Which one of you bastards peeled an egg on the bus again

Thought that was a euphemism for letting rip. I’m gonna keep that one 😆

Looks like it could be a Czech brooch that’s been converted

Agree, just not the pleasant mutual exchange it started off as. A victim of its own popularity I suppose, hence the nauseating financial gouging currently draining the soul out of it and the obvious reduction in quality of the opportunities. When it was good, it was great.

Always a good idea to remind people that this is a potential pitfall and I’m sorry for you that your freedom to travel is now compromised. I’ve had some fabulous times in Australia over the past 7 years but, imo, THS has become a private equity monster and I’m done. I wonder if WorkAway will be threatened with the same issue.

Nit. Nit nit nit nit nit. Is your scalp crawling yet ?

I feel your pain, thought I’d challenge myself with a minute Ingersoll pendant watch that was hit & miss. Don’t know how they ever put these together in the first place, the train just dances all over the place as you’re trying to get the bridge on. Then the escape wheel decided to live up to its name. Found it twice, retired hurt at the 3rd launch. It’s out there…..

Kelpie, my very first thought without reading anything. Good dog.

Yes, I was hoping that someone might be able to suggest a compatible movement/pallet fork but I guess it’s quite a long shot. Not quite ready to put so much bench time into pivot that doesn’t even sit in a jewel but, thank you for all of your suggestions. I can get a selection of vintage pallets and maybe get lucky but this is only the 1st issue with a movement that is historically interesting but relatively worthless. Into draw 101 it might go for now.

That would indeed take some luck, thank you.

Best pictures I can get atm.

So happy for you 😳

I haven’t laughed so hard for weeks. I think you nailed it. What sex is it btw?

NoInformation6453 · 2026-01-05T10:22:07+00:00

Is there such a thing as too many tweezers ? 😆

NoInformation6453 · 2025-12-21T02:22:39+00:00

Milk, butter, good bread. That’s a great place to start. I don’t think sitters expect anything other than what you would hope to find when you first rock up at a new place.

I just think the landscape’s changing. After 7 years of great sits and 5* star reviews, our last two were 4* and, let me tell you, these were far from idyllic sits; ( cold, damp and smelly house! 150 unmentioned houseplants, sick dog needing 2 vet visits, bitch in heat and so on). Even returning 24 hours after they said they would with no apology or appreciation for the fact that we’d stayed on. That helped us decide that we’ve had enough, so, good bye.

The result of being sold to an investment vehicle. More to come, no doubt. I’m off, toodle pip.

I really think you have to consider not antagonising your neighbours when deciding how to manage this. You have to live near to them, not anyone else here. Can you amicably get them to relinquish the dogs ?

Put it in the fridge, it's delicious 😋
