To me this thread has always been about escaspism.

It’s not when people are at others throats

Well if DOC could stop calling me Peter / accusing me of having of having multiple user names I'm sure we would all get along better.

I totally accept he has a fan club here.

What a cad Of-the-Masons is.

His natural home would be at the back of a caravan in the wild west selling some "miracle" cure and then scarpering before he's found out.

The claims for Emu Balm are getting wilder - arthritis, Crones, IBS, joint problems, all sorts.
"It's like getting a new pair of legs".

Awful

I have a new theme for him -

Joy, Friday and its Jack DuManure Swizz watches.

Mike - "Obviously I have to be careful to not sound like I am hurrying you, rushing you or pressurizing you.

You've got to be quick though."

So what's the above then?

Edit -

As of 2017, new regulations were implemented to define a Swiss made watch, the criteria enabling a more precisely traced geographic origin. With the Swiss-made label held in such high regard, it is important to have standards that define what exactly Swiss-made means:

PRODUCTION: At least 60% of the production costs of a watch taken as a whole must be Swiss-based

MOVEMENT: The movement must contain at least 60% Swiss-made components in value (not quantity)

DEVELOPMENT: The technical development of a Swiss-made watch and movement must be carried out in Switzerland

So not entirely made in Switzerland then Mike?

And a £15 movement which might be Swiss or Swiss parts assembled elsewhere. Yes great quality, Mike

Did I just hear a reference to Kelly as a Wiggler?

I haven't watched Eastenders for years now. I used to, can't remember why I stopped. I've been out for a meal with a friend and had 3 gasss of wine. And I'm working tomorrow. Working from home though with no meetings so I can stay in my pyjamas all day if I wish.

It's awful when soaps kill off a nice character, I think that's why I stopped watching.

I think the quality of the writing was much better years ago. Like you, I stopped watching EastEnders years ago, because they seemed to be using the same old stories over and over, just giving them to different characters. I think they ran out of ideas & steam. When I've watched a couple of the 1980's episodes most of the actors were much better, and the dialogue too.

Yes. Happy days indeed….

I always wondered what happened to Minnie Caldwell's cat! Didn't realise that it now lived on her chin!

He looks incredibly lithe and supple to me. And hardly somebody who is encountering chronic knee problems as I am. Looking at those videos, he also seems to have a very large garden and looks like he employs a roller (Woody or Eric?) for the lawn. No rattan for him.

...looks like he employs a roller (Woody or Eric?) for the lawn

My mind is boggling as to what they would be doing on the lawn....but perhaps I won't go there. I prefer to remember them in those far-off days of innocence when their tartan trousers ended somewhere around their knees and their hair looked like a very large pine cone.

It's quite easy for some unscrupulous brands to abuse the Swiss Made regs.

The unscrupulous, will ship a Chinese made case, dial, hands bracelet, crystal with for example say a Chinese ebauche (un-assembled) ST16 movement to a watchmaker in Switzerland, change a few parts on the movement with Swiss made parts (these few parts can cost more than the rest of the movement), assemble and hey presto you have a watch that qualifies a Swiss Made. While assembled in Switzerland, the only parts of that watch that are actually Made In Switzerland is a few parts on the movement.

Trevor’s in for the tools..so he can bury his watch collection

Wonder what archaeologists will make of that in a few hundred years time?

 

[Battiola73]

Seems it's gonna be shown again. https://www.hellomagazine.com/film/741171/bbc-show-eldorado-to-return-to-screens/ Can't believe it is over 30 years since it was on though.

Never watched it. Anyone remember Triangle set on a North Sea ferry? It was like a marine version of Crossroads.

I can just imagine Rod Hull and Emu being guest presenters with Moronic Mike! Hopefully he’d do to MM the same as he did to Michael Parkinson.

My late father always used to say there’s only so many plots a soap can have. He always reckoned they were on a rota amongst the different soaps.
