Variations on a theme

Why are there two 11s?

My guess would be a particular time of year that’s where the 11 would land versus the rest?

 

[Saltfountain]

To counterweight the missing 8.

That was my follow up question...

8 doesn't exist.

 

[LIDiver]

8 doesn't exist.

because seven eight it?

 

[SWR101]

I thought 7 eight 9?

[LIDiver]

I thought 7 eight 9?

Not since 7 realized nine was high in sodium.

Good question, I'm really not sure lol.

I didn't even notice this.

I assumed the answer was that time works differently on Gallifrey

Daylight savings... from a description of one in the UK

In this sun clock in Bushey there are two arcs of hour stones arranged around the plinth. The outer arc measures the shadow in Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) hours, and the inner arc measures summer time (BST). Because people use gardens mostly on summer sunny days, this inner arc is used more than the outer arc.

Then why not two 12s, and where is the 8?

maybe stolen/broken

To be fair I didn’t either till people mentioned it

 

[LIDiver]

My theory:
It is an interactive sundial. You stand on the month, noting the present time, you can take the corresponding stone and put it where you shadow is. There would be multiple stones for more people to participate. And different heights of people would explain the misaligned stones.
This guess would also explain why the stones don’t appear to be cemented down.

Or it was constructed by Litsters.

It's cold outside
It gets so hot in here
And the boys and girls collide
To the music in my ear….

Still got my original 1980 7" of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock b/w Touch. Apparently, the lads had huge problems keeping time during the recording. But the song was amazing live and had Bono climbing the speaker stacks and scaffolding if he could. They were brilliant back then. If only I could go back in time.

 

[LIDiver]

They were brilliant back then.

They certainly were. I was lucky enough to acquire a bootleg when they played at The Ritz in NYC the first summer they came to America. My favorite “album” to this day.

They lost their divinity to me once they wandered into pop music.

the lads had huge problems KEEPING TIME during the recording.

I see what you did there to stay on theme!

 

[PearlyDewdrops]

Back in 1980, I was an adolescent and U2 sang about that age between boyhood and manhood. Perfect timing for me.

I liked them after October but they lost their divinity about the time I lost my virginity.

You stopped listening to U2 when you were in your 40s?

 

[PearlyDewdrops]

Still listen to Boy and October. I stopped listening obsessively after seeing them headlining for the first time in a stadium. It wasn't the same as the clubs and uni halls. That would be 1985. REM, Ramones, Spear of Destiny were on the same bill. Billy Bragg too but I was tripping elsewhere when he was playing. Fun times.

Blue?

Almost time for Octoberfest?

A blue dirndl should fit here nicely. Prost!
