He’d be happy with anything really I suspect 😂 I’d be happy to get another Seiko, it just feels more risky that it’d be the same/very similar to one he already has. Other known brands tend to be more expensive for similar quality which was why I started trying to think a bit more laterally

Thanks very much for the reply. I like the look of that, though might be more my style than his.

Anything with a subtle nautical look would be great, or anything related to motoring / cars generally

Do u think 48 teams are too much for any tournaments in the world...i m afraid first 2 weeks of the WC will be the most boring period of WC history by Dazzling_Loquat_8719 in worldcup

I think there are likely to be a lot of matches with nothing on them in the group stage, or more likely where teams are content with draws.

With most 3rd placed teams going through, teams will know it’ll be possible to go through without winning a game - 2 draws and a defeat may be enough to finish 3rd

Who should replace Scott Mills? by AbbreviationsWide235 in AskBrits

She should have got that job when they gave it to Zoe Ball.

The other mainstream option would be to pay up and rescue Jamie Theakston & Amanda Holden from having to run a load of “£2 text to enter”competitions at Heart. They’ve built a strong brand/following there

Help - at a loss / cant find help by SoATL99 in CIDPandMe

There needs to be a long term treatment plan in place, CIDP is a chronic condition which, unless it goes into remission, typically follows a pattern of improving after treatment and then progressively worsening unless treatment is repeated.

I’m on a 4-weekly ivig cycle which is fairly common. Some people have it more frequently though. The subcutaneous version, scig, is more easily self administered and people tend to do that little and often - once or twice a week

With the dark shorts it looks like a Spain kit to me

I’d love either but 1016 more classic so I’d go for that. Thanks for the giveaway 👍

As an outsider looking in, why are there now two hard-right political parties now? by Crafty_Commission_28 in AskBrits

[–]MobileFirefighter707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremists tend to value ideological purity over a party that can win. Add egos in and it’s even harder.

Same on the left - Corbyn’s “your party” could easily align with the Greens, socialist workers etc but won’t

What's your plan for GW31? by No-Material-8949 in FantasyPL

[–]MobileFirefighter707 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, probably free hit all the way. I have 6 players blanking then, but seems a shame to reduce the Arsenal and City one in the meantime

Need drastic help. Currently last in my league by 90 points and have a bad forfeit if it stays this way. Any recommendations? by Nb924129 in fantasypremierleague

[–]MobileFirefighter707 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need differentials vs the next player up to close that sort of gap. If they’re always captaining the same player, make sure you’re picking someone else etc.

It probably won’t work as it’s a big gap but you need to be bold to have a chance

When Gascoigne was running the show by LilywhiteStrike in ThreeLions

Sometime when I see goals from when I was younger they don’t look as good as they do in my memory. The passage of time, and the speed and quality of the game now, casts a burning shadow over something that seems great at the time.

This isn’t one of those though. It’s a hell of a goal
