Wear watches, what now?

People are afraid to wear watches and jewellery when walking down the street according to Farage.

I think Nigel comes from a time when people thought digital watches were pretty nifty.

Yes, that'll be why there is currently a revival of watch wearing.

His outfit was definitely channeling the Duke of Windsor. Very expensive looking window pane check jacket. Not the only thing he has in common with the royal fascist.

I am actually a bit worried. Farage is a really good communicator and people who are of a certain disposition politically will continue to fall for his lies.

Starmer is so unpopular that he will turn this country into a populist communist dicatorship 😱

Am I doing it right?

Good start. You’ll have to keep it up though.

I’m deeply grumpy because it’s cold and I hate the cold. In a proper ‘pushes me towards actual depression if it goes on for more than a few days’ way, not just not liking it a bit. The weather app is giving me the fear.
I’m going to de-Christmas today as my granny said you should - you take the luck of the old year into the new otherwise apparently and while my personal luck has been fine this year I feel the world needs all the help it can get.
As an aside, I wore a watch and jewellery in London after 10pm earlier this year. Not only that, but I did it as a solo female in Whitechapel where people weren’t the same colour as me. And I wasn’t even slightly nervous.

Yes, especially amongst young men. I presume influencers started it.

As an exam invigilator, I can verify this.

ETA. Those pesky exam invigilators in the hall taking our watches.

Absolutely agree.

The nuggets issue we have is that people will just go “ok Nige” rather then stop and think how they can bite at a cancelled election 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Must make sure I pop into The Rose for a pint next time I'm in town. DS2 often used to go there when he lived here.

Tommy's pathetic friends are leaving bad reviews on Trip Advisor.

I bet they cheer on the pub landlords banning Starmer and co., though.

Piggywaspushed · 31/12/2025 14:32

Yes, it's very very obvious on Trip Advisor!

I quite happily cheer for them too, makes it easy to avoid.

My thoughts exactly, fecking traitorous grifting low life.

It is beyond embarrassing how Farage is a pitch perfect example of what a spiv from days of yore was. He looks like one. Dresses like one. And talks like one.

He even wears the Arthur Daley costume
