Well it has been a bad week for all things mechanical. The second failure of the week has just occurred: my good watch packed in yesterday evening. Wouldn’t mind if it wasn’t so god damn expensive to service.

See Ask Dr Universe for more meanderings on this very topic.

Your “good” watch? Wear your bad watch for a while…or does its “badness” stem from poor time-keeping?
