It's right above your head at lunchtime. Easy to face the wrong way. Ignore his advice. You'll end up confused. Also might be at night when you first start practicing with no sun available in which case you could use the North Star as a reference point. Much easier just knowing the red bit points to Magnetic North. Don't get mixed up with True North. You'll end up lost. Link to comment

Supposed to be quicker, more economical & healthier though (less fat). Link to comment

Actually, i can. satire /ˈsatʌɪə/ the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticise people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. Anyway do you not live on the 34th floor of a high rise apartment? Sun at a much different angle from your window. You were better as Bricktop. 1 Link to comment
