Tomorrow I’ll have to go for a simulator check again. I wrote a blog before that I’ve worked at a Simulator company before called CAE. I think that is a good way to start this blog by telling a little bit about this before I write about the check itself. I worked as an operator …
..Today I’m going to compare to watches that are actually not comparable. Nevertheless, I’ll try to do so. Most of you know that I have an addiction. WATCHES! Yes, here we go again. I wrote so much about this before but I do it because I like to do it and today’s candidates are the: …
