You be careful with those Geordie lasses if you go out on the toon! I remember a night in Newcastle and I was shocked to the core!
Use your best Jedi mind tricks to turn him from the dark side. With that selection you're off to a great start! Cool picture

: I'm off to the colder and damper area of the country this weekend
: to visit some friends, one of which is a bit of a watch nut (the
: dark side though) and he asked if i'd bring some Heuers up. So i
: have dusted a few off and will be hoping to show him the error
: of his ways. As i said to him recently, Heuers are just so much
: more interesting, colourful, avantegarde, i'm not sure if he can
: be persuaded over the fence but i thought it was worth a try.
: I remember when i first clapped eyes on Monacos and Silverstones at
: a certain shop in Cobham...my initial response was, they're a
: bit whacky, look too big for my wrist. Its only when i tried
: them on that i realised their uniqueness was the attraction and
: what sets them apart.
: Whilst i was getting them ready for the trip i thought i'd take a
: quick snap, obviously not up to the "Gavin" standard,
: but i like to take the occasional picture, so i can see the
: story develop over time. I'm hoping the flight doesn't disrupt
: them too much and the sight of the Geordie lasses don't distract
: me too much, last time i went up they were basically walking
: round in swim costumes and it was December! Not so much grim up
: north as rock hard up north!
: Cheers
