Torpedo

Merry Christmas. I wish you're having a great day with your beloveds.

Not in my family

It looks like Santa's been extremely generous at grawk's this year

Good to know, I didn't realize they had been able to expend their market that much. They're good bikes, and now they look nice too. When I was a child the kid bikes they were making were the fugliest of all the Spanish bunch

Happy Birthday!!!! I can't toast to yours today, but I'll do tomorrow. Have a great one.

I asked where you're from for the bike being made in Spain. It's a known brand among cyclists over here, but not that popular internationally, so I thought there was some chance you were from this side of the pond. Congratulations, it looks very nice

¿Orbea? ¿Chiquillo, tú de dónde eres?

Have a great one!!!

Great Vicki!!!!

I'd get extra warranty on anything using SSD

This is the DR log from the XRCD of Brothers in Arms.

Different master anyway.

Could you please install the DR plugin and calculate the DR values for the tracks on that version? It's not on Pleasurize anymore, but an independent developer

What does she know we don't?

Happy Birthday, mates!!

Good luck Jacob

My opinion on this must be understood from the perspective of someone who lives in a country where fire weapons are allowed only for military/police, sport shooting (usually are small caliber, you need to be federated participating in competitions to have one, and your storing safe is strictly controlled), hunting (same restrictive conditions) and very special risky conditions/professions like jewelry, but get ready if you end up using yours. Crime, as in assaults, robbery and such, here is as high as in any other 1st world country--though it could get worse with this crisis--, Yes, you might feel safer carrying a gun, but you're not allowed to. It's that simple. As in any other place, if you really want to, you can get an illegal weapon without a license for a price, but likely just a pistol, not an assault weapon. Further problem is getting the ammunition The bad guys always have weapons to use, the good ones only if they're professionals. Fortunately we don't have this kind of crimes, perhaps for not having the precedents, or for the difficulties getting a "big" weapon, or could be just cultural, I really don't know. What I know is that to me is quite tranquilizing that if I run into a traffic dispute, or any of those silly situations where you might get involved in violence without not even wanting to, it's extremely unlikely that the guy in front will produce a gun and start shooting me and my family. Problem aren't really the guns but the morons who might get to own and use them. IMHO Controlling that is where the key to prevent these horrible crimes resides. But you have a lot of economical interests and other conditions which make it very hard to implement. I wish you get to avoid something like this happening ever again.

Very nice too. I love those Omega clean dials.

^But this seems to be just for an "additional seat license" which I guess requires you already own a license. Wasn't this to get an offer for Amarra clients friends?

Listening! Finally...

Classy. This Daytona and the Omega Speedmaster were my dream watches when I was a kid. Not that I would mind having either of them now.

Cool, I like it! When are they removing it?

Amazing, isn't it? I think that must be from the late 70's. Unsure it's even released on CD.

No worries mate, I'm an easy boy. However if you want cultural exchange, I could get you this I've been offering this for years, but nobody took it. Just in case you were feeling curious http://youtu.be/qmxfTaucDxc Edited, the media tag made something weird which I noticed on Dusty's reply.

Congrats Al, that's truly awesome and you have full rights to feel proud Get well Haj. Wayne, how do you dare!!!??

Happy Bday!!!
