Why Am I So Impolite?
Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not your friend.

“It Was The Best Of Displays, It Was The Worst of Displays”
On one extreme is the smallest digital display of any G-SHOCK, and on the other is arguably the best display of any G-SHOCK; and I love them both. The DW-5900-1 is a classic, a re-issue of the DW-5900C originally released in 1992 and made popular as the “Walter”, worn by John Goodman in “The Big
Official Statement
Statement of John Edwards Regarding the Nomination, Rejection, and Nomination of Aidan Halpin for the 2024 Softball Leinster Committee The last time we were here, a motion of “no confidence” was submitted, and voted on, which resulted in the rejection of Aidan Halpin’s nomination for committee chair. The reasons for this motion were ridiculous: because
1979 Motobécane Mixte, Refreshed [SOLD]
When a nice little bike ends up available to you, that you can save from the skip, you don’t ask too many questions. As the saying goes, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” It needed a bit of work, but I had the tools, ability, and time — a perfect match! The guy
A 1000m Diver? The Addiesdive MY-H6 “Puck” Homage is a Winner.

If anyone thinks it’s about winning… winning what? We’re hitting a ball and running around. We (players) find it fun, but the “trick” is
Fighting The Hoarder Instinct
There is no end to the interesting things you learn about yourself from your parents. For example, my father did not get rid of / recycle television sets. Or telephones. Or computer keyboards. (In hindsight, I should have saved some of those old bakelite rotary phones and put them on eBay. Oh well.) Apparently, there
Handwriting (Sort Of) Analysis: What’s Really Going On Here?
As the end of this season approaches, and the “annual general meeting” is slated for some time in November, there is a good chance all these people will be reinstated in some position of authority, and I do not want anyone to say “I wasn’t aware of that” afterwards… so here I am again. A
Another Steeldive: Already Good, Now Improved.
Steeldive is renowned for making great value homages to vintage Seikos. Of course, there are bound to be one or two areas where they fall short, and with the SD-1975 model that homages the Seiko “Tuna”, the glaring shortcoming is the dial. The Steeldive’s dial – pretty as it is, especially in this orange version
