Following on from my previous post some Petrol jobs appeared on GAP. One locally which has to be done today! As sods law would have it the car was filled to the brim yesterday so it's no good unfortunately. Tis a little cheeky of GAP though but I know they struggle to get people to do all of them.

This may be a really dumb question - and please dont have a go at me for asking - but - I bought myself a stopwatch today as I need one for some assignments. Its bigger than I would have liked but its all I could find locally and need it in a hurry. Now - does anyone know if I can start/stop start/stop start/stop so that I can get six readings when I leave location - or - do i have to start/stop then check time and reset and repeat twice more (does that make sense?) Im sure this will draw attention to what Im doing. Also, does anyone know if me all singing all dancing Blackberry has a stopwatch facility, cant find one on it, but hey that doesnt mean its not there. (Spent three days on hols trying to get the thing to video - went into the phone shop when I got back home and guess what - it doesnt have video!) Amazing really cos my old 20 quid pAYG had a great video! Iknow I know Im rambling - sorry guys !!

I would guess whether the stop watch you have purchased has a split timing feature isn't something anyone could answer without at least knowing the exact make and model.

I don't have a blackberry, but I've just asked my sister who has one, and used to work as a trainer teaching people how to use them. I'll let you know as soon as she gets back to me. If it doesn't can you download gadgets? I downloaded a perfect MS timer for my Nokia.

Am tempted to say RTFM because models may differ.

Usually the first click starts it, second click fixes that time point and starts recording second time point, third click fixes second point and starts recording the third, well you get the idea Why not experiment with it at home to get it right?

I usually do it in my pocket although experience has taught me to use jacket pocket rather than trouser pocket as the movements generated were open to misinterpretation.

Well thanks Bob, I have been playing with it but cant seem to get start/stop/start/stop etc - got some great advice from ruthiejane on how to set up my blackberry so the stoppie may be going back ! And yes, keep your hand out of your trouser pocket there's a good lad!

Yes but 2 hours after the info had been on the Alerts thread.

There was also loads of phones, petrol and sandwiches

Oh no !!!
Another reason to get a Crackleberry !!
I've been fighting temptation for months-but if it has a stop watch facility it's an absolute business expense.....Right ??????
