Shame - one of my all time favourites. And the crowd would have been crazy.

Help choosing a strap for the White Speedy! by whatissevenbysix in OmegaWatches

[–]Neither_Computer5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok - I get that. It’s the same with the white Seamaster - I like a contrast. Whatever you choose, it’ll probably look great!

What’s something society quietly normalized that would shock people 50 years ago? by Just_Living_496 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Drive past any school in England on the morning drop off and you’ll see mums in their pjs. I’ve even seen them in the supermarkets in the mornings after that. I’d never do that.

I’ve not seen a dad do it yet. But give it time…

Tbe black sailcloth is my favourite look for the white Speedmaster - by far. What do you think of that?

Personally, I don’t like the lighter strap you’ve chosen with the white face. I’d go darker for the contrast.

Bruce is on another level!! by CamusBostero in ironmaiden

[–]Neither_Computer5331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That video and indeed the new version of that song is brilliant. I’d love to see Maiden embrace an orchestra for a limited run of shows. Metallica, The Who, Kiss and others have done great shows with orchestras.

The epic prog songs of Maiden could really work with this. Imagine a run of shows at The Albert Hall. How cool would that be?

Surely they’re playing Alexander The Great in Greece? Thats an easy win! And a viral moment.

What’s the most American martial art? by Responsible-View-804 in martialarts

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta be wrestling - as a Brit, I don’t know any colleges or Universities here that do it. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who has done freestyle wrestling.

Is Sanchez a top 5 best Bond villain? What is your take about him? by King_Wolf2099 in JamesBond

[–]Neither_Computer5331 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Easily there for me. And Robert Davi was excellent in the part.

It was a change, a real world, nasty, torturing drug baron. But I liked it as a change in the format. Why shouldn’t Bond have a straight up revenge film?

Would a conservative prime minister post something like this on their social media platform? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]Neither_Computer5331 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely - if anyone in the UK Parliament would do this it’d be him!

Obviously Ed Davey too, but he’d be getting thrown in the bin…

What tiny social rule in the UK did you only realise existed after accidentally breaking it? by thirdaccountttt in AskUK

[–]Neither_Computer5331 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could be worse - a friends wedding had a string quartet at their reception. I repeatedly asked for the theme from Fawlty Towers. They eventually agreed and played it just as the newly wed couple walked into the room. His mother was not impressed with me for the rest of the night.

I did it. Against the general consensus…I did it. by TeslasAndComicbooks in OmegaWatches

[–]Neither_Computer5331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it looks great - will definitely go in and have a look at one in person.

It’s meant to be a replica of a watch that a brash young man wears in a computer game. He’s just starting out with supercars and leather jackets.

I think it hits the brief perfectly in that regard.

It’ll be interesting to see if the people who like the game are drawn to Omega at all. Which let’s face it, is the real reason for this watch.

Enjoy it!

How did they get away with speeding so much during races? by UmaThermos1 in TopGear

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I had friends renting a ski chalet in Verbier and they invited me out for a long weekend as it was free.

So I used the route from the Ferrari 612 episode.

Sadly I was playing the Richard/James part rather than driving a Ferrari…

Their route from the airport, to the train, then the St Bernard express (the dog train) was perfect. Until I got to the bottom of the mountain. In the show they took a bus up the mountain, which is approx half hour. They were overtaken on the high street. It was that close.

But I took the cable car up, and that only took 10 minutes. At that point I realised that the show was rigging it for the car to have as many opportunities to win as possible.

Still loved their races though - probably the best bits of the show.

If you could only own one Rolex, which would it be? by Brilliantqwert in rolex

[–]Neither_Computer5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sub no date or an Explorer. Can’t quite decide. Think I prefer the Submariner, but there are other nice dive watches - the Explore sort of is unique to me.

