Don't forget that if you have nice watches(or music boxes)...they must be brought to you for inspection and repairs if needed!!!

Just had a meltdown in the supermarket. Went to buy toothpaste, my last one was one of those upright dispenser tubes. I thought those were supposed to be less messy, but looking at the state of my bathroom counter.

So I went to get a normal tube, the choice is endless. There’s one for sensitive, fight plaque, tartar, smokers, whitening, fluoride, enamel repair, cavity protection, bad breath, gingivitis(What is this??) And all sorts of combinations of the above. There's stripes, pastes, gels. Different flavors. I just wanna brush my teeth.

I got advanced whitening toothpaste, 3 shades whiter. It was the only one on offer.

Expect me to have brilliant white teeth just like Simon Cowell in a few weeks.

I don't think you need the extra 2mm. Especially if the 115200(date) is easier to get. If you're talking no cyclops, then you're talking an air-king(34mm). Big fan of that watch.

My mum trying on one with pink batons. But can get a pink dial for an AK.

I'm more worried about the markers, seems like only three of them stick properly to the dial...
Carl, you crack me up! I think I will try out my mom's for a while. She's pretty used to it and doesn't complain about legibility because the dial is quite a soft pink and the hands are full WG. No lume either, but that doesn't bother me since my current DJ dial doesn't have lume.

Oooh, I'm a sucker for those whitening toothpastes, but I can't say I've seen THAT much of an improvement myself. Keep us posted Wes!

D, I definitely prefer the full size DJ 116200/116234, but it's all about what you're used to.

Don't you wear a DD nowadays? I find the 34mm a tad small, and my wrist is just under 6.5". Of course, these days I pretty much wear my Daytona daily so I'm used to the larger watches....but for me, 36mm is just a perfect fit.

We need wrist shots girl!!!

Tell me about it, I stopped brushing my teeth years ago because choosing a toothpaste became quite a pain in the neck...

Do tell us how it is! I don't see myself buying one but I'd like to read a little review of yours.

Now guys, what do you think of sitar and indian music? I've been thinking about buying myself such an instrument for a long time but they're rather expensive and not easy to store or carry, yet I find the sounds and music it makes so nice to listen to! So mysterious, spooky at times, psychedelic at others...what a big range of emotions it gives you when you listen to it!

As long as my girlfriend "digs" it I'll be happy!

...Besides, if I need to look like Mike Myers in this movie to have girls around me I'd rather remain lonely...

It is a very nice instrument though, I can play similar music on my guitars with special tunings (something à la Jimmy Page's DADGAD) but the sound is never the same...

Incredible
Thanks so much for posting that. That race is the bomb! My DVR did record it but it was unwatchable. Just a blue screen. It was only shown on a HD channel here and my TV won't show that. Those guys are so talented.thank God for street races.
