Lifetimer clock

Time is so staggeringly elastic. The seconds of terrifying anticipation before your parachute opens stretch ahead of you like hours, the minutes before you have to get out of your warm bed to go to work flash by in a nanosecond. The Lifetimer clock lets you keep track of the important things in life in a wonderfully novel way. The clock face is surrounded by a collection of buttons relating to different aspects of your life, such as your next holiday, your next tea break, your birthday, the time you knock off from work, even the last time you had rumpy pumpy. Simply pressing any of these buttons will give you the number of hours, minutes and seconds you’ve got left (or that have passed in the case of some) till the event happens. Press, and it’s only seven minutes and twenty seconds to your coffee break; press, and you’ve been in your current relationship for two years, three months, six days, ten hours, four minutes and twelve seconds, etc etc. It’s a brilliant idea and great fun – in fact it’s amazing quite how much time you can waste simply pressing the buttons to see how much time you’re wasting. Watch the seconds left till you can go home from work tick away (backwards of course), or the days since you last made like a rabbit add depressingly up.
The Lifetimer – possibly the most interesting and interactive clock ever invented.
- The Lifetimer keeps track of the important things in life, counting up or down to momentous events like ‘home time’.
- An option to set the clock to 12 or 24 hour clock.

- The Lifetimer counts the days until your Birthday, Christmas, next holiday, lunch hour, home time, the weekend, the event of your choice.
- The Lifetimer times how long it has been since you started your job, began your relationship, last had sex.
- The calendar stretches up to the year 2050.
- The Lifetimer is an interactive little thing, pinging away with date reminders and scrolling messages across its back-lit LCD screen.
- Ergonomically designed.
- Powered with 2 x AAA batteries (not included).
- Suitable for ages 16 years+.
- Size: 8.5 x 9.4 x 8.5 cm.

Important things in case of an emergency

1. Clear the crowd. Give the stricken person as much room to breathe as possible.
2. Do not move the person who has fallen. He might have some broken bones or might be bleeding internally.
3. In case of external bleeding, put pressure on the source of the bleeding. A piece of gauze or a clean hanky is fine.
4. Don’t give the stricken person water or alcohol.
5. When a person faints, loosen his clothes especially around the chest and neck. Keep his head lower than the rest of his body.
6. Accidents often involve shock, so keep the victim as warm as possible with extra clothing or blanket. A light massage may help.
7. Clean small wounds and scratches with running water and hydrogen peroxide. Dry and paint with povidone iodine solution.
