What time is it? Watches and horology

Incredible. Glad you're ok.

Thanks, I was young so it was nothing at the time, it'll haunt me later in life i'm sure.

Were you three sheets to the wind?

Alas not, the pain would haven't have been so bad then. I was clipped by my friends wheel which sent me flying.

This is what it looked like at the time.

I had to have an awful lot of morphine, let me tell you.

Weapons grade opiates are truly wonderful.

That's quite an odd angle/shape.

I broke my wrist on both sides a few years back when i lost my front wheel on a corner. Took a year before it wasn't painful in the morning. Took three medical staff to set it using a sort of tug-of-war technique to pull my arm hard enough to set the bones back in position.

Disappointed with the lack of wank jokes so far.

Seriously though, that sounds bloody awful. There's so many bones/tendons in there... Ouch. Glad you're both ok now.

I've been snaffling some paper money under my side of the mattress, where in Londons famous London can I try on a Max Bill chrono and a few similar priced alternatives?
Still haven't got my arse to Alsal but I guess that'll be one place...

Gosh that sounds brutal. I have, subsequently, broken both of my wrists simultaneously, albeit only fractures, which was not remotely pleasant so I can understand where e coming from.

Well he's right handed, so the only thing that he'd miss out on with an injury to his left would be "the stranger".

Soon come

One thing I still can't get my heeed around.

Mundane watches run over 31 days on the month as far as I know.

So you have to correct. Every month.

Stop me if I'm wrong?

not sure. getting it to match my kitchen clock

Ermagherd.

Oh snap. Different starp but that is the one.

Well, not every month, some have 31 days

No it counts over 31 etc?

Still looks wrong to me...

Bought the missus this for no particular reason (I actually put a cheeky bid on it for myself, won it against all odds then realised I'd probably never wear it)... She loves it and it looks great on her...
