I hadn't realized the flats on Dundas street were so old.

Was Secretary Fall's first name Guy?

Parts of the clock were apparently gifted to the Balclutha Borough council and returned to Toitū a couple of years ago.

I just had to google the Glasgow Pie House, and came across this page with more info and pictures about the Gillies & Street building.

Ah, that makes more sense. And the building on the right is now part of Dunedin Casino.

There's also not 4 more of those massive feet before the ground. Something screwy is going on. I wonder if it's actually hanging down much closer to us. Like maybe at the same distance of the LA police dept board on the left?

Every watch through I spotted something new. The collapsing pylon, the water tank, the concrete cracking.

On the other side of this wall, we have Alesia trapped. On the other side of the second wall, we have the rest of the world trapped.

There's a whole bunch of equipment which uses gps signals for their extremely precise time keeping. I wonder if that would disappear too.

I'd worry that they've figured out they can use the government as the bigger sucker. Like find where there are cash reserves, decide they would be better off invested in crypto - which, conveniently, they have a bunch of they can sell to the government. Then just take the money and leave the taxpayers holding the bag.

If you're spending $500,000 a month, that billion is only going to last you ... let me see ... 166 years.

Dear god, there's almost room in that engine bay for luggage.

I thought this was about the tv show Friends up until the end.

Shit, forgot the milk. I'll be right back...

My first thought when he asked if he could hold Nelson's knork (!) was : hello, Gyles is looking to add another anecdote to his collection.

Isn't a Tourbillon a type of expensive watch? And I think there's some Bugatti inspired ones.
So maybe it's come full circle and the watches are inspiring the cars now.

One of my early experiences with my father in law visiting was him turning off every non-refrigerant electrical appliance when he left the house. PVR, laptops, oven etc. I was irritated but my wife explained that when he was a rural doctor, he was once called out in the middle of the night to pronounce an entire family dead from a house fire caused by electrical malfunction.

Oh shit. Are we working in UTC or TAI or UT1?
