It arrived in a jiffy bag.

Can't hear anything when I move the hands, but then I'm a bit deaf anyway.

And the winder doesn't wind. It meets resistance straight away. It's not locked solid, but it won't wind.

Sounds like it is over wound ! If the main spring had gone it would wind and not do anything .
Not very well protected !

The story is : Step son is an avid West Ham Manager and either the manager or a player was called Coker so that is what we called him when we re homed him . His name at the cat protection league unit he came from was Angus

That’s lovely, thank you.

I've just installed Android 12. My phone is thinking long and hard about the change.

Had a nice 35 miler earlier and included some biggish hills. Have a steak and kidney pie in the oven now and a bottle of Smithwicks to go with it

I had one extremely dodgy overtake on a corner which gave me all the room in the world but the driver came dangerously close to colliding with a large John Deere coming the other way.

The car in question was an old white Rolls Silver Spirit on bridal duty complete with ribbons and a bride in the back seat. Someone came close to having a memorable wedding day...

Those Rolls-Royce drivers are a menace on the road

A bit of a bitsas supper here tonight; baked salmon with herb crust, bbq pork ribs, potato salad and a stir fry of leek, spinach and red peppers with ginger and chilli.

All that's left now is half of the veg, but that's easily used up tomorrow.

The qually from Imola is *FINALL* finished.

Red flag was intent on doing the hokey kokey.

Was going to watch it tonight

Watching the last series of Walking dead.... yup its like watching one - slower than a dead thing. I started watching it in hospital with a broken spine, 6 1/2 years ago - I will finish it, like I've recovered my spine... Ticked off then....

i.e. basically something has gummed up the main spring and is stopping it from either winding or releasing. Most likely the latter.

Sounds like possible damage in transit then, as I bought it as working.

What is name of the bloke who needed to mend his bucket, but couldn't mend it because he could not fetch any water in a bucket?



I thought I had paid my Carclay Bard card bill earlier this month, unknown to me the payment bounced back.

Crackey Bard have now suspended my account, and I cannot receive a text on my mobile, because the mobile says "no network available".

I cannot phone them on the landline to ask them to change the number they send the text to, because the waiting time for phone calls is thirty minutes.

Just to add to the fun (?) the ports that take the mouse have stopped working on this puter.

Well...

I've managed to get the Kelek going. Have had it running for about an hour.

Did a little poking around on Google regarding watch troubleshooting. Now I'm a girl who likes to try the simple things first, and I found two suggestions to help solve the issue. One was to leave the watch someplace warm for a bit and the other was to just sit and jiggle it around for a while, almost like a fidget thing.

And yes, it seems to have released whatever was causing the main spring to stick. I'm now wearing it, hoping that the combination of body heat and wrist movements will continue to release the spring.

If this works, according to what I've read, all it will want is a good clean.

I think I now deserve a and the slice of cheesecake in the fridge that's got my name on it.

I am sitting here watching a crap film, my other half thinks it's good. The things we have to put up with. 🤣😂

 

[Reynard]

It's still running...
