For a young lady

Not quite finished yet, but it feels good.

And at the Guthrie Theatre no less.

"What my colleague is getting at," Baron said, "is we're facing a wave of St. Johns. A bit of an epidemic of eschatologies. We live," he said, too flatly for any humour to be audible, "in the epoch of competing ends."

My eBay Fu is strong.

Some fucker added THIRTEEN QUID to my auction in the last 30 seconds, fortunately I saw this coming and added 17 to my maximum bid in the last 35 seconds. Motherfucker. You. Lose.

So, outbid them and their paltry £51, for a final price of £52. Still a good deal, since I saw a pair of lesser SR60s go for £48 the other day and a second pair of SR60s currently stands at £43 with two hours to go. But, alas, up til seconds earlier it was going for £38, which would have been legendary.

Edit: Tother pair of SR60s went for £44. I'ma watch prices rationalise.

Currently assuming UK average of 40-50 for the SR60s and 50-60 for the SR80s used on eBay. US price: £48 for the the SR60s new, UK price for same £85. Fucking Unbelievable. That said, I saw a pair of 125s go for £55 the other week, though they were in pretty scabby condition. Now that'd have been a coup. Had I known how shit'd turn out I'd have pressed and won them.
