Conex 0 Posted May 14, 2014 Ok........the challenge would have been ( and remember I was going to issue this challenge on OPEN forum fo9r all members to see...not by PM etc etc, )... Conehead insists he's his own man.....and doesn't have to kow-tow to anyone.....ergo......my challenge would have been... 1. He books a flight to London within the next 48 hours......cheap flight from the sand-pit...wot?....... £250-300.! 2. I'll book him a room at the hotel of his choice in London.....Dorchester / Waldorf Astoria / or any boutique hotel he chooses......with evening meal for he and his wife.....at my expense. 3. If he achieves the objective....I gift him my Breguet and he retains his GMT......he proves me wrong. 4. If he doesn't achieve it....I take his GMT and cofirm he's all mouth and trousers and NOT his own man. I'm not a gambling man Give me 72 hrs and I will accept. Book me a room at the Dorchester for saturday night. How do I prove I am there. There has to be some stipulations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted May 14, 2014 Sory....I've ignored you long enough....! And that's just because you can't take your losses as a real men does. Only able to place a bet, but a real gamble is way too much for ya. You'll need to pick a lot of tiny screws and springs up off the floor for a lot of years...before you can play in my arena....but relax....you're only 20.....you've got lots of earning potential ahead of you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

golddusterrolex360 0 Posted May 14, 2014 My biggest pet peeve is folks wearing bracelets on the same wrist with their fancy watch. I hate scratches and it just gets under my skin watching somebody clacking and scraping them together. Second biggest peeve: People who wear fake Rolexes to big public events and act like big shots, Just hate that. If you are going to wear a rep at least get one that does not look like it on your wrist. Not that I am Donald Trump but nothing worse than seeing someone pretending to be above their station and looking like a fool. Other than that, if you like a plastic see through Darth Vader that lights up red in the dark watch, have at it. Wear what you want when you want. Just don't be a heathen.

Once again, based on nothing...... I've got a normal-daily-fulltime job as a developer, running a hobby business next to it is just for fun.... At your side it's ALWAYS about money... What makes it so important to you? Just to admired with forum posts by international people you don't know personally.....? Doesn't make sense at all..... Why would you buy a 13k watch....?

Baldrick 1 Posted May 14, 2014 You see, this is why so many people on here think you're a total dick. You can't not have a little snipe at every given opportunity. Not being a gambler doesn't mean you're not bold you tit. And seriously, the constant full stop thing is as annoying as your constant quoting line by line thing. So, being a non gambler, I will leave it this time. But thanks for confirming that you really are a complete plum. Now let's get back on topic shall we. You're boring me...............again. I bottled it.... :lmao: You really are a dolt...aren't you.......this must be rope-a-dope-day ! Which part of post #202 did you not understand ?
