Random musings and general banter.

Do we think the sold out ( Twice ) felt tip pens will be back at tat/crap hours of 6 to 10

Turned TV on again and TV Mum is selling loose summer trousers. I'm pretty sure she said "these are the sort of thing you see in the markets when you're on holiday but they PHENOMENALLY expensive, around £40-£50"

I'd love to know what market stall sells stuff at that price.

The other day Saint Sally was selling frumpy tops and skirts, some plain and some patterned.

She imparted the following advice. If you wear the patterned top you need to wear plain trousers with it.

Thank goodness Ideal world employ fashion experts to advise us as I would never have thought of that

That rent a bedspread stuff on her ‘clothes’ rail was typical of what my then wife took home on her’s after another unsuccessful car boot sale selling at Milton Keynes Hospital in the early 1990s. The irony is she actually sees herself as some sort of fashion guru. I see her more as an expert on toilet rolls. Both selling and using.

It is if you're the wee guy and you've just beaten the World Champions at their Wembley home, a team who had been undefeated for a couple of years. 15th April 1967 will forever be known for Scotland being crowned the Unofficial World Champions. As they say on IW "bragging rights" were won that day.

PS

As well as becoming unofficial World Champions, we lifted this trophy for winning the Home Internationals tournament, which was also the first qualifying match for the 1968 European Championships. So was quite an important match to win.

Yes, that Scots team never really reached its peak with the likes of Dennis Law, wee Jimmy Johnson, Jim Baxter & Co. By the time they reached Germany in 1974 they were over the top.

That black and grey top looks as if it’s 9 monthes pregnant and that’s on the hanger with no one inside it
Doesn’t look any better on the styrofoam model

Batteries…Oh God…More things you last craved for when your Sony Walkman was out of power…Get that decorating table a rockin’, Boy… You have a lot more where that came from to put back in the Nova round the back later…Stock is flying out the door….Like a TWA 747 in a museum hangar it is…

Don't you dare knock batteries. We need them for the transmitter for the Nikko radio controlled car. And the knock off Gameboy.

 

[Duke of Cheese]

Never have I witnessed such a parade of tat on a long-term basis..

Having a conversation with himself now…Hmm…

Our Bet probably needs them for her "fun time" toys that she shares with Pedro.

Mum’s 1970s’ sunglasses next. Quite suits him really.

Mike plugging a watch for Saturday, Christoph Duchamp Radillion, starts off saying it's Swiss made, then a few seconds later became Swiss Design. Probably realised that Swiss made watches aren't usually assembled in the Far East with Seiko NH movements in them.

Those pictures…One free plus 7/6d postage with six OMO tops.

Yes I noticed this and he also described it as quartz at one point. Not bad for someone who "knows" his watches

 

[Duke of Cheese]

He isn’t wearing a Hichael Munt either this evening.

Our Bet.

My God…that awful clock…You wouldn’t p…on it if it was on fire…

He knows very little, I've never heard him say anything that would suggest he "knows" about watches, the only things he says is, big, heavy, looks sexy, looks great on the wrist, it's Swiss made (of course if Swiss made ain't on the dial he won't know the origin), will give you bragging rights, folks will ask you about it, it's been to space, got a an atom sized piece of mars in it, it's a 4 figure watch etc. I've yet to hear him say ANYTHING technical about any watch or movement they sell. Same goes for the rest of them.

Pick of The Day: Six Garden Flame Solar LED lights…£19.99… Very average price. Many similar sets around the £20 mark. I’m not trying worry you, terrify you, or water torture you…Just some neighbourly advice from the music-feeling Old Bald Fella….The Day in Question was an incredibly mediocre one.
