·If your void is starting somewhat bizarre threads and posting comments in existing threads that don’t seem to make much sense, I’d say that you’re doing just fine. 43 posts since you joined OF on Monday of this week. Post farming are we?

Because if so, probably it would never feel complete. There would always be something more rare/special and expensive no matter what you have. And if you eventually get every piece you want, then I don't know how it will feel. Maybe you will just become disinterested in watches altogether. Or maybe you will start looking into handmade ones, therefore unique ones.
I thought I would be happy with just 45KS and 45GS, but now I am thinking the dials are too plain, just white... There's always something more, isn't there?

·I understood you instantly... basically wondering why you are hoarding more and more watches and if you will ever feel satisfied or just think of the next watch you want and how it's so much better than everything you have so far, so it's justified to want it? And this distracts you from the worries in life. Is that what you're implying though?

·Spot on ............. and deep! Isn't that what addiction and obsession is? Only other watch collectors would understand. I used to know a few trainspotters. They are really weird. My mate who was a judo instructor tried morris dancing and couldn't hack it!

·Actually that is kinda cool. Don’t listen to Rogan I’m always curious why he is so popular maybe it’s the eclectic nature of the information. However the info provided I’ve heard before but sometimes you hear things presented differently it gets through I’m gonna steal that “eyes half open” part for work.

·It made me think of the youngins I work with who are running the streets, dealing drugs and just livin that life. They grow up in that atmosphere so to them it’s kinda like “the world expects them to be like that” their world that is. That’s when the eyes half closed comes into play. These guys aren’t inherently bad I don’t think they fully grasp the chaos they cause in their own and others lives. I’m gonna see how I can work it in but so many of these guys have unrealized talent and potential it’s a shame those streets grab such a hold.

·tried morris dancing and couldn't hack it!
One has not truly lived until they tried morris dancing. There is something about jingling like a telephone waving hankies about. Never did get as far as the sticks and swards though. Hope they were not actually hacking things.
Personally though I prefer the more sedate Jane Austin style country dance. Although a spirited Sir Roger de Coverly can really get the heart rate up.
Waltzes as polkas though seem so last century...
