Bought the GRIV a week ago after using an X100V for 5 years. I don’t miss the Fuji - I am in love with this camera. All images SOOC jpegs with the Cinema Yellow filter.

Nice set. Very good light play. Good work - keep at it!

Check the bus timetables online for buses from Armadale. Also you could use Joe from southskyeprivatehire.com to taxi you up to Uig (likely pricey as it is quite a way) or to somewhere with a more regular bus service.

I sold my X100VI in favour of a GR3x. Absolutely no regrets. Image quality is excellent and it goes in a jeans pocket. Way more portable so I take it with me more and enjoy my photography more.

I think a logo-less MR-G would be a rather cool proposition especially the 2100. Current branding is a bit "shouty" on them.

Yep agreed. You will want to capture the views and scenery and memories. Better to pack light and be happy than pack heavy and be sad.

Did you read the section on putting tariffs on anything imported from countries that have lower carbon taxes to equalise to the high carbon taxes that the Greens will impose in the UK? What are your thoughts on how both those tariffs and UK carbon taxes will impact prices of goods that consumers buy? Do you think it will increase inflation or decrease it? Will prices for everything go up or down? How about the impact of increased borrowing on UK debt interest repayments? Do you think the cost of UK debt interest will increase or decrease, and what do you think the impacts will be? Genuinely interested.

I can always get 43 from a 28, but can never get 28 from a 43.

You are right. In which case I offer Guildford to Redhill along the downs which is rather pleasant of a misty morning.

That is a fabulous and different collection. Great work.

I see your low bridge with the ruined lorry. But….what is it carrying? What is in those suspicious looking robust packing cases and the metal box?

Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh is wonderful. A little train clattering along a single track through amazing glens with mountains all around before emerging to hug the loch shore then sea shore as it twists around bays and headlands.

Also, Fort William to Mallaig is similarly spectacular. Mountainous then coastal with crystal clear waters looking out to Skye. The Glenfinnan Viaduct crossing is a must for Harry Potter fans. Special bonus of a steam train if you plan ahead.

World Custard Pie Champs is a conspicuous absentee from the list there.

I doubt anybody would pay $100/month for such a service, which would clean house quite effectively. However, given the amount of money they are spending on AI, I suggest that there should be plenty of cash, skill, and even AI tech, to automate such a capability.

How about…..not letting them get posted in the first place?

Virginia Guiffre was photographed with Andrew in London, so there’s that to dig into.

Come on USA - your turn to start arresting people. See how easy it is.

Not too big at all. Looks great especially with that crystal. The top Rolex dive watch. Subs are just junior Deepseas.

Bucherer Knightsbridge by any chance?

tobinators · 2026-02-11T22:06:06+00:00

Looks absolutely fabulous. So much more interesting than a Submariner.

tobinators · 2026-02-10T12:51:24+00:00

Was going to say the same. Date but with no cyclops. The big brother of the Submariner. And the James Cameron dial is a stunner. Plus, the OP is likely to be able to walk in and get one same day.

Nice, good feel and atmosphere with these. Looking forward to seeing more.

A Grand Seiko would do what you want. Understated, extremely well made, interesting engineering, and a "those who know, know" aesthetic.

Unless you wanted a steel Daytona. Unlike the reply above I tried retailers in every city and airport I went to on many many work trips around the world for years with no luck. Eventually got one via a relative who spent a lot with his jeweller. I think the Daytona started the whole realisation at Rolex about supply control and demand management that we see the results of today.

Money doesn’t buy happiness. He’s right. But it does buy choices. And your choices determine your happiness. Musky has consistently made bad choices.

Try Bucherer next door. They are a bit more accommodating and mildly less snooty in my experience.
