible usage: "I had a roomba through the documentation, think I know how it works now"

"x just roomba'd through the parts drawers, they found a bunch of useful stuff"

"roomba" is now a verb
