About time...

A bit old hat I know, as Swatch's (still fairly new) color codes range has had a good couple of months to sell out of every variety by now, since being heavily plastered across the ad pages of Dazed & Confused... However, somewhat luckily I managed to track down a stockist, and subsequently have taken possession of my second one today, a lovely cherry berry, and I stand by just how essential these watches at the moment! They are a decent price, pretty well made, tell the time (shock horror!), and... they just seem to offer something a bit different!

Swatch needed to re-ignite their hallmarked quality with something... From this it's clear that they decided some adrenaline and jelly babies should do the job - an injection of youthful spontaneity! Finding their playful side, the (boring!?) Swiss have reacted, and successfully so! With this range, the choice is yours. Whether you go for a shiny, gleaming time piece, or one of the more subtle matt options available, one thing is sure, it's good to keep with the times!

Forever.

It seems sad that the selfishness of Brian - all bedded up - left his (more hardy/rugged, but at the same time very vulnerable) younger brother Dennis to flounder about. He led a life of ups and downs, which was ultimately later dictated by the the overuse of substances. 5 broken marriages later, and a realisation that there was no money left - it's teary that such a character had little choice but drink himself into a coma each day - with not even his closest friends being able to straighten him out?! A tragic loss, but at least this song written and sung by Dennis affirms some of the beauty that is in life... Just a thought!
