Description:
From bestselling writer, podcaster and English language virtuoso Gyles Brandreth, a magical tour of our mother tongue in pithy 60-second instalments.




As fans of Just a Minute know, the key to the game is knowing your way around the English language- how it works, how it's evolved, and how words connect, often in surprising ways. When it comes to the English language (and Just a Minute), Gyles Brandreth has seen it all - and now he's ready to put you through your linguistic paces, to become a Just a Minute expert yourself.




In this wildly entertaining A to Z of verbal acrobatics, Gyles takes you on a whirlwind tour of our mother tongue - from the origins of words and correct grammar and punctuation, to similes, euphemisms and record breaking tongue twisters (try getting your mouth around floccinaucinihilipification!). An idiosyncratic blend of history, word play, anecdote, and hyperbole, all in 60-second instalments, this is Gyles Brandreth at his word-perfect, Just-a-Minute best. You'll never mix your metaphors again...

Lovely watch i like it a lot i usually never wear watches but this one is exceptional classy and luxurious at a good price. Packaging it also pretty neat comes with instructions and additional wrist pieces for preferred sizing. The best part is the gold color and the ability to be able to tell the Date day and number how cool can't get better than that. Watch feels comfortable and i always see people starring and complimenting. Overall extremely happy purchased over 1 year ago still looking amazing gold dip hasn't rubbed off that much.

Quality
The hands and markers are not luminous. I wish the case size was 48mm. But a very nice watch by Nixon.

Great Watch.
Color: Blue Sunray
The watch is overall great. Comes in great packaging and very easy to resize.Tells time pretty accurately once you wind it perfectly. Almost all scratches and scuffs are shown but I would bet that once you buff them out with a polishing rag itll look as good as new. The best feature for me is the glow in the hard hands. I have seen newer models that light up the entire head but since this is an older model, the glow in the dark arms will do. Perfect for a gift, the quality is great!
