That is one thing I've never been able to understand. Why would somebody put on a copy watch of an expensive watch. That way they can get mugged or killed for a $7.00 Watch. Go figger! :roll:

Almost as bad as the Toyota Harrier Drivers who buy the trim and logos of the lexus so they can convert their car to a lexus wannabe. Then they can drive to Malaysia and Have their $90K Harrier stolen because some dimwit thought it was a lexus.

Anyway, try the basement of Lucky Plaza, they always have a few touts around who will set you up.

Hi stranger! :wink:

I've not even registered over there. Though I do admit I lurk (you will notice you almost always have one unregistered (I like tabbed multiple home pages in my favorite browser) :)

Saint, you can't call always having the site open on my browser as a stealth appearance. I'm generally logged onto your site for 14 hours a day. #-o

If I only visited occasionally then you could. As it is, with the site being one of 7 tabbed homepages I'm alway on the site technically. Nothing stealthy about it. It's just lurking. Matter of fact I occasionally reply to something over there thru another third-party board to PH. Or even Bremen over here. Nothing quite so sinister. For that matter have discussed events over there with GR here.

:cool:

so sms how is it over on the Inbred Side? just joking...... guessing by the recent posts here by those who left that maybe boredom is setting in

save for checking PMs a few months ago I haven't been back even to lurk, ever since that awful spewing of insensitivity, despite that I miss most of the folks there

this place on the other hand, seems to have become better albeit a bit less volume than we were used to a few months back

EADG,

I miss them as well to a certain extent. Don't miss the strife but sometimes the banter. That said, recent experiments with Google show us now higher in ratings than the AB. Things are picking up here as well, we are getting a good mix of people here and not just euro-centric anymore. Often makes for some hot & lively discussions.

hmmm....actually I was never one for the banter, obscured the content, took up a lot of space, most of it didn't actually say much

what I miss are those constructive contributers, the camaraderie, adn the level of intellectual capability

..which I get here from the likes of you and those who stayed!

:lol: Sorry, I've got to laugh! That stretching it a bit I think.......





But I'll take it! :wink: When I said banter what I was meaning was exactly what you said "camaraderie" Unfortunately the word escaped me at that point in time. Way I see it, life's too short to hold grudges and it's not productive either.

Anyway, good to see you here.
