  TAG is back with a special edition watch and handily has managed to exemplify everything that is wrong with the watch industry. All that is carried over into the new TAG Heuer Formula 1 Special Edition, which has a 43mm… Read More ›

• McGST Podcast Episode 49 (My Princess)

  By Shaun on March 3, 2021 • ( 0 )

  

  I intended to talk to Alice about the way we use casual sexism in speech, but we needed up discussing gender fluidity, gender-specific toys for children, gay / straight / bisexual, men and women, fathers and daughters, and mums and… Read More ›

  By Shaun on March 3, 2021 • ( 3 )

  Queen: Rock Tour has been released and after Bob tipped me off I gave it a try. It is so well made and great fun to play. Yes, they may be the best band who ever lived, but I still… Read More ›

  A Vancouver Island senior is six figures richer after parting with a rare Rolex wristwatch that was once instrumental in his brief but successful career as an octopus wrestler. The Rolex Explorer, circa 1953, sold at a New York auction… Read More ›

• The Heritage Memphis Lady

  By Shaun on March 2, 2021 • ( 0 )
