Scramble Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 The woes of not investing in a watch. Firstly, I woke up this morning as usual by my alarm clock which read 7:00. In walking to the other side of my room, the clock on the wall now informs me it is 6:00. Down the stairs I go and into the bathroom. 7:00 again. So then, once ready, I leave for school. The time reads 8:25 and I get into the car…the time is now 7:25. Once at school, in the foyer the time tells 8:35 but once I’m at the centre point of the school, the clock on the wall there states: 3:35. So, I get to my form room where that clock reads 3:10 (the time school ends) because apparently some members of my class thought it would be funny to set it to that time and then take the batteries out to see if our teacher would let us go home Failing that, bell rings and in lesson one it is the normal time of 9:05 Lessons and clocks seem to alternate between whether or not BST is in effect, I left lesson one at 10:05 but apparently at lesson two its 9:05 again And then there was lesson three where apparently it was 10:50 – all lesson long End of the day and the centre point clock is now reading 5:10 and the second hand has stopped moving. Once home, the time is 3:40. Upstairs to drop my bag off, it’s 2:40. Mother informs me that she has to pick my sister up from choir at 6:00. I am asked to remind her. So, what is the probability that she will get picked up on time? Ahhh…you’ve got to love BST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scramble Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 I haven't heard of that one, Egluntyne but I recognised the style so I take it that this one is done by the same woman? It's the same name..it's just I've only ever looked at the one with a chicken on Oh dear JJ, time to buy that watch I think I think so too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 My watch stopped working a couple of weeks ago, and I decided to see whether I could live without one. Computers always have clocks on, my work phone has a clock on (although confusingly, it's not the same as the computer) and I'm never without my mobile phone. So far, I haven't missed it much - so I'd say don't bother investing in a watch! I think it's been liberating, and I haven't been late for things, (at least no later than I usually am ).

Old Speckled Hen Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I read somewhere that a lot of people no longer own watches as they have their mobiles with them all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 We bought our ES a watch a couple of years back, he's never worn it. Says he doesn't need having a mobile so I wouldn't be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 As long as I don't have to be Christopher Biggins. Now there lies a story - I once danced with him at a party - he's a fantastic dancer, for a bigger chap. Didn't twig who is was until someone pointed it out.

chickenNutter Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 As long as I don't have to be Christopher Biggins. I now have a vision in my head of Major Bloodknock in stockings and suspenders with a feather boa. I am trying hard to rid myself of this vision.
