    An exercise bike which has gone back to Amazon because its faulty and a Raymond Weil watch which is also going back (being swapped for a Longines) because I found that I could not see the face to tell the time. The combination of mother of pearl face, silver hands and blue tint in the crystal face made it impossible to see.

    I don't go out very often, and spend a lot of time gaming.
    I never buy new or current games as there's just no need.

    Decided to give up, and haven't had a fag for 12 years.
