    All About Watches

    This is what the Foo posted when he initially got the watch - he had multiple posts with pics and captions such as "Good morning, gorgeous", and then this explanation as to how he acquired the watch...

    All About Watches

    In other news, over on SF, the inimitable Foo was telling everyone about how he got an amazing Patek Philippe watch that cost something like US$80,000. He got it for this 40th birthday, and was talking about it on SF for months before he got it - analysing the numerals, the hands, wondering what...

    Awful Outfits You See IRL

    Not sure about state governors, but I remember reading that JFK was the last president to wear a top hat to his inauguration. Eisenhower wore a hat, but it wasn't a top hat - perhaps it was a homburg? Anyway, JFK wore a top hat *to* to the inauguration ceremony, but he removed it during the...

    Disagreeable Menswear Post Of The Day

    That's actually pretty pimptastic, in a 1970s way. fxh would be a fan of those Cuban-heeled boots, too.

    Ridiculous Stories In The News

    As you say, some impressive work inside. The big mistake that pretty much all of these "modern castle" people make, though, is that the ceilings are too low. You shouldn't have chandeliers, exposed beams and medieval furnishings with low ceilings, as it just looks stupid.

    Ridiculous Stories In The News

    It's still there - she was just too stupid or ignorant to try to use it. (Also, it seems that a lot of sites on the dark web are now controlled by intelligence services, so she may well have been caught that way, too.)

    Legal Eagles: Current Law Case Discussion & Other Legal News

    Yes, pretty much. Or because you can cut yourself in the kitchen at home, it therefore follows that there is no need to have regulations about workplace safety, training and equipment in commercial kitchens, because injuries can happen anywhere.

    What happened today that neither pissed you off nor made you happy but is nevertheless noteworthy?

    I actually saw this happen this morning. I was in the checkout line at the supermarket and an elderly lady was in front of me. It took ages for her to finish up because she was chatting with the cashier. I didn't mind it taking a few extra minutes and, thankfully, it was early in the morning...

    How long did that take? Was it done in the US, or was it sent back to Switzerland?

    Random Style Thoughts

    Prince Charles is also a fan of the hand in the jacket pocket, with thumb out, pose. Perhaps he inherited the habit from his great-uncle? I just noticed that Prince Phillip used to do it, too:

    Domestic & International Terrorism

    Considering you can hike around, boat on and swim in a number of water reservoirs where I live here in Australia, I think it's safe to say that physical security is not great! Admittedly, water is subsequently taken from the reservoirs and then treated, before being pumped to consumers, but to...

    A Futile and Stupid Gesture: The History of the First Trump Presidency & Q-Anon

    So this doesn't directly involve Trump - it involves one of his unpleasantly obsequious supporters (who, coincidentally, was convicted of making illegal campaign donations and later pardoned by Trump). It seems that Dinesh D'Souza is suspicous about Betty White's death - but then he may have...
