I've been watching the Tour de France lately. Hearing those British announcers so much has had me thinking a lot about accents, etc.

I surely don't pronounce it like those guys would! :)

Oh...I'm sorry. Do you only prefer to talk about the really intriguing aspects of Rolex watches? Like how much the gold is in the surrounds...or how much difference in accuracy the new hairspring makes...or how to center the clasp on your wrist?

We're WIS's. Most people on this planet would think that EVERY thread on this forum is pointless. If you're annoyed by it, then don't waste your time posting. It won't bother me if you're not around much.
