:lol: Place bets now.

Last week, when our clocks went forward, we had one of the people who sometimes sits in on out course drumming it in to our heads, telling us she had reminders set to change her clocks, and that she wouldnt forget but 'theres always one'. She wasnt so smug when she was an hour late the next day though... :laugh:

it sucks to lose an hour... :(

1 Apr 2006, 15:35

Especially when you're at training for half 7 anyway, so that becomes half 6. Which means getting up at 6 becomes getting up at 5...

One of my least favourite days of the year; if I'm gonna lose an hour's sleep, I'd like it to be when I decide to.

I think you're taking too much delight in reminding us Yankees that the Aussies are gaining an hour.

Hey.. dont worry.. they are all largely descended from convicts, their toilets flush around the wrong way, and they lost the Ashes.

Some disadvantages of being Aussie you know. :laugh:

Your remarks do comfort me, Burt!

But Australia does have Peta Wilson...rawr! :)

There is a part of Indiana that refuses to follow daylight savings time.

Little factiod for ya. :read:

1 Apr 2006, 16:53

oh yeah -- thanks for reminding us, Cath.

I think it's Madison, right?

But what I like about Indiana is that the state has a town called Floyds Knob. At least they have a sense of humor!

1 Apr 2006, 16:54

I don't like anything about Indiana. Had to drive thru it once and it was hell. :nonono:

.......and also to ease the pain of today's Spurs/Newcastle match. Thank you Mr. Jenas. :spit: :eek: :faint: :lol:

I love the sun (not for sunbathing, but I want to feel happy.) :shine:

1 Apr 2006, 17:01

Isn't Eerie in Indiana?

and can anyone tell me where I've heard of Eerie, Indiana from, cos I can't remember?

also.. is it eerie?

1 Apr 2006, 17:06

It whats a Tv show I think but I thought it was Pennsylvania.. :confused2:

1 Apr 2006, 17:07

Eerie, Indiana was a television show from the early 90's. Always had good reviews, but I never caught an episode, sadly it appears.

There's also Erie, as in the Canal and one of the Great Lakes.

1 Apr 2006, 17:08

Nope, it was Eerie, Indiana mentioned in the show.

There is a real Erie, Michigan though.

1 Apr 2006, 17:15

There's an Erie PA than.. :uhoh:

1 Apr 2006, 17:16

Whoops -- you're correct, Cath!

:bow:

1 Apr 2006, 17:22

Nah just totally confused, as usual.

if it were up to me we'd have permanent daylight savings time, and an extra hour in winter. who wants to come home in the dark. i don't give a toss about having daylight in the mornings.

1 Apr 2006, 22:13

I still wonder why people think you lose an hour of sleep... do you REALLY get up 1 hour early on sunday? :skeptic:

Screw that, I'll be up at 10 instead of 9, it's sunday damn it :lol:

Ha Ha! My alarm clock and computer were automatically set for Daylight Savings Time. For those of you betting that I would forget, you lost.

2 Apr 2006, 09:35

Bit behind the time aren't you in America?

The states of Arizona and Hawaii are also quite indifferent to DST as well...

2 Apr 2006, 09:40

Our daylight savings time begins on the first Sunday in April at 2AM. Right now, it's 12:39 in the East Coast.

In response to Johnny's post.

Meh, i just thought it would be funny. But, in fairness, you didnt remember either...

2 Apr 2006, 09:57

Shut up, Twatto. Of course I remember. It's also important to remember since Monday is a school day.

2 Apr 2006, 11:38

Lol yeah, i dont start college till midday on Mondays though, what a blessing!

Me and my mate watching Wrestlemania tonight at mine for a laugh, should be good lol.

2 Apr 2006, 11:42

You're lucky Twatto. My college days start in the morning.

Yeah well most of mine do. Monday is the exception. Which is probably the best day to have a late start on. Im just terrible with mornings though.

2 Apr 2006, 12:20

Goddamn Virgin Mobile. If they can sign the Sex Pistols and sponsor ultraindurance airflights why the fook can't they provide a telephone service that recognizes DST or provide phones that the clock can be programed?

2 Apr 2006, 12:29

DOH!!! Shut off phone, restart to reestablish contact with mothership. Still, they should have printed this in the manual.

powering off my cell phone did not help.

Instead, it wasn't until 4 pm Pacific that Cingular finally got off their asses to recognize daylight savings time.

Something I watched for when I drove across the U.S.-- the change in time zones on my cell.

It was a long trip... :shrug:
