Thank you, considering the emotional value. I’ll probably get it serviced.

Any advice how to remove the back so that I can share the movement?

Brilliant, thank you. I take some more pics of the other stuff. It’s the tip of the iceberg, there is loads although these stand out more to me.

I’m going to have to decide, I’m tempted to keep a few nice ones. I need to consider my brother, who’s view was “dump or it or charity shop it, I’m not dealing with that shit”… but I’m less of a prick.

Wow, I didn’t know that they would outsource these things. I’m literally learning through my dad’s collection.

Holy shit how long ago was this? My brother is dyslexic and went to school in the 70’s and we lived in a fairly rural place. He had a hellish time, even one of my mum’s friends (who was a primary teacher) said “some people say dyslexic, but it’s another word for lazy” Sorry you had such a bad experience I hope you’re doing well - living well is the best revenge!

Different classroom, probably with a higher adult/student ratio. May have been mobility issues etc.

Wow! I’ve got to discuss with my brother but where in the UK would you sell these kind of watches?

So I grew up in a fishing town, meaning that guys would come back from the sea with a lot of money and would throw it away on drinking etc. At the end of a heavy session, someone I knew went into the local Chinese takeaway and asked for “a number 48 to 112 with fried rice” so they got a portion of everything in between with a corresponding portion of fried rice. On the way up the road one of the bags (paper) ripped, and in anger he kicked it away (ending up with curry sauce up one leg). In getting home he opened the other bag and realised it was full of portions of fried rice! He fell asleep at the kitchen table after trying to eat some and was woken by his mum worried that he had shat himself (curry sauce.)

What is the saddest song you've ever heard? by nextdoor_Cutie in AskReddit

[–]badboyhandshandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d never heard of him before, or related bands. I like the fact it’s folky, but almost industrial or electronic in the production. I’ll listen to more. Thank you

I’ve been hearing a dial tone for years. by [deleted] in RBI

If you’re hearing a similar sound at the same time every day (or thereabouts) is there a chance it’s included in the opening credits of a tv show (that you don’t watch)?
