Probably should take into account people with learning disabilities and processing disorders

As an option, definitely. As a default though I too would prefer the standard spoken form if the time is going to be spoken rather than displayed. It's a bit like how simplified wikipedia is a good idea but I prefer regular English to be the default version.

Is he carrying them around and using them or are they more for collection/display?

For general use I like having a multitool, often having a bit more than just the knife comes in handy. I normally carry a Leatherman Wave+ and consider it a pretty good tool to have, but I suspect that might be a bit over your budget even with exchange rates taken into account. Something like the Leatherman Skeletool might be worth considering though.

Similarly putting stuff in the upper right is just asshole design for those of us who are left handed, unfortunately that's relatively common.

Curiosity I guess, it's not like I've done it often.

If you take the bag right out of the box it tends to be difficult to put back into the box, having seemingly become larger like the rabbit in the OP picture.

It's SimCity 2000, and it's making me wonder how fast African Swallow speed would be on a modern computer - I believe that speed was basically progressing time as quickly as the computer could and it was pretty fast even on the 166(?) MHz processor of the Mac I played it on as a kid.

How pervasive surveillance and tracking of people (and their data) is in todays society. We've become accustomed to it but I'd bet people a century ago would be shocked at the idea of stuff like regular people being filmed from multiple angles when just going to the shops, having a device in their pocket constantly recording their location, receiving targeted advertising based on what information they've looked at previously, etc.

Bing gave me this for 'Going off like a frog in a sock'.

Edit: Also this one for 'Flat out like a lizard drinking'.

OP is either worried about ghosts or the serial killer(s) whom he nicked a few bodies from.

There's a Bagdad in Tasmania too, went past it when I was down there a while back (as well as Jericho and the Nile River).

Could potentially be confused with 'The Call Left a Message' though, which is a little different.

I do like the names of a few related ones, like 'The Call Has Bad Reception' and 'Got The Call On Speed Dial'.
