I sure will Will. It's quite strange to watch a series like that that is literally made on your doorstep, not to mention seeing the folk in the background that you recognise.

Do they do it with sub titles for you guys in the South? :)

Not for me, Geo - I spent many of my formative years in Glasgow ... I got paid to translate Rab C. Nesbitt into English for my friends ...

I've seen that series Will , it was shown here a couple of months ago.

Broughty Ferry is a really nice place to stay. The pictures I posted last week in Lawson's post regarding phone picture quality, were taken about 100Yds from "Bob's" house.

It certainly looked great in the show.

 

I haven't laughed so much since I saw the "Still Game" series some years ago. Scottish TV has produced some seriously funny stuff. I was a huge fan of "Rab C. Nesbitt", and "The Naked Video".

 

Mind you, when I was a kid, I used to lap up "Oor Wullie" and "The Broons"... Corrupted while still a minor.

Incidentally Gregor Fisher had a 750k house just here in Spalding, never met him though :(

Last thing I saw him in was Love Actually - love that film.

      First Project Already A Bit "Sideways"

      By Waggy · Posted

      Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!

      Can you soften the squeeze on a tweezer?

      As Hector said they have too much  tension, that tension is also fixed and not easy to control. Conventional tweezers have infinitely variable grip provided by us.

      Thank you and i appreciate that, it looks very different    Thank you sir but i think there is a little problem according to that reading it's because it is far different to the other move that i serviced, i will atouched the photo. They are different movements but this one is 7s26b movement and they are also different in shape when it comes to the ballance assmebly. Thanks also for the concerned i appreciate that.

      My first Gruens. Precision 510 and N510R movements.

      Donor movement showed up, so I stole the bridge screw from it. Which made me sad, because it's in such nice shape! It seems a shame. Maybe I'll find a use for it one of these days. Unfortunately, the stem is for a different style of case and is much too short. Fortunately, I ordered a brand new stem from McCaw Company. Unfortunately, the crown on the donor movement is thoroughly stripped out (it unscrewed in a shower of brass) so i just put the old stem back in for now until I source a new crown. As you can see, it's just a little too long for this case. Overall I'm super pleased. I didn't think I'd like the bracelet, and even that is growing on me.   Anyone have a favorite crown assortment?

      Vertex Dirty Dozen crystal

      A couple of pictures of the front… Sorry, I’m months away from this one, but…there is an edge to the bezel but I see no obvious signs of previous bezel removal and it is quite thick so it would be difficult to grab an edge on the crystal with a crystal lift. It does look like in/out thru the back…good luck…
