FOUND !!!

In the case when we last went to the North Island for my wife's
graduation ceremony when she received her BA (Hons) from the Vice
Chancellor.

But we have now lost a sock which we bought in New Zealand when we were
on our World Cruise :-(

MikeShould have gone to Spec savers

Why do we call the time piece that we wear on our wrist a "Watch"?



Don't know, but just as mysterious. Where do socks go when one
disappears? I have lost a right sock. Where is it?

Mike

How do you know it's the right one?
Lo you have them labelled left and right?

Left socks are red. Green socks are right ones..



Nah ... red socks are 'stop' ... green socks are 'go'.

Orange socks are Dutch or Irish




I've got 1/16th Irish ancestry. No dutch. No orange socks, either.


I've got 1/4 Irish ancestry and can't stand orange.




Well, it can be rather Troublesome.

LOL. I'm 1/4 Irish too, so I assume your meaning is political.

No. I don't like orange as a colour. We tend to get out of Holland
whenever there is a European or World Cup, until they are eliminated.


Well and wisely said. Actually I'd forgotten about the Dutch and Orange;
you've picked a strange place to live if you can't stand the colour!


It's mainly green with a lot of water.


Lime juice?

The easiest way of remembering the left/right thing is that Port and
Left have the same number of letters.


So have 'right' and 'green'.
