Trump never believed for a second that he won the election. And I suspect that most of his supporters don’t either. It’s just a prop to justify their actions.
I was in Texas 18 months ago for work and had som […]

Class! I recall having one for years where the second hand was a spider circling the watch.

Thanks all for the response. This is still very raw for me, as he only died six weeks ago. Over these past 20 years we had become best friends more-so than father/son, and we spoke or saw each other pretty much […]

I remember those! My maths teacher had one in primary school, and the whole class lined up to look at it. It was the first digital watch I ever saw.
Perhaps you would be interested in this? A €300,000 watch w […]

If you want accuracy, a $100 quartz watch will beat a $100,000 mechanical watch very day. I think they can gain/lose 4 or 5 seconds per day and still get the top certification.

My 15yo son is now fascinated by all things watch after watching (ta dum!) a few Youtube clips with me. They appeal to his fastidious, mechanical mind. His generation don’t use watches, so, and he had never owned […]

For the last few weeks I’ve been wearing a lovely watch: a Tudor Oyster Prince from 1961 with the coveted large rose on the dial. I haven’t worn a watch since my veterinary days ended 15 or so years ago. Back then […]

I think the dumbing down of Australian universities is evidenced by me working my arse off in my undergrad degree from 89-93 and getting a GPA of 5.6 (5=credit, 6=distinction, 7=high distinction), which was enough […]

The hardest exams I ever sat were multiple choice physiology exams, and this was in a degree with 95 100%-of-assessment exams over 5 years (and just one assignment!).
First, the 5 choices were very technical and […]

Came to say exactly this. In a stable electrical environment (e.g excluding a lightning strike), a blown fuse is usually a symptom of an underlying issue with the device. I learnt the hard way with many a valve […]

I’m with you, HP. My lasting memory is of them trying to ignite the crowd at Live Aid with a version of ‘Revolution’ and failing spectacularly.
