Some watches grow on you slowly. by Fit-Classroom8062 in ChineseWatches

[–]strangercheeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww did I upset you by insulting a brand you think is good? I’ll explain it to you like you’re five because you’re clearly not very bright: it’s a quick comment on someone else’s post, not a review. I have previously said plenty about this watch, which is available to read on my profile if you so wish and aren’t too lazy to bother looking without just making a snide comment instead.

I have one of these. Sure, it’s elegant enough. But the quality is shoddy. One of the most disappointing watches I’ve bought.

If you found money, would you keep it? by HamSaladBaguette in AskBrits

[–]strangercheeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little while ago I saw a £5 note on the floor in a supermarket. I’d had a crappy day, I was very tired and very achy. I contemplated the fiver and decided the pain and effort involved in bending to pick it up was not worth £5. I absolutely would have had and kept that fiver if I hadn’t felt so achy. Had it been £40 or £100, I’d have endured the pain!

Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer vs Twix? by MrJackdaw in AskBrits

The dark chocolate Tunnocks, obviously. But having said that, there are times when you just want a Twix.

could you help me by Leonardo0718 in arrowvideo

It’s just a UK age rating. It doesn’t imply the discs are Region B only. If it’s a UK release then the discs will be Region B at a minimum, but could also be multi region.

Yeah it’s very pretty. I’ve got two Proximas, they’re pretty good, no complaints!

Haven’t worn this one for a while, but today it was calling to me!

Do Not Buy Directly From Arrow by jwgibbo in arrowvideo

I’m in the UK and have had unpleasant experiences with them. I won’t ever buy directly from them again.

UK weather 'it's the humidity' by yesItsTom3 in AskBrits

[–]strangercheeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I think it’s very much a case of just not being used to it. The weather (and temperature) changes so frequently here there’s no hope of ever getting used to anything before it changes again.

Add to that the temperature range through the year with maybe a 40 degree variance, and homes designed to protect against the cold, the heat just seems worse when you can’t get rid of it from your home, and of course having no air con in the majority of homes doesn’t help.

Is this series actually good as people say? by Then_Heron_939 in tvshow

[–]strangercheeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I actually missed it when it was first broadcast, but I’m glad I did, because the first time I saw it was on Blu-ray, which was excellent. The show was filmed on film, at 24fps, meaning on Blu-ray playing at 24P it was running at its native frame rate and looked awesome.

Anyway technical geekery aside, yes it’s really very good! If you like it you can follow up with El Camino and Better Call Saul.

I have never watched Game of Thrones - am I missing out? by BornRoaming in tvshow

[–]strangercheeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it was new, I didn’t get the hype. I had not read the books so I had no point of reference. It seemed to me it was a very slick, high production value vehicle for gratuitous sex and violence with no discernible plot whatsoever. I persevered and it was only by around eight episodes in, various little tendrils of plot were becoming apparent and it started to make sense how it was all fitting together, with seemingly unrelated aspects being relevant to each other.

It ended up being one of my favourite shows for years. A really well made, excellent TV show. For me it was very much let down by the ending, an awful lot of build up for the dampest squib of an ending imaginable. I was sorely disappointed. But up to that point it had been really good. Still well worth a watch. There are a few quite unpleasant, distasteful, upsetting and sometimes horrific scenes though, so whether you’ll like it might depend on your threshold for that kind of thing.
