We have first three characters of first name, first three characters of surname for one of our systems.
I won’t share any specifics, but there are a few users whose usernames you definitely couldn’t say out loud in the office.

I love my old quartz Hydro and wear it almost daily, but a new automatic is very high on my wish list.
I’d say go for it, maybe in a different colour combo.

Patios are typically grouted with resin based brush in products or pointed up with cement-based mortar. Those joints are wide, and usually very resistant to weed growth, until they start to fail (years if done well).
OPs driveway is cobbles/setts with what looks like brushed in sand. That ain’t keeping anything at bay for long.

It did solve the problem. For 6 months! Get yourself a weed burner (fun, chemical free), or a sprayer and some weedol.

You’re expecting never to have to weed a driveway again…?
I don’t know of any product that “seals” out weeds from a driveway… that is essentially impossible. “Sealing” a patio/driveway is something you do for aesthetics or to protect the stone.

700 ELO, usually play 10+0 rapid.
When I play principled, considering each move, do my CCT, I play well and am generally not unhappy when I lose. I’m OK with various check mate patterns, usually do well in the endgame and know enough mid-game tactics to execute plans and get the advantage.
My main problem is 1. playing when fatigued/tilted because I just can’t stop. It’s infuriating and something I’m very aware that I do - which only makes it more infuriating.
Playing for “fun/passing time” in a time control where I care about my ELO. Just stupid.
Blundering to disco attacks. I rarely blunder material these days unforced… but I definitely have a blind spot to disco attacks like a pawn push in the center revealing a disco from a sniper bishop.

I am a low ELO scrub and didn’t spot that with seconds on the clock!

It’s like 5 people had a go, and each was worst than the last

Spot on! It really is a beautiful watch. I’m still enjoying an older quartz Hydro whilst saving for one like yours!

New dial, new hands, new bezel, new glass. Even in mint original condition these aren’t worth much, so was a good candidate for a spruce up.

Two sizes too big.

modified ‘96 Seiko Scuba 7002, perfect holiday watch taking pool, sun cream and salt water in its stride

I have an older Waterbury in my collection and wear it often. It has a nice solid feel and weight to it that many affordable watches lack.
The bracelet is fine for the monies but it looks equally at home on a nice leather strap.

Do you have a heatgun or a hair dryer? I had a cassette absolutely stuck solid recently and blasting it with heat until the grease was smoking did the trick

“The work has been completed.”
False.

I size down for PM. Like you, small in everything else I wear.
I’m shorter than you by a few cm, but 65kg with 92 chest, you’ll be fine in XS.

Does my Oceancaster count? Not binding per se, but a masked off strip of the maple top.

Quality chess pieces are weighted. That weight should be at the bottom.

That tune absolutely rips, and your playing is incredible!

That’s a gorgeous watch, hoping to pick one up like that myself soon.

Oh sweet closeted child
You say this like it’s a bad thing
