Dog Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I get up when I wake up - eat when I am hungry - drink when I am thirsty. I don't wear jewellery or have tatoos or body piercings.When I need to know the time I look at the sun dial or the church clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spectateur Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 My old dad had a Rolex watch, I recall. He was very fond of it as he had stolen it from a German officer that he and his mates had captured in 1944. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keni Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Having worked on the railway for 34+ years, Chris is dying to throw his watch away!The company have just given him a Blackberry - which of course he can't operate because he still aims to be the last computer literate person in the world. They say he needs one to be kept up to date with the track information, so, like the watch come retirement they are both going back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Streason Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 This is a difficult one. Generally I dont care about stuff but I do have a couple of luxury items.I define luxury as something which works no better than something a lot cheaper but somehow makes you feel good. I have 3 luxury items I can think of, a watch (not Rolex but another "name"), a fountain pen and a shaving set. Certain other things I do believe you get what you pay for so I tend to spend quite a bit on decent shoes but I am 18 stone, give then a hell of a battering and expect them to last for years. (I only own 5 pairs of shoes in total so they have to be multi functional as well).I love nice watches, got the love from my father, and have bought "name" watches for each of my 3 sons as a 21st birthday present.My father has named 8 watches in his will, all left to me. Its a bit of an in joke because only he and I know which is the only one that is real and not purchased from Penang for $3. To be honest I'm half hoping it turns out to be the other way round with only one fake but not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
