Using the wrong tools

[Nick]

So it appears mine is not the one to be wearing if our plane crashes in the Arctic Tundra and I have to set off in search of civilisation (or eat my fellow passengers)

The numbers on mine are painted on. What are you blathering about man?

Luminous watch faces perhaps?

Actually the magnets and pin stuff does work but I find that if you look at any old house it usually has a weather vane and that shows which way is which ~ alternatively look in the church yard and see which way the graves are facing ~ then look up at the weather vane on the church.

Yeah ~ well I forget which way it is but either their feet or their heads are planted facing East. Anyway I think you'll find most old graves are on an East /West alignment. Of course it could be North /South which is why I recommend the church weather vane.
Come to think of it churches also normally face a certain direction with the alter at one particular point of the compass but I can't remember which that is either.

All in all better probably to pop into Milletts and buy a compass or WH Smith and get a copy of "Scouting for Boys" which will probably tell you about such things as well as how to wash, be healthy, helpful and all about the dangers of self abuse.

  My mind is now officially boggling. Spatula -self abuse? No. Don't see it. Unless of course you're into a bit of masochism, in which case you could use the spatula to beat your todger with in order to turn yourself on (more likely to turn you black and blue I'd have thought).

I had never seen that before. Thanks Berek

Sorry, but I just had to...

In the northern hemisphere, hold the watch horizontal and point the hour hand in the direction of the sun. Bisect the angle between the hour hand and the twelve o'clock mark to get the north-south line. North will be the direction further from the sun.

I feel better now, marginally...  Is it wine o'clock yet?
