    I'm one of the few who doesn't have an issue with you, pipe down.
    No offence meant. Hard to write humour sometimes, should have used smilies I suppose.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    I quite like the sense of irony which comes from a thread being started at the wrong time, on a forum populated by watch nerds.

    Many thousands of pounds worth or watches, but we still cant tell the time....

    That is plain silly.
    Someone in a different time zone started a thread a few minutes early.
    Non irony there.
    No need to hyperventilate.

    Agree with this.

    Yes, but this is a Forum which currently has three "RIP Sean Connery" threads running.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    I opened this thread on a whim just now and was shocked to find I had started a brouhaha! Oh my. I think I was flogged for good reason! I get pissed when some wanker tries to start the thread early.

    Living in San Diego, I'm eight hours behind you. My "Friday" begins at 4:00 p.m. each Thursday. Last Thursday, when it got to be 4:45 and no one had yet started THE THREAD, I reluctantly dove in to give more reticent members an opportunity to start posting. I actually dislike starting the Friday thread...and I guess this is one of the reasons why! No worries, I'm a big boy and can absorb any arrows shot my way...especially when I deserve those arrows!

    Sod's law. Clocks went back in the UK a week before North America. You picked the one week to start the thread when you were seven hours behind the UK--any other week and you'd have been in the clear starting it when you did.

    True! But any other week would not go 45 minutes without a starter thread.
