Random musings and general banter.

Agree with you there. I don’t have a driving licence or a passport so it does cause a few problems. A while back tried to get set up electronically with my GP surgery so I could book appointments etc on line. Ended up taking my passport that expired in 1995, OAP bus pass and two utility bills before they’d authorise it. I hasten to add I’ve been a patient with them for over 50years!

Mind you if we could get digital ids, they’d probably need a copy of Driving licence or current passport to issue it!

Never had a passport.
Paper driving licence.

Even wanting to open a bank account at times requires photo ID.

Some will accept "certified" copies of paper license as proof.

Trevor has texted in! Yes our Trevor! Well amazingly he was a roofer(not only a watch collector) and he has been using this for 20 years…
I’m convinced now. Sold as seen!

I suppose it's only been made for 10 years. And how on earth can they play with paint and stuff for an hour? By that time you're fed up of watching paint dry.

If you are going to work in a suit, you would think you would remove the garden hedge

Years ago I was involved with multi-level marketing, at the training sessions I attended it was said to be clean shaven at all times, as you cannot trust a man with a beard as he's hiding something.

Another great name from the past, that did make quality audioNow just a name sadly high jacked and used on any old tat not remotely related to their heritage

Yes,a great name from the past. Hijacked? Aww come on..

If the beard gets any longer it could hide Lord Lucan and Shergar.

The sales pitch has now reached the bottom, you might say.

I doubt it Mikey boy. If they sell out I’ll run down my street naked

Its like a clone of an Earshaw...

Some poor sods are likely to get one for Valentines...

Edit - He's having what some might euphemistically call "a moment" talking about this crap.

£585 they sell for, he's having a giraffe. Move the decimal point over and its still overpriced in my mind.

Isn't Muriel's grandson a lucky lad. Hope he's getting her a walking cane.

He has just lifted that spiel about Thomas Tompion straight from Wikipedia, word for word - knob

Pamela must be a collector of shyte

Moronic has to be honest with us. He couldn’t be honest with the view if he tried. Tosser

Many of the young men in my department have what you'd call designer stubble. It suits them, and they look smart. I don't know anyone who has a beard like OftheMason these days. It makes him look like a scruffy, unkempt old man, maybe that's the look he's going for. Perhaps it's trendy and we're behind the times!

 

[Francy19]

Pamela must have more money than sense.

 

[Samki]

But Will these Tompion watches be like the lost watch in only fools and horses?

Yes, but did he say their 40 year experience was in watch making? They could be artisan bakers
