@hayles Yur. I’ve got to get from the Watershed to Victoria Street by 6pm. Hoping to time it so as not to arrive wringing things out.
@mhoulden Virtually every major company has massive financial dependencies on stuff knocked up in Excel and Access by non-programmers.
Working in t’@wshed.
@Phooto @derekarridge Hah! Snap. My relegated-to-decorating-and-odd-jobs watch, sadly batteryless at the mo: pic.twitter.com/CF5N7Yah
My base instincts are definitely refining with age. Last night I got home pissed and made myself… a peppermint tea.
@foxc Erm. Was the nervous breakdown due to overwork, perchance?
@chrisphin “Whoop” definitely feels right to me for English English.
@LegalWeasel I think there are programmes that could help you.
@benjohnbarnes Heh. There is less chirping this morning, but it’s still a bit like a late dawn chorus. You around?
@vero Nooooo! That’s a slapping offence in any month but December. @preppeller
@stebax I think it may be fair to say that *all* internet trolls have mental health issues, by definition…
@Phooto …that phones are so complex an old one is rarely still that useful, plus very few of them are design classics.
@Phooto It was heirloom from granddad, who was big boss of engineering firms. Dunno about the phone generation. Problem is…
@Phooto I know the feeling. This is my “backup”. Bit scared to wear it. pic.twitter.com/FTQNKfzB
@Phooto Kewl.
@skeddy Indeed. The watch was fine with drunken me last night when I took it off. It was sober me this morning that dropped it, too!
@Phooto Given the mess the guy in Timpsons made of the back of my watch the last time, maybe I should invest…
@Phooto I love self-winders, but my choice is a bit limited because I have small wrists.
@hayles Ooopsie. They normally do for me. Is it George? Have you tried deploying sarcasm?
@Phooto I knew I should, but I dopily thought that meant taking the battery out, which I can’t do myself. Never thought of pulling crown!
@skeddy Well, if you keep a watch for years and years and years and then finally drop it dopily onto a wooden floor, then yes, apparently :(
@Phooto (But I also know some extremely good, though pricey, watchmakers. My other watch, very rarely worn, is an Omega Constellation…)
@Phooto That’s fine; the guys at the “In Time” franchise in Bristol Debenhams were really good last time, so I’ll give them a try.
@shezza_t Oooh. Got a recipe? Ta!
@Phooto Definitely trying a repair, not least because I just ordered a new strap for it *yesterday*! #cursed
@Phooto Cool, that’s what I thought. Thanks, have pulled out crown. Will also try to stop bits falling down the date viewer!
