I am a bloke and I like gadgets. I also like watches and clocks and when we have to put them back or forward an hour it can take me an heck of a long time as i have so many. However I have had a love hate relationship with a clock I purchased a few months ago. It was a wall type pendulum clock. From the start it caused me problems. Firstly the pendulum fell off and broke. With the deft application of Super Glue I got it back together again. Then the hands came loose.. This meant that the time was constantly 6.30!!!. I managed to fix that using a small screwdriver and lots of patience. The final straw was last night. I noticed the pendulum had stopped penduling so I needed to change the battery. Carefully removing it from the wall I started to prise the battery out. With a loud 'twang' the back of the clock shot off and three of the cogs fell out!!! It was quite simple to fix though. I gently picked the clock up. Walked a few yards outside and lobbed the whole lot in the bin.
I was talking to my partner last night and said I was really looking forward to some sea air. She wandered off to the kitchen and brought back a Mackerel and started fanning me with it. So I took her back out in the car and dropped her off on the Motorway again.
Men and Women definitely do not understand each other.
