BEEN AWAY, WHAT HAVE I MISSED

Hello watch friends ๐Ÿ™

So I've had a week in Benidorm and I'm only just recovering, that was last Friday I returned home!

SO "WHAT HAVE I MISSED?" ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you Ben

Too many 'To homage or not' posts; so not much. Haha

Since @DeeperBlue is putting Bites on hold for a couple weeks while she attends to more important matters, I shall attempt to fill in.

I posted a thought about how we curb the buying itch.

@danj454 posted a good bit of info on Multiband 6

@Lacquerite asked what we would do if we suddenly had $12B at our disposal.

@Polishmadman asked us to help him understand what is appealing about downsizing.

Also, too many 'Tell me what watch I should buy next' posts. I don't like these and if I were needing input from the hive mind, I'd post something like, 'Hydroconquest vs. Seamaster; which would you pick and why?' to get people to tell me what they like/dislike about the options presented.

Anyway, not as detailed or expansive as the weekly Bites, but there you go.

Cheers & MTFBWY!

Solidyetti posted a pic of the Invicta skull watch.

I Believe that means some angels died somewhere.

@solidyetti is this true? (quickly mooches on over to the page) ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Er....The Queen passed away and we have had 3 Prime Ministers is the last year. Everton docked 10 points (shame) and apparently Nigel Farage is going in the jungle. On a personal level you missed my chicken pasta bake last Saturday.

I said a week, not a year ๐Ÿ˜‚ I hope Farage is eaten by a large Snake or Spider! I don't know how they dare call it Celebrity! Send some Pasta bake my way ๐Ÿคฃ

Year/week all the same to me lately๐Ÿ˜€ I am with you on the Farage snakey spidy thing, I would let loose a few Jaguars at the same time and maybe a Honey Badger or two. As for the pasta bake, well and truly scoffed alas.

As @UnholiestJedi said, there were way too many posts about homages (including one of mine at the end), quite a few watch snobs revealed themselves on every post, and most of it was caused by the 11/11 AliExpress sale where, obviously, there's nothing else to buy except homages.

@DeeperBlue announced a new game which is something to do with James Bond, but nobody really knows what it will be about yet.

So many Rolexes and Tudors got flexed on the poors by insta-collectors that it led many to believe that WatchCrunch had turned into TGV's Facebook group for a week.

A lot of people incapable of choosing anything for themselves posted requests for help, and an equal number of people who don't know what Google is or how to use a search engine posted questions which nobody answered.

In the world of YouTube, Archie, Oisin, Bear Clooney, Tim Write, and Paul Thorpe are still fighting over anything they can think of which will get them SuperChat money. Adrian posted something about a watch but said very little about it even though he filled a video with words. TGV and Marc still haven't kissed or got married to each other, but they posted yet another video about "watch snobs" (making the total number of TGV videos about watch snobs this year alone now well into double figures). Linus Techtips got called out for all kinds of bad testing practices, which echoed all the watch reviewers getting called out for fibbing in exchange for money, and Boogie2988 made a documentary which makes him out to be a nearly bankrupt victim which apparently is as far from the truth as anyone can get. Sophie Shohet's rabbit died while she was in Florence buying handbags and expensive blazers. Ben posted something about Seiko watches, most of which he's already posted about half a dozen times already too.

In personal news, my dad died a year ago today, my auntie (and godmother) died, Joss Ackland died, some celebrities who I never heard of also died, there are wars going on all over the place, Paul Robinson and Eden killed Micha Barton's sister in Neighbours, Phil is Sharon's father in EastEnders (or something), Freddos now cost ยฃ1 each, my left eye hurts, I still haven't had a shower since Friday, I bought a Pagani Design GMT from AliExpress, some Renata batteries I ordered a week ago finally arrived, I've eaten 14 pizzas and 4 lamb samosas, the mole in my garden found a garden gate sign and dug it up, we now have 2 Ring doorbells, and I need to go to the dentist eventually.

Thank you so much for the catch up and the time it took you to write/type this ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ loved some of this and it made me laugh out loud ๐Ÿ˜‚
