It doesn't matter if it's a quartz battery powered, LCD, or a wind up type. They ALL either quit working, break or they go fizzle-pop. I actually had a cheapy LCD one emit the magic smoke while I was wearing it!!

Pheebs, I'm sure some researchers would love to get their hands on you (fnar) to find out what makes you tick (or rather stops things ticking)

I don't wear a watch as it would drive me crazy. I also don't wear rings necklaces/chains/bracelets whatever

I said yes as he assured me it was good chicken. Anyway, the driver arrived with an enormous package (FNAR) and when I opened it, there was a whole barbecued chicken cut in half with four bits of the local flatbread and a tray of salad. I thought it was for both of us but it was all mine (wasn't a small chicken either). It was very yummy and I literally did as described above. I ate about 3/4 of it before I quit and my hands and face were dripping with chicken fat and juices. I'm keeping the rest for my afternoon snack (the salad is still on the tray

). All of the above cost the princely sum of 30LE (about £4 at current exchange rates).

As for the watch thing, right handed, watch on left wrist - that's how I was always told they were supposed to be worn.
I feel naked without a watch on. I'm not really a clock watcher but I do like to have the time available when I want to know it.

I've done something similar with a pig. Not all mine I might add before anyone goes there (

), but barbecued and hand-pulled pork is something of a local 'delicacy' in North Carolina. T'was cooked by my boss too so I could hardly say no.

I've never ever heard this before. Ever.

I'm right handed and wear my watch on my left wrist. The 'proper' way

Haven't worn a watch in years but when I do it's left hand right handed. I'm the sort of guy who will be in a three piece suit and on the end of my watch chain will be a mobile phone on vibrate.

Is it wrong that made me strangely erotically tingly?

I haven't worn a watch since I first carried a Mobile phone.
