    What Are You Drinking? May 2024

    I had a rummage around my bottle stash yesterday and found not one but two bottles of Jack Daniel's Single Barrel (plus 1 bottle of JD Single Barrel Rye). According to the label it was bottled in 2020 which tallies with my last purchase of it the same year, only now it's an extra £10 per bottle...

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    I thought it pretty lame for Fury to say the win went to Usyk because of sympathy for his country being at war. You lost to the better fighter, deal with it. Jay.

    Why This Error Message?

    Well when that happens here, nothing works, trying to reconnect never solves it so I have to shut down then restart then all seems tickety-boo. Odd things are computers. Jay.

    Fury vs Usyk 🥊

    I just voted on a BBC News poll and the results thus far are Fury at 56% and Usyk 44% to win. Though not a huge fan of Fury, my guess is he'll walk it. Jay.

    Why This Error Message?

    Yup, it's probably this Cornish electricity we use down here, not quite pure enough for my Korean made laptop. Jay.

    Why This Error Message?

    Panic over, after multiple attempts over two hours my post was at last accepted. Still curious about the reason for the error message though. Jay.

    Some Folk Really Shouldn’t be Allowed to Write Product Reviews.

    Then you get the one star Scotch whisky and American bourbon reviews simply because it came without the box in the picture. Another one star review was because it arrived two days late! Disappointed item did not come with gift box shown No box In the picturs show the box, I have received only...

    Why This Error Message?

    I actually e-mailed the body of text to myself to save me typing it all out again. Very strange all the same as clearly I am able to post on this thread. Jay.

    Why This Error Message?

    Thanks for the tip Didi, I did as you suggested but for some reason I'm still getting the error message. Jay.

    Why This Error Message?

    I've been trying to post a reply to a thread but as soon as I click on 'Post Thread' I get the following error message. Oops! We ran into some problems. Please try again later. More error details may be in the browser console. I've tried rebooting my laptop but it makes no difference. Any...

    Some Folk Really Shouldn’t be Allowed to Write Product Reviews.

    I suspect there is a lot of auto correct going on there too. If only folk proof read things before hitting send. Jay.

    Some Folk Really Shouldn’t be Allowed to Write Product Reviews.

    I thought the spam review claiming it was 'free from food' to be rather good and perhaps the most honest. Regards the food blender reviews, I did actually buy that very blender and can sympathise with some of the negative reviews as it is really hard to click the top to the bottom due to the...

    Some Folk Really Shouldn’t be Allowed to Write Product Reviews.

    Whenever I'm considering a purchase I like to have a bit of foreknowledge to better help my decisions. By that I mean I like to read reviews from folk who have experience with whatever I might be considering. As I suspect with many here, I have often turned to Amazon to see what I can glean and...

    What Are You Listening To - May, 2024

    A post last week by @judcole regards Dave Brubeck reminded me of my long lost Take Five album which I loaned out years ago & never saw again.. So, I ordered it on CD and it arrived today and wow, I'd forgotten how lovely and warm his sounds are when played on a decent set up. Happy days. Jay.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Mine is the current titanium model with date and depth rating to 500m (1,640 ft). The earlier models had Rolex crowns, mine is simply stamped with the Tudor logo. Fantastic tool watches whichever the model, I'm just not impressed with the powder blue version. Jay.

    Carrington Event

    I noticed my usually very stable TV signal was glitchy over the period of about 3 days. It was as if the actual transmission was being interrupted for a few milliseconds at a time which caused the picture to 'twitch' and the sound to 'click'. I wonder if that might have been aurora related? Jay.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    I totally agree. My Seamaster 300 kind of looks cheap and tacky with its shiny blue ceramic bezel whereas my Pelagos looks more classy with its matt black ceramic bezel. Horses for courses I guess. Jay.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    I had a rummage around in my watch box and dug out an old favourite. It's a Fortis day/date chronograph on a stainless bracelet. Featuring a much modified version of the bombproof Valjoux 7750 movement, it is/was the watch of the Russian space program whereas Nasa opted for the Omega...

    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    Not to mention the belts in the cassette player itself. So many old cassette players were binned due to deterioration of the belts in the drive system and the difficulty in replacing them. When the belts age they go hard and literally fall apart and to replace them (assuming you are able to...
