What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.


What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

Firstly a gander is a male whilst a goose is a female.

                                                            goose, gander geese  goose or gander
   
This saying means what ever one does then it is alright or permissible for another person to do.

It is often used when one person does an action, something wrong against another person, then if the wronged person retaliates, does the same back then the saying “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander” will be used.
 
For example. If one person makes a promise to do something, say pay for a service of work carried out, and the do not fulfill that promise or payment, then the person who has been wronged will withdraw their labour or not undertake their part of a bargain, “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander“.

Where does time go.


I woke up just before my alarm clock was due to go off at 7:30am and I checked the time on my wristwatch, but that said 3:15am, and confusion reigned,  I could not believe it, as my watch never tells the wrong time.

The only answer was that the battery had run out, yet the watch was less than one year one, well one year in my ownership, how long it had lain in the shop I purchased it from is another story.

A friend said they would get the battery replaced, but that meant I have been without a wristwatch.

I did not know how many times a day I refer to my watch during a day, I was completely lost without it, and I was not in a position to use another watch from my collection.

The only solution would have to be to use a mobile phone I have which shows the time.

Then I got to think why don’t the manufacturers combine a wristwatch and mobile phone together.

The technology is there, chips are small enough to fit a phone and watch in the same small package, the answer to a battery, would be to house the battery in the wrist band, and we already have little blue tooth earpieces, proving that the speaker and mike can be close together.

Come on Samsung, Nokia or Casio, this device would truly be hands free.
