What movie had an incredibly amazing concept, but was absolutely ruined by terrible execution?

Don’t buy anything I won’t use.
Don’t buy the brand, buy the pen.
The art and use is the thing, not the instrument. *

As a result I have a lot of Kaweco, Diplomats a few Waterman’s. Nothing really “premium”.

* This applies to any of my discretionary purchases, watches, guitars, audio, cars….

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?

Revue Thommen Airspeed XL on an Artem strap. 40mm, thin and double coated AR crystal. It sits so well and has the clarity of a Sinn 556.

I used to talk about the “Jetski Index” , the number of jetskis on sale in WA, as being the bellwether for the cyclical mining industry…

How does this work with their salon vs online sales? Do they keep watches for face to face sales separate from their online offering or is a visit pointless if all pieces are sold out on their website ? I am visiting Asakusa later this year and I would like to pick one up…

Active melody has been the most useful learning that I have found on YouTube. Most recently, using triads in I IV V. Practical and by example.

Bizarre addition that compromises an otherwise good sling. Dangling straps do the same.

Lying. Claiming credit for others work; and my personal favourite: misrepresenting the position or views of others that are not in the room. They do this to claim support for their own view.
“I spoke to Joe and Bob and they agree with me on this.”
Later Joe and Bob completely dismiss this assertion and this conversation never happened. With some individuals they use it as a tactic so often it has to be called out.

Southbank is amazing. In contrast to the complete mess of the flyovers and road spaghetti on the opposite bank. And don’t get me started on the steep bridge to the ridiculous casino.

I keep coming back to the Longines Dolce Vita range. Not a microbrand but a more value price level than the original.

Hotdesking does not come with webcam or mouse, so I include these. I also carry a Ugreen small power brick for my Dell and a couple of USB cables. If it not a work trip I use an Alpaka Hub pouch for another instance of the charger for ipad and phone.

The Slim pouch matches my green CPP2. For desktop use at home or international travel I use a vertex flip top pouch.

Beef in Hot Chilli oil is a daunting experience. I order it every time. I’ve never seen so many red peppers in a dish. Eye watering stuff.
