    Chef Mark on with PB, selling a cordless blender, making baba ganoush, dips, etc.: "my wife likes it really thick..." I had to laugh... 😂

    Omg. I nearly puked and brought up my tea when they took off their TOPs, at the "if you want to see some more". Gross. Vulgar. Nothing like the skirt gimmick original.

    Mispronunciations I hear regularly around me (no names, no pack drill - huh? wtf does that actually mean/come from?) - Raidillon (with hard L) - coldslaw - codacodamol - simavastin - anti-mercurial - Trasar - blankmange Can't think of any more... For now...

    Thanks, nice offer, but not necessary. I might play and disassemble. Like Lee Mack on WILTY I might enjoy learning more about watch internals. I did see this once before a few years ago on a now defunct watch. Or I'll have a look and try to fix. Not even sure it's a real problem. Or I'll get...

    Oops, sorry, it is Raidillon. Named after the Raidillon curve at Spa Francochamps, apparently. They all did spell it right. My mistake.

    Geez Duke @Duke of Cheese , keep it light?! 😲 I can think of better scenarios to make fun of rendered Dead bird fat balm. Maybe the Duchamp's use it for watch oil? I bought some coconut oil a while back. Dead coconuts are preferable.

    Ahhhh, is that why it's called Dubai? Come here, do buy, please. All is now clear.

    Yes, this sounds more like it the central screw for the rotor has a screwdriver slot. No I do not have any Fixodrop. Unfortunately unlike sone of my better watches these case backs do not have those square slots for a watch back remover device to remove the rear display backs. As far. as I can...

    Things I learned tonight: - PS cannot pronounce Radillon. It is 'rad-ee-on' you muppet, not Radi-lon. The LL js pronounced as a y. - duchamp overpriced web site cannot spell: Raidillon, should be Radillon. - the watch is £94. No mention of flexipay at all by PS at some points - just...

    Enjoy your dinner: https://emujoy.com/pages/how-is-emu-oil-processed When emus are processed, a three to four inch layer of fat along the bird's back is separated and removed. First the fat is specially rendered (melted) to clean and prepare the oil for final processing. This step is very...

    No, it isn't dirt. Clean, new. Either the mechanism is too tight for the rotor to move, the spring it charges and the assembly may not be allowing the rotor to move freely. Presumably even if the spring was fully wound, the rotor should still be able to move freely. It does move and jump to...

    Wtf is Emu oil? From what part of the (dead?) emu. From its fat apparently. Webmd: Emu oil comes from the fat of a large, flightless bird called the emu. The emu is native to Australia and is now farmed in the US, Canada, and Europe. Emu oil contains chemicals called fatty acids. These...

    Brilliant. My wish is their command.. No, not me. The crew reading this forum really are taking the p!ss now, aren't they, playing along with us?! They must be big avid fans of this forum Hello guys and gals! Shame they don't act more on the feedback. e.g. PS 'only £6 on 3 flexis'. No, it's...

    Brand new. No dirt. Not jammed Rotor is bidirectional, wobbles but needs strong hand/wrist/arm movement before the rotor effectively jumps/moves in quarter movements. Either too tight or spring is stopping it moving freely. I have other automatics where the rotor smoothly freewheels from any...

    I used to like Ingersoll when, I believe, it was a real make and brand in the 70s before it went bust. Ingersoll is just a resurrected 'heritage brand' now by the Chinese.

    Agreed, well said. With the advent of email, twitter, social media too they get a lot more comms and casework, much easier to contact your MP than write and stamp and post a letter or phone call. After you filter out the nutters, repeat correspondees, etc. Suspect many MPs need the staff to...
