Might as well have a buffoon for PM. At least he'll give us all a laugh.

We all know the illuminati are pulling the strings anyway, right?

I would hate to think what results came back!

My gripe is lane discipline. Coming up to a roundabout, three lanes onto it. Left for left, middle for straight on and as you can guess, right for right. Me in the centre and car on the right enter the roundabout. Nugget in the left decides he wants to go straight and cuts me up. How hard can it be to make sure you are in the correct lane???!!! :mad:

Insomnia with brief interludes of nightmare disturbed sleep where I wake myself up screaming.

Followed by working on a Sunday and the trains are delayed, again.

God help anyone who annoys me today. At least I'm on holiday all next week.

I really don't get who wakes up on a Saturday morning in August, looks at the 20+ degree sunshine, pulls on their shorts and thinks, today is a good day for buying a holly wreath.

I was clearing up in my office yesterday and found ten bags of Cadbury's Mini Eggs I'd forgotten about, this means we haven't officially finished Easter yet let alone Hallowe'en and definitely not Christmas.

Left handed people wear their watches on the right wrist.

Another of my gripes.
I can't wear one because they say I have too much electricity in my body???
All I know is that all clocks quit running (or become inaccurate) if I am around them very much.
Cheap watches last no more than an hour or two, expensive ones usually 2 to 3 days.

I can see the headlines now.
Today marks the first execution at the Tower of London since the 1600's when an American tourist ruined the famous Big Ben clock at Westminster.
Officials are calling it a blatant terrorist attack and claim beheading is the only punishment terrorists understand.

Bibio, have you tried a Seiko kinetic. Every movement of your arm charges the battery so it shouldn't run out of charge, even on you. Lasts about 3 days when not worn but as soon as you wear it, it starts again. I've had mine about 11 years and only had to replace the battery once. I wear it every day.

Could also try a perpetual movement watch. No electronics, and its self winding through natural movement of the body.

Stop your jibber-jabber & cure those gripes!
From a paper dated 16 March 1762 ( slightly before my time:
" Jackson's Tincture
For rheumatism, gravel, stone, choleric or griping of the guts, or any such windy disorder. Likewise burns, scalds, bruises, strains old ulcers or swellings of any kind it cures to admiration. "
Sounds like everyone should have this in their toolbox, together with a Fixerpeg.

Bill, Big Ben is simply a big bell housed in the Elizabeth tower of the houses of parliament. People tend to call the tower and or clock big Ben but the name was given to the great bell and misused. I doubt a bit of electrickory could stop a bell ringing if it is hit hard enough. So your head is safe for now.

As for executions at the tower the last happened in 1941 by firing squad.

I am worse with mechanical watches than I am with battery powered ones.
Self winding or not.

I've got a Seiko kinetic with the power saving option. If you don't wear it for a day it stops the hands to save power. When you pick it up again the hands whizz round to the correct position. It will keep the right time for several months in power saving mode.
