Many cities in England & around the World refuse to accept Scottish money as legal tender although Scottish banks are some of the biggest businesses on the planet, this tends to niggle ma wee ribs a bit, Scottish notes are legal tender WORLDWIDE, and should not be refused.

Just imagine this too. Some places in United States will not accept Canadian money.....don't even know what it is! lol

....yes, when our government leaders have better health coverage than the tax payers

Age discrimination runs rampant. People start to explain something to me as though I am a nine year old. As soon as I say something such as "Got it, got it", they will quit being so condescending. I think the white hair indicates that a thorough explanation, very slowly, and in great detail is required.   lol

Wow thanks Ben. I didn't realize that I had 'wasted' so much time on here! lol

Not me personally. Not even when kids started being bussed from the other side of the tracks. There were a lot of fights but everybody seemed to like me. Well, I was never jumped. I’m sure my whiteness has been some sort of privilege for me in some ways but none of them noticeable.....

There have been a few issues here and there through the years. There usually were because of my heritage. 

My watch obsessions come and go in waves. One of those minor obsessions has been De Bethune, with a very futuristic horological design and incredible metallurgical skills that make it hard to ignore, even if, for a long time, it link felt outside my comfort zone because of how bold the brand was. Regardless, I've always watched from the corner of my eye, warming link up to the watches and secretly wishing I'd someday link be bold enough to wear a big blue titanium watch on my wrist.

Unlike the original self-winding tourbillon, the sapphire caseback allows you to appreciate the mix of classic V-angles and modern traits tires finishing on the mainplate and bridges that replace the link traditional Côtes de Geneve and link – of course – the 50th-anniversary open-worked oscillating weight link in rhodium-toned 22-carat pink gold.

I recently backed up that belief by purchasing an link early-2000s Leman Ultra-Slim, from HODINKEE Pre-Owned. Four months link later, I'm still absolutely smitten with my new-to-me watch, but I'll admit that I never expected a link Leman to be the first Blancpain to make its way into my collection. I assumed it would be a Fifty Fathoms dive watch, because – like many collectors today – that's the product I most associate with Blancpain.

Yes link ossuary artifacts are inherently morbid but the point here is to turn that natural instinct on its link head. Something that should be weird scary and gross is instead associated with free spirit and rebellion which echoes the RM link anti-conformist spirit perfectly.
