After the third beep it will be half past eleven.

I lost my watch, my computer won’t boot, the battery’s dead in my cell phone, same for my truck, the tube blew out in my TV, I haven’t set the time on DVD, VCR, microwave or various digital clocks since the power went out yesterday, the grandfather clock needs winding and I can’t find the key and the clock/temp sign at the Fire station shorted out after the heavy rain last night.

So what time is it?

I’m lucky re the bin thing, my neighbour is a complete freak and puts his out early the day before it’s due to be collected, so I know when and what colour bin to put out.

He also cuts the grass in his socks & washes his car when it rains.

Ah, but if we decimalised time we’d be just as happy, i mean what’s wrong with 100 minutes in an hour, think how much more we’d get done…

Hey, that would probably sort the recesion out as well – put the public sector on the new clock and pay them an hourly rate!

Alarming but true (I rest my questionable case!)

TT – As long as you remember that the throb of the knob is constant?

Lafsword – I’m getting to that stage myself. The real reason I carry a watch is to remind myself what day of the week it is. That is important, as I have to know when to put the bins out for collection.

Mick – Do you thing that if we all ignored it, that it would stop?

Time is just a human invention that deludes us into thinking we know what’s going on!

TT – I’m about to turn 40, do you think it’s an age thing?

I once knew a guy who claimed that there were only 2 times that mattered, Daytime & Nightime, said he never required a watch as he didn’t go out in the daytime & at nightime he went home when the pub closed.
He never worked, never looked stressed, was always relaxed and rested, I hated the prick.

I no longer wear a watch, don’t need it anymore, everywhere I look I see the time, a constant reminder of how much work there is and of how little time there is to do it. Clocks on the wall, clocks on the computer, mobile phone, in the car, every fucking place I look. Maybe the lazy bollox was right afterall !!

Need IEEE 1588, that’ll get you down to nano-seconds, and light only travels a foot a nano-second (in free space). Should give good weapons accuracy.
