Don't encourage him.

118157 2005-12-05 17:03:00 Why all the worry about clocks? I have four dedicated clocks plus two watches plus ones on the microwave , the radio. the computer. And they all say something different.
I got up this morning at 4.22 by my bedside clock. Got dressed etc., came downstairs and turned computer on. It said 4.19.
If I go out to my car now it's clock will say somewhere near 5.00. It's still on proper time! My comp now says 6.00.
And who cares? I don't have to catch a bus. And if I did it would probably be running late anyway.

118159 2005-12-05 23:45:00 GRAMS: Various timepieces ticking, chiming and cuckooing. A chicken clucking. Finally a hooter.
Bluebottle: What time is it Eccles?
Eccles: Err, just a minute. I've got it written down on a piece of paper. A nice man wrote the time down for me this morning.
Bluebottle: Ooooh, then why do you carry it around with you Eccles?
Eccles: Welll, um, if a anybody asks me the time, I can show it to dem.
Bluebottle: Wait a minute Eccles, my good man.
Eccles: What is it fellow?
Bluebottle: It's writted on this bit of paper, what is eight o'clock, is writted.
Eccles: I know that my good fellow. That's right, um, when I asked the fella to write it down, it was eight o'clock.
Bluebottle: Well then. Supposing when somebody asks you the time, it isn't eight o'clock?
Eccles: Well den, I don't show it to 'em.
Bluebottle: Ooohhh.
Eccles: [smacks lips] yeah.
Bluebottle: Well how do you know when it's eight o'clock?
Eccles: I've got it written down on a piece of paper.
Bluebottle: Ohh, I wish I could afford a piece of paper with the time written on.
Eccles: Oohhhh.

So there.

118160 2005-12-05 23:54:00 Why is it I can still recall each of those sound effects clearly - when I've no idea what I had for lunch yesterday?

And I just spluttered some of today's - choking with laughter- making the mistake of reading this while eating...
(So not sure whether to say thanks for the memories or not, Graham.
OK... I guess I should.)
