5th November is Guy Fawkes night in the UK. It is a day that has been celebrated for centuries. Whether you celebrate it because the assasination plot failed or whether because it represents a reminder to government that absolute power will always be chal...

Will you win this week as well?! This time I would actually say yours is a winner, due to its history! HAGWE Blomman

are you happy to place a wager on that?

 
 By: Baron - Mr Red : November 3rd, 2016-12:26

So we are to believe that others have a chance?

 
 By: TheMadDruid : November 3rd, 2016-13:40
You know, I'm a bit disappointed. When I saw "Baron" starting the festivities I started looking forward to seeing you win all three categories. And I know you can do it. Anyway, good luck.

I was burglarized on the 18th of January, 2011. A friend of mine, who is also member of our community, contacted me and offered me to attend a London GTG. I came, and he offered me this watch. you imagine how moved I was... And still am! Best, Nicolas

That guy is killer ;) :) [nt]

I got this watch November 13, 2015. Very sad day, I know. So let me explain. France was not defeated that night. Changed, perhaps, but it endures. Cause for celebration. So this watch is a Celebratory watch for me despite the date it was obtained. And, of...
