The Evil Clock

Re: The Evil Clock

Re: The Evil Clock

The clock in the Arndale isn´t that bad, and it is one of the very few thing that isn´t dull and boring about the place. One word of advice though. If you repeatedly wet yourself watching it, seek medical help.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Agrre totally with gpovanman

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Is the clock the real reason why you wet yourself?????

Re: The Evil Clock
 

I think the clock should stay, and you should urgently seek medical adice.

Perhaps grown out of the habit now, after all its 6 years ago.:D:rolleyes: 7 actually just noted the posted date, not date joined.

..and you need some additional medication. That last posting was 2003.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

yep these threads are "Good old Accyweb" as some claim?:D

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Er, yes. I know.

I was merely adding my comment to the thread a little later than most, not being lucky enough to have been a member in those halcyon days on AW.

There is now a job specialisation within the IT industry which goes under the name of 'Data Mining'. I think you should give it a try. You would look very good around Ossy with a pit helmet and a pony in tow.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

I prefer being pithy to pity.

Plus it's hard getting any helmet big enough to fit my head.

;)

Re: The Evil Clock
 

I've got a shiny WW2 ARP helmet hanging on my wall....will that do?

Re: The Evil Clock
 

So that's what you did in the black out.

Polished your helmet.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Congratulations, you doubled this threads count.

:)

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Nah...I picked it up a few years ago when they were finally rebuilding on a V2 site here in the East End. I only started polishing it up about 3 months ago when I was sat here reading your postings on this website. I needed a little bit of intellectual stimulation.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Don't worry, like my earlier resurrection, and sticking with the WW II theme, one Yank and they'll be off.

;)

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Work still short on the ground for you?

Hope it picks up soon.

Have you not thought of retraining as a mudlark?

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Oh dear....you must have gone to great trouble to put that little lot togeather. I'm quite chuffed.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Yes, but you, like Rula Lenska, were worth it, and you looked as pleased as Punch when you first slipped into it, before going off to fleece a few farthings from some unsuspecting tourists.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

This is rather fun, let's pick another innocent thread from years ago and bring it back to life.

I always liked that one about the calendars....

Re: The Evil Clock
 

That's not old!

That comes back to life every year, when a new calendar comes through our letter boxes.

:D

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Rula who? Is this the Russkie dog blasted into space back in 1959 or whenever? Whats's this to do with the Arndale Clock?

Re: The Evil Clock
 

And I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to it. Just remind us of what we can look forward to - you still got a scan of the last issue?

Actually, 'issue' isn't a bad euphemism as the calendar is about as good as a bag of said emission.....

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Your wish is my command.

The 'Toby jug' calendar, my favourite, you can have thrown in.

Two for the price of one.

That's good value, after all.

:rolleyes::D

Re: The Evil Clock
 

God Tealeaf Rula ain't a Russkie, she's a Polish Countess :rolleyes: :D

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Even though this is an old thread please stay on topic thanks

Re: The Evil Clock
 

i remember the Arndale being built and the clock taking pride of place, i remember the opening of the Arndale and the first time the clock was played for the public, i loved it, there was no harm ever caused by it

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Its always these political types that take threads of topic Mick:D

Re: The Evil Clock
 

Well I didn't start going off topic...it was Rindy.

Re: The Evil Clock
 

So, unlike the thread starter, the clock never scared you, and made you do a little wee outside Ethel Austin?

:rolleyes::D

Re: The Evil Clock
 

lol, i'm afraid not
