Hi lads,
Geordie Sam here,
I was in my local garden centre/diy store the other day, looking at an antique garden sundial, when a young lad said to me "hey mister, do you know what this is"? I explained to him that when the sun shines down on it, it casts a shadow across the dial and you can tell the time of day from it, the young lad looked at it, thought for a few seconds, and the said "huh, what WILL they think of next".
Is that a true story?, you tell me.
Thanks lads.
Geordie Sam.

Some sort of small time keeper that you wear on your wrist?

I know, crazy!

Time is an illusion. Lunch time doubly so.

Do you think that they will come up with a way to adjust for day light savings time?

All you need to do is move to the left 4 degrees.

Manual wind, unfortunately. Casio has a solar-powered version in development, but it'll take several years to perfect the technology.

Citizen is working on using their Eco-Drive technology with it. Should only be a matter of time...

I would actually like to learn how to use one, handy tool, can be made out of almost any material.

Am I the only one to pick up this man's ironic genius!
