I watched Fantabulosa again this evening. Michael Sheen is astonishing as Kenny Williams. He lives and breaths the part. How he managed to flare his nostrils I have no idea. You can tell it’s a quality programme, from the first scene. Kenny walks into his flat. Farts. “Two whiffs of that and you’re greedy.” I’ve [...] This is a white faced Explorer II Rolex. It features the same 3186 calibre as the GMT II and is therefore supremely accurate. On the downside the bezel is fixed. On the upside it is over £1,000 cheaper.

The lovely people at NetGear, have replaced my defective gigabit switch promptly, without fuss or question.