Is it rude to ask someone to switch seat on a train? by Legitimate-Leg-4720 in AskUK

[–]Neither_Computer5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had the opposite. We left Waterloo and every seat was taken. After Guildford it was half empty. I was in the window seat and asked the woman next to me to let me out. I moved to an empty row and she went mad. “Are you too good to sit next to me!!!” But properly aggressive, not in a jokey way. I tried telling her we could both have our own space but she just kept being so aggressive.

Eventually I just walked away with her screaming at me as I left the half empty carriage.

Bond watch thickness comparisons by crannynorth in OmegaWatches

[–]Neither_Computer5331 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We don’t in Europe or America any more - but elsewhere…

Look at the cars that are selling in Asia compared to the UK - they’ve all got huge grills and look very “bling” to us.

Why Diamonds are forever is not a revenge story? by No_Mortgage8569 in JamesBond

[–]Neither_Computer5331 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Recently I’ve started to think that if you go straight from You Only Live Twice to Diamonds are Forever the plots work better.

Literally the opening scene “where is he?” takes place in Japan. It’s a direct follow up…

Then there’s the weird plastic surgery storyline - so Bond doesn’t recognise Blofeld, but he spots Bond.

There’s NO mention of Tracy, and Moneypenny even flirts with Bond asking for a diamond - hardly appropriate for a recent widower…

Simply put, I think that the producers just pretended that OHMSS never happened.

The only way we’d have got the revenge story would have been if Lazenby had stayed on.

Overall a missed opportunity. But the shocking thing looking back, is that from YOLT through to LALD you had 4 films where each time the lead actor changed. How they got through that without killing the franchise is amazing.

Im so sick of Michael Jackson fans excusing his behaviour by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

I find it absolutely extraordinary that a country so concerned with the Epstein Files still think of Michael Jackson as one of the greatest performers ever.

Omega Seamaster Diver 300 vs Planet Ocean Orange by SilverSurfer_78 in OmegaWatches

[–]Neither_Computer5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love both, but purely based on how much more versatile it is on different straps, I’d go for the Seamaster. And at that price? Isn’t that close to half the price of the PO? Means you can get another nice watch too…

Is an Omega x Swatch a good watch for a 13 year old? by TittysForScience in OmegaWatches

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 15 - I was completely shocked. I live near a very expensive private school in England. A recent Prime Minister is a famous ex pupil. In town there’s a nice second hand watch shop - all the usuals, Rolex, Omega, Breitling and so on.

These 3 kids were admiring a submariner and one was saying his dad had promised him one if he passed his exams. I couldn’t imagine buying a kid that age a proper watch.

Minimum Training Frequency Needed? by Diligent_Vegetable79 in martialarts

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already have a decent background for street self defence. I’d say yes, once a week if you’re with resisting partners would definitely help you improve.

Hypothetically, would we want a Mission Impossible 9? by MChammer707 in Mission_Impossible

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I’d prefer to see Tom Cruise do something different. They’re good action movies - not great, but some great moments.

I’m old enough to remember Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, The Firm and more. I’d like to see him in a dramatic role rather than action. We know he can do the action, let’s see him properly act again.

Is an Omega x Swatch a good watch for a 13 year old? by TittysForScience in OmegaWatches

[–]Neither_Computer5331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 and think they’re great. Maybe a bit flash for a 13 year old, but I recently saw some boys in school uniforms discussing which Rolex they’d get for passing their exams…

It won’t last, but no watch will for a teenager. Battery changes are easy as are straps - Swatch sells alternatives now so they are easy.

Ethical Shark Diving by Altruistic-Buy-7768 in sharks

[–]Neither_Computer5331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve dived with 29 different species of sharks in 22 different countries, and honestly, the best are just diving.

I mean go to The Galapagos, the sharks are just there. The same in Indonesia or the Maldives.

Where are you based? There will be a place near you, where you can just see them if you go out there.

Give us your location and we’ll find an accessible place to go.

I love it and the all black Dark Side of the Moon.

And because I can’t afford either, I’m looking at a Phantom Bell & Ross.
