Post by: Miss Demeanour on May 06, 2012, 10:57:46 AM
What is the point of all those watches with about 6 different twiddly bits at the side, multiple bevels , oojimmybits and so on ? How many times does anyone actually use them ? , let alone pay the extra hundreds of pounds cos apparently it can do this and that  noooo:

At one time I toyed with the idea of a third sex. It has been hard enough for the race to manage with two, so I decided not to bother.

I just make the odd exception. Julian Clary, for example. And the Pope of course..

I confess that that was an experiment which went badly wrong. I have tried to confine them to Scotland.

YouTube - The Goon Show - What Time Is It Eccles -.Flv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tjHlFPTwVk#)

I have posted it before and make no excuses for posting it again.....

I have the same problem with watches as I do with handbags, they have to be 'just right' I had been watchless for a while, or rather working watchless for a while until recently when I found what I thought was one that was 'just right' bollix is it. I can only tell what time the bloody thing says in certain lights, any other time, although I know not what time I can't see where the hands are and then when I have squinted and rotated my wrist and finally thought that I could tell the time do I realise that what I thought was the big hand was in fact the second hand.

It never occurred to me that you could get a left handed variety. I fear there is no hope.  noooo:

Karmic balance, wimmin are allowed to have loads of handbags and pairs of shoes. We men just picked something more practical.  whistle:

Noooooo, we know exactly what they do we just don't tell you. Its the same principle as the contents of handbags. Men have no idea of what goes in them or just how they can hold so much crap. We/you arent meant to know.  whistle:
