    ^^^^^
    If you are after an old skool ale...no hints of orange or flowers...then this is a highly drinkable beer....Would love to try it from the tap or in a long neck but from the can is highly drinkable....Provided the price doesn't get out of hand, it'll be going on the Oddjob list for beers to buy whilst available.

    Seiko offers the best blend between quality and value IMO.

    Dorman Makita made in Germany.
    Its might be the saw ive been waiting for with 61 cc of wood ripping power!
    I heard a guy say that his crew calls it "the beast saw".

    That piece of shit Stihl has tried my patience for too many years and im done with it finally.
    Time to move on.

    I have Dewalt cordless tools at home but Makita is awesome too. Ive used them at work for many years and they never let me down and they are professional grade.
    I bet they will work great for you.

    Nice. Do you buy these new or on the second hand market? I started a small watch collection when I was much younger and working in the Industy. Mind you I was just buying what I liked and was within my meagre budget. Couple of seikos, citizens and certinas.

    All new , just have to know where to buy .
    The Seiko modded watches I'm just getting into now , is due to an old friend who puts them together .
    Buying second hand has not worked for me as , if they need a service = might as well buy a new watch

    Do you have recommended sites? I just got a couple of cheaper quartz chronograph for my brothers birthday via ebay sellers in Japan.. Cheap but eye catching.

    Starbuy for the Seiko addiction.
    AliExpress for the Seiko mod stuff.
    But you have to be careful with the specs and find the right sellers.
    I find it easier just to buy of my mate who puts them together.

    Everyone has an opinion and mine is just one of many that might challenge.... :) ..... but I love my growing set of makita tools. I don't use them commercially. But they get a LOT of use around the house, especially the angle grinder with cut off disks.
