LOL! What, your going to try your 'work' on them? :p

Canadians are pacifist until you put them an ice rink. :p

Just don't go drinking with Canadians, you'll regret pretty quick. :p

That is one advantage, you can drink in Canada now. Most 21 year old Canadians have two years in you. :p well they have more but I'm going by legal age.

yes I will ill give them the ol sahib treatment :grincry: ill just have to avoid hockey, that's something sahib doesn't mess with :amaze: and if that doesn't work ill buy rounds and quickly slip away with my 830 ;)

Now I'm curious what the ol sahib treatment is... :p

The last part sounds more like the sahib I'd expect, minus the buying rounds. :p

Tbh, I'm not that into watches, at all. If I liked them though, my favorite would have to be the Moto 360.

I'm distracted enough, why do I need more? And my phone does everything the watch does, except monitoring my heartbeat constantly...

I'm into watches, but of a different sort.

I collect antique Railroad Standard pocket watches. Railroad chronometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I like all things related to railroads/trains.

My ringtone is a Southern Pacific 6-chime steam whistle grade crossing signal.

I also have the Train Simulator 2014 game on Steam.

When you make your way over to the EU you should look into this - Bradshaw's Guide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There's a show here on BBC (I think) of a guy who's an ex-politician running around using both the guides. It's rather interesting.

Beside antique pocket watches, I also like fountain pens. I collect antique/vintage/modern fountain pens. My favourite modern pen is a replica of an antique: the Conklin Mark Twain Crescent. It is a replica of the pen Mark Twain used, with the same filling mechanism.

If there's one thing I've yet to get around to doing is reading anything by Mark Twain. I should really do that.

I think the reason I became interested in railroads and pocket watches is because of the local connection. Webb C Ball was the first Chief Time Inspector for the railroads, and his jewelry store was located in Cleveland, Ohio. Webb C. Ball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have an Elgin-Ball watch model 333, ca 1903. It is the oldest pocket watch I own, and it still keeps accurate time.
