    Thanks I did :D.

    One thing: I dunno, I can appreciate Rolex, I really can. Without them the popularity of the wristwatch would have been delayed for ten years anyway. But they just don't do it for me. At all. :confused: It's not the wide boy, Arthur Daly(for our older viewers) connotation, it's their designs(and their internals with a few notable exceptions are pretty mundane, bordering on crap).

    Funny enough the film made the link with Porsche. I can't stand Porsches either. Again I can see how bloody brilliant they are, but I just don't feel the love. Ferraris are, or were glorified Fiats and would either rust away, brake down or simply not go very fast, but in my guts I would want one. I have the same about Pink Floyd and Angelina Jolie. Can understand why others do, but don't feel it.

    Put it another way, if I ever find a Rolex daytona in the attic one of ye is gonna get one helluva bargain :D Bedlam will get first dibs, mod perks an all that.... :pac:

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Thanks for posting that; I last watched it a while back and it's interesting to re-visit as this illness progresses. The program captures the compulsiveness of our obsession very articulately and the difference for me is that I have developed an interest in Rolex since watching it the last time (sorry Wibbs). Having said this I still don't see how they can compare a Peruvian Daytona with the other jewel-encrusted tat.

    Jayzuz CB you'll never guess what I found in the attic and it appears to be a chrono.... :)

    I'm tired of living like a schnook. I'm going to give Henry Dent-Brocklehurst a ring and invite myself around to his gaff.
