Where would a good place to get it serviced? It's got a Smiths movement. I had a look near me (Nottingham) but would prefer a recommendation

The answer was wind it a bit more and shake it a little. I was a bit worried about breaking it. Cheers.

Edit. It only seems to tick nicely when it flat on the desk. Is this something I can fix?

Is there a trick to getting manual watches going? I had one posted to me that the seller claimed was working but I've would it a little bit and it hasn't started ticking

Thanks. I'm off to the shop for some crumpets.

Would be tough cutting the spiral and maintaining structural integrity with all those holes. It would be an exercise in precision.

Reading about toasters it seems the newer dualit models take into account toaster temperature to ensure the second round of toast is cooked to the same toastedness. This appeals to me.

The instructions for a classic also mention heating up the toaster first to reduce uneven toasting. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I need a new toaster after an incident involving a small fire. Does a Dualit classic fit a Warburtons crumpet?

I hope they play better than the other day against Worcestershire.

I missed the bidding anyway cheers. Too many beers in the sun.

I like this on ebay at the minute. What should I look out for when buying old watches like this?

Maybe just Google scripts? Maybe check if the column has a date and run something like the below?

Zapier is most useful for stringing together stuff on different systems.

I'd guess this is something your could do with an automation helper type thingy. Maybe zapier? Or IFTT?

What are some of the shoe brands I should look out for in TK Max?

I tried on a mega the other day while visiting to try the handwinding. It was nice. If would have been tempted if I wasn't specifically in for something else.

I initially was trying to grab a Gshock solar model but they only had the negative display version of the one I wanted. The ref is BN0118-04E. Its the closest to the 'Ray mears' that you can buy today, I think. I used to have a very similar looking one but this has a titanium monoblok case and sapphire crystal, rather than stainless and regular. If it had radio time control it would be perfect.

I think it's a fine reason. Get it engraved with whatever the translation of 'short back and sides' is.

A present for a Haircut?! I didn't really read the rest of the sentence first. Well done, getting a haircut in the UK in English (my native language) gives me anxiety. That dial is dead nice.

Judging by the angle of the shadows. Maybe closer to 12.30

Good spot. Or did you see it before I'd corrected?

First time playing. Picked this up at the airport on the way to my stag do as I hadn't packed a watch.

Get one of those buffering wheels.

I'm not entirely sure he would carry a pen knife either.

Can I be your best man?

I think I'd like to buy a knife a a gift for my best man. If you were my best man would you prefer a kitchen or pocket knife? I know that he hasn't got a decent kitchen knife, but a pocket knife seems more sentimental.

Does anyone have an suggestions for a reading for a wedding? Non-religious and funny/amusing.

Well that was shit.
