maybe you could take alook at any of the many threads on this forum relating to the subject /"term of endearment" rather than simply googling it y'w****r!!
Thanks you tosser! I just joined the forum yesterday too!

That flash light cannot be considered a tool, it is far to shiny. You should make it a safe queen.

Don't be unfriendly

Hey guys,

In the early 90s it was difficult to get a job over here so I became a milk delivery guy (yeah yeah)

In those days I used to deliver daily to a place where they ship cars for car shows.
I was shown the (then) new S class by Benz and also a Ferrari 456GT, I was really into cars then and I knew i'd never seen it before.

I also had a flight in a Huey chopper for a 12 pack of Egg-Nogg with US Marines those days (Yeah, never forget the woosh-woosh and the Cigar Colonel)

I've been drinking with jet fighter airmen from all nationalities and even got them to wear orange wooden shoes during Worldchampionship soccer (only the germans didn't want to be on photo with the "klompen")
Even Blue Angels wore these wooden shoes, I believe the guys on the picture were Patrouille de France and Turkish National Airshow team.




A lot of strange things can occur in a day, I believe this guy

Jack

Still a couple of pages left.

I would like to add, as someone who has actually worked at the Rolex Future Design Department, that ceramic is out, plastic is back. No better material for the real tool watch. And I have the pic to prove it.

OK so here it is. I will be the one to let the cat out of the bag.

I visited the Rolex factory myself and you never would guess what I saw?

I saw machines moving around like crazy you know robots and 100's of watches being pumped out every min to meet the quota of 1 million watches per year. I had not seen a single person not even a peep. Just a bunch of machines/robots moving around like mad.
