Build a life size R2-D2

I was having a bit of a surf on the net the other day and I thought that I would revisit an old favourite of mine …Star Wars. The subject has become bigger than ever with Jedi now becoming a religion. The things that people make are incredible. People make their own Stormtrooper costumes and if you are tall enough you can make your own Vader out fit. But one thing did gram my attention…………… Build you own life size R2-D2.

This really grabbed my attention as my son is coming up to that age where with a bit of luck he will get into Star Wars. I think that I could make one of these. The question is would I have enough time to……………… Hmmmmmmm got me thinking now. Take a look at the video below.

Pretty cool I would say!

My sons first cinema experience!

It was a big day for me on Saturday! Something that I had never really thought about! My son’s first cinema experience! We went and saw monsters inc in 3D. He is coming up to four now so I thought it was time for him to go. Not a bad film at all. But I sure wish that it was Star Wars. I think that the first film that I saw was Star Wars, but it may have been Bamby. The film was verging on two hours so I expected him to get a bit restless which he did. One thing that I have noticed about the cinema is the price of the whole experience. For a family of three and a spot of lunch you won’t get much change out of £100.

Looking forward to going to see the new Star Wars films that JJ is making! And for the toys!

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver

Ok I have a clear winner in my men’s fragrance search. Tom Ford Grey Vetiver. I have worn it now every day for a week and I must say I love it. It is unique! It smells great nad it lasts all day. I have tested nearly 100 men’s aftershaves and fragrances so I know what I am talking about.

What I like about Tom Ford Grey Vetiver! The first thing that has intrigued me about this fragrance is that I have never smelt anyone else wearing it. Nor is it available from general stores. This gives it an edge right from the start. After putting it on an letting it breathe for an hour, you great a rich, crisp, classy professional smell. Just what I have been lookingall this time for. A classy mens aftershave

Classy Mens Aftershave

Classy men's aftershave

Ok so what is a classy men’s aftershave/fragrance?

Over the past few months I have been testing and smelling men’s aftershave to find something a bit special. The search was hard and a little confusing. At first sniff many of the men’s aftershaves smelt the same (very lemony). Because of this I decided to find some that were off the shelf.

I have chose three to start of with. Creed Irish Tweed. A favorite of JFK. diptyque L'Ombre dans l'Eau and Tom Fords Grey Vetiver.

Here are my views on these highly recommended fragrances for men

Creed Irish Tweed: very good! Put a bit of it on the back of my hand and it didn’t bowl me over straight away, but after about an hour I had a fresh smell that I kept coming back to. I certainly have not come across anyone wearing this before

Verdict: initial thought 7/10 but after some time 8/10 and well worth a try. Manley @ classy

L'Ombre dans l'Eau: This one I waited with baited breath for. I expected a lot from this fragrance. I placed some on the back of my hand! It certainly was different. I smelt of roses! Not really my cup of tea but I can see why it is popular.

Verdict 7/10

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver: Tom Ford was a designer at Gucci and I bought this on recommendation. This one was my cup of tea. It has a similar smell to Creed Irish Tweed and I kept going back to it. Unique, crisp and classy I like this one.

Verdict 9/10

That’s all for the moment! But I do intend on making a list of classy men’s fragrances so keep popping back.

Rolex Submariner - The best watch in the world!

The Rolex Submariner! The greatest watch ever made. Bond had one and Bond knows best. The Submariner is a divers watch resistant to 300m. I first met my love on the wrist of  a car dealer in the early eighties. He would leave his watch as a deposit for a car as many dealers did........ How cool! What I like about the submariner is it's pure bulkiness combined with it's absolute mechanical perfection. It really has no place in every day life , but that's what makes it stand out so much. The Rolex submariner for me is iconic a bit like an American president. Cost let's not talk about cost.if you need the ask the price you can't afford it.let me leave you with leave you with a few pictures to salivate over
