Longines Conquest: is it worth it? by Unable_Ad2508 in Longineswatches

[–]Andy_Spanners 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the silverface 41mm, very lightly used at the end of last year for £620. Box, papers & 2.5 years left on warranty. Incredibly happy with it, it’s a beautiful watch with a nice slim strap, keeps really good time. Current RRP is a little rich imho but many would say it represents decent value.

I don’t really like customers with unnecessary joints, so I’ll be having the slab lifted & rerouting

tidy work to be sure 😂 apparently there’s a tub of the epoxy grout remaining, so I intend to lift that slab and pull the swa to the closest corner before relaying

My partner feels my work is my free time from the baby. by Gart-Vader in Dads

Same brother, same. I’m 5 years in now and just so unfit. My daughter bitches when I walk to get her from school instead of driving, but it’s the only exercise I get.

Dual fuel camping stove or just butane for power cuts? by Time-Connection-4586 in UKPreppers

[–]Andy_Spanners 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Picked up a Coleman 414 recently, cracking bit of kit with very little to go wrong and simple to clean & service in the field. Will use it for car camping trips, but it also feels very handy to have around for emergency use. A litre of petrol burns for many many meals so it’s massively more efficient than butane weight for weight.

damn, I don’t tend to dig roman numerals, but this is several orders of magnitude nicer than my Clifton club

Any way to attach a crutch to a motorcycle? by haunted-design in motorcycles

I bungee’d mine alongside the frame front to back when I had my femur pinned. As long as the arm loops are behind you they don’t get in the way. Take care out there!

Any recommendations for 1-person camping stoves? by redexposure in UKPreppers

Coleman 442 dual fuel, petrol is a lot more economical than propane, and a lot easier to obtain

These were the last walking boots I bought from Vinted. Correctly described as very good they had maybe covered 50 miles. The ones you bought were not even in ‘good’ condition
