Torpedo

Nottingham Analogue if you want to keep it cost (and time searching) sensible, or a Micro Seiki RX8000 if you are ready to spend some time and effort, with a decent 12" arm. Going insane, I don't know, there are lots of expensive nonsensical things these days, just stay away from Clearaudio, please

The present Madrid's president is an oligarch on his own too. He decided to hire Bale for 100M.€ a few years ago, and despite this guy is weaker (from the lesions point of view) and not as elegant, agile, clever and visionary as Morata, we're keeping him instead. Still Benzema is very good and mates very well with Cristiano. The really strong point of this Madrid is the midfield, which is probably as good as it was Barça's at its prime, and that's saying a lot since they were World Champions in 2010. Last century Madrid might have benefited from political decisions, still they were a team and they did what they did with very stringent nationalist policies (only 2 foreign players were allowed and there was no EU, nor free people travelling those days) using their own resources. Sure, Distefano was one of the greatest, as Messi is and still...

I think I'd keep the manual, I love thin watches, despite which I don't own a really thin one

What's the difference in thickness from the manual model?

Chelsea? with just one Champions League on their shelves? The one and only possible religion is Real Madrid, with Barça as a worthy aspirant to deserve some cult status

The worrying part is its brains are somewhere between China and Siberia.

Yup, they look a bit DIYish, but not worse than any Grado or Hifiman.

If balls are at about 35ºC, perhaps lower, I'm afraid it's hotter here

What a beauty, Dusty! How does it sound unplugged?

Interesting. Send us YT links

What would be your philosophical heavy mood? Angry? Energetic? Dooming?

Awesome. Making music is one of the most rewarding activities one can spend time doing. And a lot of fun

I'm no fountain pens expert at all, I don't have any of the modern recommended ones, I have a few old fashioned ones from Sheaffer (one was my grandfather's and is probably about 80 years old), old Parkers, Waterman, Cross, a couple of Meisterstücks the big 149 and one smaller LeGrand, all were gifts or inherited, truth is I never bought a fountain pen for me. I've used most of them. The Meisterstück are very nice to use, not very heavy, but kind of big. They don't get much use on these computer days.

But not to you

Obviously you need some Meisterstück

If they offer a six month minimum warranty for the service, I'd go with the US center. They should have the tools and spare parts needed, the skilled watchmakers but you'd save time and shipping cost.

You're right, one buys that to show off on a shelf then another one of the ink colour you like to write

I'd say that it depends on the model. I wouldn't have one of the newer coaxial mechanisms serviced outside the official network.

cj, would you please post something written or drawn with that ink? I guess the color is lighter than it seems into the bottle.

Excellent news, Jacob. Best of lucks on the next step

Congratulations, Shelly!!! I hope you're happy in your new to be home

Feliz Cumpleaños, Jose
