I've posted this elsewhere, so apologies if you've just seen it, but I've just come across a quote from the author Tom Paine (1737-1809), which includes the line ..... "One step above the ridiculous makes the sublime [again]"

It strikes me that "Sub-Lime" is a good alternative name for the green sub

Launch Mini · 29 March 2006, 07:15 AM

That works for me.
If the blue/red GMT can be a Pepsi, we now have the Sub-Lime

Spencer · 29 March 2006, 08:35 AM

Sprite, 7-UP?

I am a fan of calling it the LV, though most people don't know what that means. Maybe that is why I like it!

Kinda weird actually. It is overrated, it is better to stay in that "state of mind" that we are used to.

I think LV is a nice way to call it!

Launch Mini · 29 March 2006, 11:08 AM

mbogo · 29 March 2006, 11:28 AM

How about "Verdi-great".

Yoda signature model ?? I'm gonna need a cane by the time my AD gets one...

Launch Mini · 29 March 2006, 12:52 PM

There seems to be plenty of Star Wars fans here.
Funny nobody has picked up on the JJ connection yet.
Jar Jar Binks ( aka JJ BKL) , so close it's uncanny

Normally Yoda is patient and calm (and green, old & wrinkly) - but it's reaching that point where I'm going to have to whip it out and show em I still mean business...

Perhaps you guys would like to share with a newbie exactly what LV stands for, unless I'm not allowed in the "club" because I'm not that keen on sports watches with a black dial

OMG, Brian, have you been hanging around mailman too much. I hate to think what you're going to "whip out". You need to check out his baby picture thread to see what I'm talking about.

Pretty boring : just french for green bezel as far as I know: Lunette Vert

(French because Geneva is, of course, in the french speaking area.)

Thanks for that Nick wasn't sure if it was Luncheon Voucher, think they use to be green!

LOL! Funnily enough, I never had a luncheon voucher from work, but I have had a Rolex from work (some time ago now - those were the days :

)!

(No, I was never in the city!
