Jolfa Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Its always going to be a good night when you can order beer in buckets Until you realise the buckets have about 1.5pints or less in them, and <1 pint for spirits (or 1x 50ml measure) after ice, placebo woo!

Mark W Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm led to believe it's because it's the "manly" thing to drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I don't understand peoples obsession with beer (for the purposes of getting drunk). Personally i like beer, and yesterday i only wanted to have one. After i found out it is £1.30 for a pint i got some more for my friends and I Beer is there to keep your blood alcohol level on a healthy level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Drinking beer to get drunk is shit. Hit the spirits hard and roll around on the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I enjoy beer on a social level, not to get hammered. As per skoze, if I'm on for a night out, go top shelf and have a ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I recently discovered whiskey, I'm currently enjoying that in volume. Awesome, you just reminded me I have a half-empty bottle downstairs... I never used to like it but now I'm really into it, particularly good scotch...

Pashley26 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I bought my first Omega this morning. I've got to wait a couple of weeks to get it serviced before gets sent to me. But I think I'm going to be pleased with it. I spent about an hour in Goldsmiths yesterday after months of looking at an Omega Planet Ocean, but having tried it on and worn it for half an hour I just felt like it was too big. I did a bit of research and found that they made a Japanese market only Speedmaster which came with a 39mm case, and because it is 20 years old will be coming into "collectable" status. A bit of googling further and I found they sell for about $2000 private, but are very few and far between. I was over the moon (no pun intended) when I searched for the product code on eBay to see if I could find any original sales literature on them, and Japanese eBay turned up with one for just 97384.44 Japanese Yen (£500) with a day left on the auction. Put the bid in and went to sleep. I woke up this morning to find I had won an absolute minter with all original sales literature for 178631.40 Japanese Yen (£917). I phoned a friend of mine to ask if he thought I should let them service it before they sent it out or if I should ask him to do it; due to parts availability he suggest I have it serviced in Japan. Then he offered me £1500 for it if I wanted to sell it on and make a bit of money quickly, which I declined. Just cannot wait to get it now! Also I had an awesome two weeks off with my holiday wife, spent a weekend in Scotland shooting, went to the beach loads, walked the dog. Just loving it. All is good in Jardo land 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Harrison Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I bought my first Omega this morning. How many do you need? If I spent a grand on a watch (which I wouldn't, since my phone tells the time just as well) then I'd expect it to last longer than me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manuel Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Do you think you could tell if it was a good fake? (Genuinely curious, as if it is and you don't know - you still have an omega?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Nice that is Jarhead, my dad owns a really nice 1956 Omega seamaster with original papers and box which is pretty bad ass aswell as a few others that aren't quite as old. Strangely enough my dad has a lot of success buying from Greece for some reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it is hard to tell something like this from a very good fake, because it isn't something ,any people would have seen. I imagine the movement will be immediately distinguishable from a fake though. Nice that is Jarhead, my dad owns a really nice 1956 Omega seamaster with original papers and box which is pretty bad ass aswell as a few others that aren't quite as old. Strangely enough my dad has a lot of success buying from Greece for some reason? Thanks man. I would love a speedmaster that early, maybe I will look at buying from Greece? Any chance you can get some pictures? I'd like to see something that early in detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greetings Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Been offline for a few weeks now but progress is good and I'm almost finished Funny how it was supposed to take a week 1 month ago. Wish I had some before pictures. Especially proud of the new window sill which now completely hides a big pipe and has led lighting underneath (warm white, turquoise to cameras apparently). Will be making new furniture for the whole room but that will take another 2 months probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy my dad knows through work collects a lot of old Omega stuff, no idea what he's got but I know he's got 50+ genuine items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Strangely enough my dad has a lot of success buying from Greece for some reason? Could be a result of their economy entirely shitting the bed, but unlike here the middle classes took a battering so it could be people offloading stuff to make money quickly?
