Question for Simon Mason
"thirty-six" wrote in message
... 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. |

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. http://www.swldxer.co.uk/watches.jpg -- Simon Mason |

snip I wonder if BP use the same Chinese breathalyser than Mason bought for a tenner? 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) |
