But that watch isn't from 1931. So they've kept an obsolete design that only serves to render the device itself useless.

You know this isn't true. A design or an aesthetic function can serve any number of purposes.

But let's hear it wub, what were the rules regarding watches in the Saddlery Rules of 1931. I'll give you 10 minutes.

fuck functional design. I love nice, but ultimately useless stuff.

I can only find between Jan 1931 to Oct 1931, will that suffice?

[nowaysj]

Yeah!

No mention, but there was a special announcement from Salters' Balls;

CONCERNING SALTERS' POLO
STICKS AND BALLS
The many and varied types of canes
suitable for Polo Sticks make it
impossible to standardise any one
particular model and to say that it
is the Stick for the Game . The
Stick which may suit one player
will not suit another, and it is
generally found that Players have
their own proved favourites.
SALTERS .specialise in making
Polo Sticks to Clients' personal
requirements and guarantee to
copy any Stick as accurately as it is
possible .. m::
A trial order is solicited and we ask
intending Clients to send along
their favourite Stick now so that the
canes can be selected from the
thousands now being prepared for
next Season's orders.
CLUB SECRETARIES are asked
to note that SALTERS' Polo Balls
—both Willow and Bamboo—are
selected by the leading Clubs for
their uniformity in size, weight and
proved reliability.
SALTERS' new pattern INDOOR
POLO BALL is now being used
extensively in the U .S .A. If you
are interested in this new branch of
the game please write for particulars

The balls used in the U .S .A. are Salty, I can confirm.

[syrup]

fucking bugs decide to settle down in my rice >:(

[Liam92]

Just applied for jobseekers, ugh, fuck

[ezza]

trying to come up with a dissertation topic is looooooong

i thought i had one but now ive been told its too vague

anyone think of any idea i can do which is about the differences in signal or sound between analog and digital?

just writing 10,000 words about what each one technically is, is too vague

[Reese_Liar]

Maybe you could take a more historical perspective ie. the development throughout history? Or find some aspects of analog that has been forgotten or neglected in the transition to digital? I'm not that well versed in the topic but it sounds like it should be doable

[syrup]

oh yeah and the bridge or whatever you call the upper part of the headphones has cracked on mine .

fucking great

Sat down for my morning shit, only got a blast of giant brassy ass tuba. All those saw waves hurt.

Sometimes the room draw works out. We did high card draw to see who got the penthouse bedroom in our Ibiza villa last year. I lucked out and got it, but my mate (who did the majority of the leg work booking the villa) got the small bedroom next to the downstairs toilet.

[Molzie]

"lucked out" implies that you didn't get the room..

[RKM]

its controversial all round, might offer to take it wack a double mattress on the floor and take the extra money for new duubz

and booo cheapskates in sohos gone forever

[skimpi]

how big is the single? we left my mate with a pure box room lol

[RKM]

its a right fucking box, theres a single bed, tiny desk on wheels and a cupboard, between that there's room to stand and little else, built very much along the lines of 'monastic cell'

[Molzie]

the fairest way to decide rooms when flatting is an arm wrestling contest. The strongest gets first pick of room and so on
