Portable Tv next


Actually TV is probably the wrong thing to call it, looks like a portable Smart monitor/giant tablet on a long stand.

Yes, more like an oversized ipad

Pretty sure Mike said Jacques Du Manure was formed in 1904 - funny their website says 1993.

The story behind Jacques du Manoir

With a history going back to the early 20th century, our brand has stood as a testament to what happens when age-old traditions of Swiss watchmaking intertwine with innovation. Driven by a team of young and ambitious individuals, our brand has stood the test of time to emerge as one of the...

The 1904 is about Jacques Boegli's (founder of Jacques du manoir) grandfather (Louis Schwab), who started a totally different watch brand in 1904. Suppose it makes the history and Heritage sound better saying 1904 even though it has no connection to Jacques Du Manoir apart from the owners being related. That original brand by Louis Schwab was Swiza, still going but now doing Knives.

I prefer my iPad tbh. Can be carried about easily.

I bet you won't get any android updates for this fancy tablet on a stand.

My daughter would prefer their iPhone. Kids or young people want portable devices today. It’s like the equivalent of a huge ghetto blaster that I used to carry on my shoulder back in the 80’s

Mike just said approaching single figures, thought he said before the music break they were in single figures. Which is it Mike ???

I really enjoy reading your posts, JD - I really wouldn't let some tragic IW3 employees posting crap get to you. They're not worth it.

Never forget Billy Connolly fixing Rod with a glare after ‘Emu’ had attacked him (Emu aways seemed to go for the crotch, for some reason).
The Big Yin simply said ‘If he does that again, I’ll break his neck - and your arm’. Rod, wisely kept Emu rather quiet after that.
One of the Parkinson shows, if I remember….

A 1976 Parkinson episode.

On Ali they have 32" versions of these oversized tablets.

I think I agree with a lot of that. Always here to answer questions of a wistful nature if you feel the urge!

Do you think that TJC will buy C&C, to mirror Gemporia's HobbyCraft? I always felt that despite C&C not being part of IWHS, it had always retained the ethos and standards of the original IW1. It was a 'nice' channel. Were Vaibhav to buy it, I can imagine it going down the toilet, so in a way I hope they don't.

Oh God, the Xmas Eve story again, really Mike

 

[Jazzydrury]

Mike is just as much of a Tisser than those in the gallery

 

[Wanderer]

I feel crap bye

 

[galesgal57]

Christmas Eve breakdown story AGAIN. We know Mike, we've heard it many, many times.

 

[Francy19]

I am amazed that Mike didn’t know that the Start/Stop function on a car really drains your battery.

Sorry about this evening. But they picked on the most vunerable on here. My problem is it will stick in my thoughts

You have nothing to be sorry about.

I’m fairly new to this forum and it’s obvious that you have a lot of friends here who care about you. You should focus on that and not on what some moron who hasn’t got the brains they were born with said.
