(Not a *gaudy* Rolex) I've always loved the constant sweep of the second hand of an automatic watch.

David Smith replied to Sydney's discussion 'Misunderstanding Mod'"Well said Alan.
Mod (like most subcultures) was created on the streets, by the people, not by brands & marketing departments. I remember early 80's buying a Levi button down shirt, because it looked great, not because it was by…"
David Smith replied to Sparky's discussion 'How to make my boots/shoes brand new again!'"Charlie - I always give new leather shoes/boots 5-6 layers of spit and polish before wearing them (something I started with my DM's years ago). They'll polish up really well really quickly for years after. Also I now alternate between wax…"

David Smith replied to Andrew Harris's discussion 'Vinyl Or CD's On A Night Out?'"Aldo, I think you misunderstood me. I know **** all about Heavy Metal and hate it too. What I was trying to say downloading a load of tracks wouldn't make me a HM DJ."
David Smith replied to Andrew Harris's discussion 'Vinyl Or CD's On A Night Out?'"Aldo
Your post infers that people who play off laptops or CDs don't know 'how to work a room and

Charlotte & Michael said… - Hey...
Good to see you on here. Tell us, what's happening in Leeds? We love the city but obviously not looking in the right places.
Went to a piss poor Brighton Beach night, met some cool people but two decent songs all night, Cock Pit twice. Both a case of spot the mod and indie muppets a go - go.
