  1. Who gives the slightest shite about Northern Ireland? Oh, right...
  2. Phew, that's not a holiday, that's an ultramarathon! Perhaps not coincidentally you'll be there for the start of the peak whale shark season, and very handily positioned for Isla Mujeres and Isla Contoi. Enjoy!!
  3. Don't miss Chichen Itza. Dive the cenotes if you can. And don't drink TOO many tamarind margaritas, they're highly addictive. (Ask me how I know )
  4. Aye, there's only one stat that really counts. 1-1 it is.
  5. I get what youo mean, but the point, such as it was, was that you don't score 4 with just 2 shots on target. xG might say 6-6, if you believe in such things, but there has to be a correction applied for the Airdrie factor.
  6. Too right, it's a cumulative thing - the more such c***s you encounter over the years, the worse it gets. If they made sidewinder missiles available as a factory-fitted option, I would be first in the queue.
  7. Peter Knowles. "God's footballer hears the voices of angels above the choir at Molineux"...
  8. As it happens I'm a nuclear scientist, not a medical doctor.
  9. As recently as Monday they were adamant she'd be back at work after Easter. (I.e. next week!) Lying, incompetent chunts.
  10. Has anybody contacted Peter Hartley for his opinion?
  11. At half time on Wednesday we were staring at a possible no-points-from-six scenario which, as it turns out, would have seen us in 10th today, just three points above Ross County. F**k THAT. parallel universe!
  12. Good point. Might be best to bank this one (no rhyming slang intended) before Sportscene starts
  13. 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!
  14. I'm not so surprised at the result: the more you looked at the option, the more ambiguous they became. However, I wasn't expecting that sort of margin between them, almost 2:1
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. You heartless b*****d, they can't help looking like that!
