Question for Simon Mason

I remember that it was thought that someone who was exercising would
oxidise the alcohol quicker. I dont have a bias either way but wonder
whether simply moving my legs while sitting (as an alternative to
walking) would have a demonstrable effect with the breath tester in a
few hours.
================================================== ===

Did you really type that? Are you being serious in thinking that moving
your legs about while sitting could possibly remove alcohol from your
system?

I don't know. It would be a remarkable finding if it proved correct.
The idea is there is a greater blood pressure differential around the
visceral organs and the moving leg muscles not only prevent blood
pooling in the legs but assist in the circulation in the thorax.
There is a possibility. Perhaps I have received insufficient
indoctrination to accept that I'm an idiot. Please tell me again and
put me in my place so I can remain blissfully ignorant like 99.9% of
the population.

It seems perfectly reasonable as a guide. I wouldn't want to drive if
I were borderline on that device. But with a very low reading I reckon
it would be safe.- Hide quoted text -

As I cycle to work I was only interested in how fast I got rid of 24
units of alcohol out of curiosity, not out of fear of getting nabbed
for drink driving.

Even if it didn't, it would be wonderfully entertaining for anyone who
spotted you doing it.

Sorry - Mr Benn wanted me to put him in my killfile, so I don't
see
why I should engage with him when it suits him.
He can compare the item in my photos with an alcohol meter search

I also asked you to jump off a cliff.

Your alcohol meter looks like this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-6-LCD-Di...h-Tester-3-AAA...

9.99 + 1 shipping from Hong Kong.

Do you really expect to get anything remotely accurate at that
price?

The seller indicates an accuracy of 10% , seems better than assesment
by eye colour to me. * How much better could you get for 100?

I think you are doing your usual trick and ignoring what is actually said in

is more accurate? Nowhere.
What I was questioning was why would you spend out £700 on watches? After

You will have to learn to phrase your insults in a less confusing way

Why did I spend £700 on watches? I got a £8000 bonus one year and

And the scientist in me loves the concept of radio controlled watches

So how long does the battery last in the RC watch?- Hide quoted text -

The Citizen Skyhawk is solar powered and so never needs a battery

The Junghans lasts 3 years and I changed it myself just a year ago.

I had an early version of a Citizen quartz analogue with solar power
in 1980's . Forgot what happened to it, but I can remember it being
too big for my wrist (at least aesthetically) as I was at most a
teenager. It could well have been a catalogue item and was returned,
I don't remember having it for any significant length of time. I much
preferred a Swatch (I had an original from when first introduced which
was stolen in 1985).

The Junghans lasts 3 years and I changed it myself just a year ago.

I use a Timex mostly, which has a 10 year battery, a lithium coin
cell. Required battery replacement on the button. It now could do
with a replacement strap. It maintains an accuracy of 10 seconds
between adjustment for BST and back.

I have a Rotary for a dress watch, but it's without a battery right
now, I ought to get a pretty mechanical to save the bother with
changing the supposed 3-year battery. It's a tiny one and the
original did not make two years.

No - I have never seen any evidence to even suggest that he may be one.

Mason is in denial - he is an alcoholic.
He claims that he drinks ten to twelve pints

He needs to seek help.

Do you know when and where the BP shareholder meeting is being held this
year? I may go along for a laugh if it's in London. That's only half an
hour away on the train and I can always meet up with some people afterwards
for a drink to celebrate.



We shareholders haven't been told yet. It is usually mid April - I expect to
get a letter in the next couple of weeks or so - it will probably be at ExCeL
exhibition and conference centre in London Docklands.

Do you want to buy an odd share?

You can then go to the meeting and ask any questions you may have.

If Porky plays his cards right he could have his ****-up at the same time - so
we could fit that in as well. (I've not been invited to the ****-up - but I
bet I will be welcome)

I'm already a shareholder. I'll wait for the letter to arrive. I know
where the ExCel centre is - been there before.

I have some safety-related issues I'd like to bring up at the meeting.
