Grandpa....please wear the black one!!!

That's right....little Annika (just 4½) seems to have fallen in love with Subby.

I was baby sitting her all day Sunday and was about to leave the house with her (thought I'd treat her for some strawberry ice-cream at our favourite parlour) when she stopped me dead in my tracks by saying those very touching words....she actually made me take off Yammy and slap on Subby. Subby, of course, was over the moon and was grinning from ear to ear. I could have sworn I even saw him blush!!

Now she keeps telling me she really loves the black "Rollllllllex"....she has this delicious way of rolling the letter "L" and it sounds very, very cute. Wish you guys could hear her....she is the apple of my eye!!

Funny you should mention that, Adrian, but she somehow doesn't like BLUE. However, she actually loved my white Breitling and was very sad when I sold it. She's made me promise her never to sell Subby. She loves it a lot and refuses to see anything else on my wrist but that one!!

Hi 3135. Do you know JJ? I ask this because I see this is your first post and frankly it seems a tad rude.

We all give JJ a hard time in jest, but getting to know you first would go a long way in ensuring you mean your comment in jest.

Why do you keep editing your posts? I’m sorry for being so blunt but you appear to be a troll. I like JJ very much, so please explain.

I think old softy JJ just might buy her one. That would be a really good excuse for him to acquire yet another Rolex with a valid reason this time.
I've got a client who bought 3 Subs, put them away for his sons to receive on there Univ. Graduation.

Hi 3135,

Welcome to TRF. I like your username 'cause I've got TWO 3135s - the Subby and the Yammy!!

Whatever you meant by your comment doesn't worry me.....but what would worry me is if you were a troll and then you were to be banned by some of these smart mods of ours who can catch on real quick.

Either way, I hope you can put in some more productive and creative posts. It would add some meaning to the forum and also some meaning to your presence here on TRF.....otherwise, you're just wasting everyone's time and pissing people off!!

Cheers - JJ

Hi Tom,

No offense taken, pal. Now just tell me one thing...I knew a number of TOMs on TURF. Which one were you and what was your username there? That might ring a bell....otherwise PM me, no worries!
