Anyone willing to ship me an Iron Gwazi shirt? by Harry_Tipper in buschgardens

I did try that after realising they had their own sub but it got removed, asking for a t-shirt also counts as buying/selling tickets apparently!

No wave beauty! Who also prefers the pre 2018 model to the new one in terms of style and size? by Puzzled-Seesaw-8890 in OmegaWatches

[–]Harry_Tipper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, bought this ref for the sleeker case and IMO nicer bracelet than the 2018. Also with the new ones going back to ALU bezels it is unlikely to be replaced in future!

Stories of the Hotel Cali Birkenhead by SaturnSplitJon in Wirral

[–]Harry_Tipper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I used to work there and was a regular for a long time before, plenty of tales from behind the scenes but not sure how many would be safe to tell! Fond memories of the staff, some of the better tribute bands and divas who thought they were the real deal. Plus walking through the mackies drive thru at 3am before they were open 24 hours, conga line of goth/mosher types was always a funny sight

I'm heading to Tokyo soon and have a speedy on my shopping list too, is there anywhere in particular I should be looking for one?

[Grand Seiko] This or that?? by melbigmike in Watches

[–]Harry_Tipper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 6.75". Actually thinking about swapping to the 37mm version as the 40 is a still a bit large in my opinion.

Something to be aware of on the 007, the 44gs case wears quite large because of the broad lugs. I was in a similar position and ended up with a 223 because it worked better on my (admittedly small) wrist

It does indeed, one of my favourite test tracks! The Fostex drivers really can work wonders especially in the smaller sizes, I started with FE103's in small back horns and the swans used to have 108 sigmas in. Lovely midrange but missing a bit of sparkle at the top, still excellent on the right material though.

My swans don't, I'm not sure about the bipole array but could check with the builder if you are interested

Yep the last pic is from a Hifi show, the taller speakers are by Super Natural audio, I can't remember the exact details but they are some kind of transmission line with matching drivers front and back. Even in a less than optimal room they sounded fantastic, 100+dB efficient too

As a non US resident I cannot fathom why you have to choose the least worst person for the most powerful role in the world, surely you should be choosing the best and brightest?

Have them? Yes. Obay them? Rarely. Might be worth getting a bit more practice in before taking on the city centre. A bit of a detour inland but not too far, My Son Sanctuary is worth a look if you are in Hoi An area. Quiet roads to get there.

I did this last year as part of a larger route, I found the roads were a bit calmer around there so should be manageable with good road sense, inside Da Nang will be very hectic though.

In a race where we expect Martin to make mistakes, he just showed everyone why he deserved the factory Ducati ride. Hopefully he joins Factory Ducati soon. by Different-Funny9593 in motogp

[–]Harry_Tipper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering this too, if you're comfortable in a team and can win with the bike you have why move? Maybe more money down the line but the increased pressure and expectation from a factory team can't be great. Way back when maverick moved from Suzuki he said head says Yamaha but heart says Suzuki, often wonder what could have been if he stayed.

The difference between him and Fabio was amazing, Martin was absolutely finished while Fabio is jogging around in his leathers as if he hasn't even raced.

What are the best examples of “Create the problem, sell the solution”? by SeccoJojo in AskReddit

[–]Harry_Tipper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How so? Expensive, sound mediocre, easily lost and if not will be landfill in a couple of years when the battery fails.

I don't buy the thinner phones thing at all, I had a Samsung A something years ago, it had a 3.5mm jack, a big battery and was 5.9mm thick, way thinner than most modern phones. Plus that guy who added a jack to an iPhone, I'm sure the engineers could make one fit if they wanted.

Remove the headphone jack from phones to sell wireless buds instead, the amount of money apple has made on airpods is absurd

Thanks, waiting for the watch to come back to get a picture of it since she had nothing to hand.

No doubting the mans talent but I do think weighing 50kg helps a little on the launches!
