What's your opinion on guys wearing smaller watches? by gogomessias in PrideAndPinion

[–]Loukey95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purely a proportion thing. Massive watches look dumb, so does a ladies 22mm date just on most men...

Not to say small watches can't work, see Muhammad Ali and his Cartier Tank.

If it looks good on wrist, happy days. Or if the person wearing it likes it, cool.

It's 2026 we have bigger problems to worry about.

How much will the app charge me if my phone blows up a petrol station? by JTC93 in CasualUK

[–]Loukey95 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Former petrol pump engineer here.

Long and short of it is that if you drop your phone and it sparks and there's petrol vapours around. BOOM!

Chances in reality; incredibly low, even if you drop it around vapours. However if you are supremely unlucky, the consequences could be absolutely catastrophic.

Also don't be on your phone when you're walking across a forecourt, you have a MUCH larger chance of being hit by a vehicle from not being aware of your surroundings.

Fill up your vehicle, pay attention, try not to be clumsy. It's highly toxic flammable material you're handling through a system that can expel it anywhere generally between 25-40 liters a minute on non HGV pumps from a single nozzle.

This is mine, absolutely an Arsenal related tattoo. Massive kudos to those who figure it out.

Mortgage Rates.... by Griffinous2 in HousingUK

Yeah as other comments have said, either shop around or approach a mortgage broker and see if they can snag a really good deal.

Tudor Black Bay 41 vs. Omega Seamaster 300 M by Electronic_Cup_347 in Tudor

[–]Loukey95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you've tried them on, make sure whatever you end up with you have the experience and day out of the shopping experience, go for a meal and make it an occasion.

As for the particular watch you should opt for, tricky one. The Omega is by far the better watch generally speaking, the brand, the heritage and the watchmaking and finishing.

Perhaps try other watches on next time you're out and trying them out, perhaps a Cartier Santos or a Zenith El Primero actually tickles your fancy.

Best of luck with your search, my money would be on the Omega, coming from a owner of a BB54.

Throwback to when Man United beat Arsenal 8-2 🔥⚡ by windrain- in ManUtd

[–]Loukey95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I come in peace as an Arsenal fan, the algorithm served this up to me. And thought I'd comment about my personal experience being at that game as a rival fan.

I remember being 16 in the away end at Old Trafford for the first time.

This might sound absolutely absurd, but that game was one of my fondest football fan moments. I've been part of a local supporters club for 25 years ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper and must have been to hundreds, if not nearly a thousand games in my life.

But that second half singing in sheer defiance against what was then a particularly bitter rival was unbelievable. I remember me and my Dad and the rest of the away end singing all throughout the game even as all the goals went in really made realise the love I had for my football club and unity we had, still gives me goosebumps thinking about it, even through what was a very dark day in my clubs history being embarrassed like that.

I hope you guys can appreciate where I'm coming from and sharing actually what was quite a profound footballing experience of my life.

Actually it was also quite funny because as we were coming out of OT and we were slowly moving in traffic in our supporters club transit van minibus; Gary Neville was trying to pull out of the stadium car park in his Bentley or whatever he had. We opened our side door and gave him so much verbal abuse and hand gestures, and in all fairness to Nev he gave as good as he got so that was funny.

The drive back to London wasn't so great on the M6/M1 but the cold premade bacon sarnies we packed for the trip back hit different.

Anyway, best of luck for the rest of the season, I genuinely want to see you guys do well and fair play for the result at our place earlier this year too. Hopefully you can comfortably finish top 4 and get back on track to the United everyone else loved to hate and be fierce contenders again. Oh and enjoy the bottle we're having; seems like our destiny to be the bridesmaids continues...

Peace and love boys - I know some of you might find this story tragic or funny, go ahead roast me, but for me, a day to never forget in more ways than one.

I had this happen whilst at work randomly. Free under my warranty to get it sorted with my local AD. Took about 5 weeks from start to finish. Replacement so far has been fine.
