Quite an impressive piece Sam! I'll try to find some time for it in between two VC's and a Jaeger Lecoultre service...I'm a very busy man...

Hey, Sam! Nice hats in your green pic :)

Swear you also had a green Boston cap. I'm losing it 8^\

Car insurance and tax might be expensive here but it's got NOTHING on what has not long became law in Italy.

Italy now has a 'HorsePower Tax' where by any car that has north of 248bhp is charged 20 euro per BHP. So using the 730BHP Ferrari F12 for example means and Italian owner will pay an extra 8500 a year!! Here that same car would cost around £1460. Ok so a bit of an extreme example i know but just filter that down to your powerful Merc's BMW's etc and you can see it's not so bad here afterall, but you can bet your last penny that the Goverment here and in other countries will be looking at the very same measure with a keen eye.

You did switch. Really thought I wigged. :) Using tapatalk I can't tell if a list had been edited. But I was certain I saw a green lid. Then I wondered, and searched, thinking another thread. Thanks for the post Sam.

Matt...I like that shirt. Great color and goes good with the dark buttons.
Oh...nice watch ;)

I love this thread!

I am very impressed by the quality and nice things I've seen.

I am still very young in enjoying the time and season of nice things, having spent a short decade gambling on this season.


I do love the things I use, and try to always buy quality and luxury in order to enjoy and not regret. Life is too short for a Dell, unless it's an XPS, IMO.


So, here is my swag. The silver is native to the office desk, the rest is mostly with me during the day, cept the Swingline stapler, an all-metal classic I bought myself back in 1998, which still works solid today.

My pen, though many have been far finer in this thread, is one of my two grail pens - I love the thin pen, having thin fingers. BUT, I am more enamored by the BROAD TIP BALL POINT PEN refil that Cross does. It fits in any cross-designed pen, but it is amazing.

It's far smoother, thicker (though great for writing small with light touches, does a good thin line, painted on), great ink, doesn't wash off the paper even if FOLDED IN THE LAUNDRY (the blue and red lines of the notebook paper washed off, but not the notes I took; clear as day).

The pen itself, besides the refil, is somewhat not as important. I'd take any cross-style pen for this refil, and I've used a lot of roller-ball and steel and gold tip old-school styles, and this is my cake.

The pen is solid sterling silver. I love the color of silver. It's very reserved. My grail pen is the Cross solid 18k, but it's 850 dollars and loud in the courtroom. Pen moves a lot, silver works great. And, I love the light color of silver, so I'm planning a silver dial in the future.

And the computer! A fully-loaded macbook air, which is great because the battery works for six to eight hours, a full day of court and meetings! Love it. Used to use IBM x series laptops, ultraportables, and hae this macbook air configured as I want. IT has Mac OS10 and Windows 7 64 Ult, which is usually in parallels, but sometimes for games and stuff I put it right into native Windows.

I have a few edges and rifled tubes that fall into my swag, but I wouldn't to push the gracious rules that restrict such pictorals.
