Re: Time

I don't have to worry, my broken watch tells me the correct time twice a day


Joking apart I was talking to my neighbour this afternoon who was in hospital and like me didn't think he would be around now. We chatted about it and both came to the same conclusion, it is great to be alive and able to make the most of the extra days given to us.

Time is precious and not to be wasted

Re: Time

As per Freddie Mercury song, Time Waits for No-one.

Why does it speed up as we get older?

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

"Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time."

About 30 years ago, a colleague and I developed an equation just to show why time speeds up as you get older. We postulated that it had something to do with the inverse square of your age but that's all I can remember OFF hand. In any case time is just an abstract construct imho.
