Cooking with an Aga 604

And another bloody thing!!! Watches! What's wrong with all the pillocks in the city, celebrity chefs and buttorted rich people that they think you need to spend thousands of pounds on a bloody silly thing to strap on your wrist with six dials that don't do anything remotely useful, I suppose other pillocks are impressed? the financial smugly times "how to waste it" supplement (out tomorrow, please miss it) is filled with the bloody things and then they say taxing the rich is a bad thing? Its a good thing! Because these w****** have got so much of our money they waste it on stupid watches when the moneys needed for caring for old people or doing research into something useful like pollution free cars. Pillocks! Sorry about that, just read FT watch supplement, did you know a battery watch for ?10 wont function below -10C Well, you stupid t******, you arm isn't going below -10 is it, especially in your overheated over cooled inefficient glbutt office. I doubt the battery will reach -10 on top of Cairngorm in winter, unless were lucky enough that you're dead.

Don't read FT! Do you?

Ouch! as an OAP, I wear a not expensive Cbuttio 2481 with digital watch with: Double time useful for when I am out of the UK, Stop watch which is always used to see how long I have left on the parking meter. Alarm which I use occasionally. Beeps every hour to remind me that TV-Radio programs have changed. 50m water resistance, useful if I forget to take it off when washing my hands. Not sure about -10 deg C, but if it is cold, the watch is inside my gloves, and warmed by body heat. Pity they no longer sell the ones with a calculator, I used that a lot, the calculator in my mobile is not as easy to use.

When it dies, I will get another much the same. -- method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.
