Good point. Might be best to bank this one (no rhyming slang intended) before Sportscene starts -

The missus doesn't know what's just happened to make me so happy, but she already has the look of a woman who knows she's on a drunken promise tonight! -
Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

Go on, you know you want to! -
Those work well generally, but occasionally a back is on so tightly for whatever reason that two generic-shaped bits just aren't enough. I bought this three point tool recently to get the back off an old Caterpillar quartz watch that hadn't been opened for 20 years, and it did the trick nicely. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254714831645?chn=ps&_ul=GB At the end of the day, though, unless you're going to need to do this regularly and are prepared to buy a whole bunch of different tools, you'll almost certainly be cheaper in the long run just paying someone else to do the job for you.

I tried SO hard to convince myself I didn’t need one, but once again my willpower was found wanting. In the end I went for their Breguet-inspired model with the floating tourbillon, roman numerals, blued hands, and Clous de Paris dial. I’m glad I did, though, because it’s absolutely stunning and I could watch that tourbillon spin all day long. On a boringly practical note, it seems to be keeping near-perfect time too, if you like that in a watch. The lighting on my own pictures doesn’t do it justice so I’ve included a snippet from the Sugess promotional video alongside an actual Breguet for comparison.

You heartless b*****d, they can't help looking like that!

Me too. I don't know whether to make a contribution to the Society For Distressed Gentlefolk, or just boot her in the pie.

It sets a poor example, and can be very confusing for children. I mean why is the fucking hamster bigger than the fucking elephants?

Oh, I'd have been delighted, believe me, and I'll still have been smiling at kick off on Wednesday. However, the slow motion capitulation from 3-0 up against Aberdeen was genuinely bad for my mental wellbeing, and I couldn't face a potential repeat so soon. Like many on here I would never bet against my own team, but simply not watching them sometimes has its merits!

I trialled a new approach today, with some success, whereby I didn't watch the game and completely avoided all score updates and social media. Unlike the LIkely Lads, there was no intention to watch it at any later point. On checking the result at 2pm it was of course still a disappointment, and a boot in the baws to find out we'd been ahead, and were still level going in to added time, but like ripping off a plaster it was all over quickly and didn't ruin my whole afternoon/day/weekend. I realise this isn't the point of being a supporter, but I'm seriously thinking of extending the experiment to cover the whole season next year. It would have been nice to find out this May that we'd finished tenth on goal difference without having to sit through the whole "record-breaking winless streak" and "re-signing Oli fucking Shaw" sagas.
