Windy here today. Hot air in abundance, too. Maybe they will have some fans and air fresheners on this afternoon. Those cheap perfumes might help freshen it up a bit.

Wouldn't read too much into the limited edition, brands like Swan & Edgar, nubeo, Rgmt, Shield etc all are mostly limited edition, and it's not because they want to create some rare time pieces, it because they aren't watchmakers themselves and need to buy in their watches from suppliers in China, and it's - the purchasing system, how much they can physically stock/buy (afford) and how many they can sell, which is the big factors in having limited editions. Limited/Special editions is really just marketing. The watches themselves ain't nothing special quality wise, they're just big and chunky with a storyline attached to them (not like any of the astronauts actually wears a Nubeo watch or the watches were even in space), so let's make them limited/special editions instead.

I know Mason and Bordell, were flogging a Nubeo that claimed to be up in space, but it was in a weather balloon, high altitude yes, but many miles from where Space actually begins.

If you're ranking watches on IW, IMO from worst to best, although wouldn't buy any of them even from another retailer.

Genoa
Majestic (or whatever they're called), Laura Ashley.
Ben Sherman
Aviator/Gant/Versus
Henry London (not expensive but like their style)/Maserati
William Hunt/Swan & Edgar/Gamages/Mann Egerton
Jowissa
Resultco brands (Shield, Heritor etc),
Solar Time Brands (Nubeo, RGMT etc)
Duchump (I know , shockingly the chumps are the best quality, but shame they're also a bunch of shysters which makes them an absolute no, no when it comes to considering buying, go for the original instead at better prices, ******, look i didn't mention them. )

Geez. £60 for a microwave grill pan!

You can buy a whole microwave oven for that!

And a new eau de "toilet" called Humble.

They're taking the p!ss, after Gammon, etc.

Ok, the Humble EDT is only £10, it's the sort (Humble, by Laghmani London) of type you'd get for a £1 in Poundland.

And just seen £250 (yes, really) for a 6L 1700W airfryer, but, get this, it rotates on a sort of gimbal.

For £250 I'd expect it to fly, make dinner itself and lay the table.

Hello Everyone, First Post so be kind.

Im off to University in September, But I watch some Shopping TV as Im Curious.

My main point well my first Point is the Fashion, I wouldnt wear any of it, To Old Fashioned and Frumpy, I like Oversized clothes, but not something, that resembles a tent me and my friends stayed in at Glastonbury the other weekend.

I did purchase the neck fans last night, following on from having a glass of wine, they may do me if we get any summer, If not they will see the bin.

Like I say my first post, so be kind, If it rains later, I may stay in and have my say on Peter this evening.

Just noticed im a typical Uni Student, who cant spell her name

The Nubeo Apollo watches that Mike had single figures of this morning are back later. Pedro spouting claptrap about the moon landings in that over flowery way he has of describing things.Also Peter, the Shambles are in York, not Barcelona. Think you mean Lad Ramblas.
