Bape

Bape. That stands for Bathing Ape. Don’t you know anything?

Death list misery

Here we are at the end of May and only Michael Foot has done the decent thing and shuffled off his mortal coil. I’ve reviewed all of my candidates and the only news I could find about an immanent demise is that Ronnie Biggs was taken to hospital a couple of days ago, with chest [...]

Omega news

Well, my second Omega Speedmaster has also been consigned to a warranty repair at Omega’s labs, this time returned by the very helpful Ross at Laings in Frederick Street.

The trouble is that if a politician, public official or businessman is caught indulging in a similar form of corruption, we – the voters, the public or share holders can kick up a stink [...]

G-Shocked!

I’ve bought three watches this week. I feel like this…

Which is sort of happy and arm-wavey! Also my ears are erect!
