You appear to have very little use for the J key

I was surprised to learn J is the second least used letter in the English language!

It has all the popularity of Q with none of the charm.

Used to do a word game in one of the newspapers with my dad - the alpha puzzle I think? No clues, just guessing letters by frequency or pattern. J almost always came last which he liked as it was my mum's initial.

Q was frequently first, funnily enough.

'Cos the Romans didn't have a 'J'.

Didn't have 'U' or 'W' either but they get more use than poor old 'J'.

The J would get plenty of use in Wales. Jones is the most common Welsh surname, even though there is no J in the Welsh alphabet

Odd innit? Apparently the English version is from 'son of John' and the Welsh version evolved from 'son of Iowan' or similar. Wonder if John evolved from one of the older Welsh names too?

Her in doors bought me this watch case for crimbo.

As I see it, that's an invitation to buy another six watches.

[KungFooBob]

I didn't put the watch I was wearing at the time in it, so it's actually fives watches I'm allowed to buy, maybe.

EDIT:

The wife has just told me that for our wedding anniversary (14th) we should buy watches.

An Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional (for me) and she wants a ladies Breitling Navitimer with a mother of pearl face.

Needs to be a moving one to keep em going (that or sort out the batteries ), the mis-matched times would do my head in.

One of the Seikos is flat. The Ediface is solar powered, but flat.

The others are just all set to the wrong time.

I think that may be worse

[KungFooBob]

My daily is a Citizen Eco-drive with a nice Nato strap (not in the pic), but I occasionally wear the Hamilton Jazzmaster and the MoonSwatch. The ones with the right times. The others I'd just pulled out of my sock drawer for the picture

The Welsh version of John is Ioan, Ieuan or Siôn. I have no idea about the etymology of the names, the origins of Welsh surnames is quite interesting but probably takes a watch thread too far off topic

China's finest £22.

I've been watching tbis blokes Youtube output for a while now and quite like it, he's especially good at polishing the scratches out of the cases which takes very experienced hand to eye coordination.
Every once in a while his young kid comes into the room and asks kid questions but all in all I reckon its a pretty chilled setup.

[Taipan]

Saw this on FB and I quite like it!

I wonder how much that cost!
Fine work and dedication

Bought the wife this Roamer Mermaid II, I'm quite taken with the spinny face. It was dirt cheap too.

[Mr. Dazzle]

.It was dirt cheap too.

Because she's worth it, you daft romantic sod.

I've already booked a Valentines B&B stay in Whitby, she's damn lucky to have £119.99 spent on her too!

[Mr. Dazzle]

The one time I went to Whitby the beach was covered in dead jellyfish

Could have been worse, in Skegness its empty chip packets and used vapes.
