Clocks - Did You Remember?

[Metal Head]

To put them forward, or was it just us in Victoria?. There will be a few maintenance people around the country earning some extra cash penalty rates) having to reset the timers on the boilers, security systems etc.

[Dan]

Here we go, time for the ye old annual Daylight Saving for/against argument.:D

[Iain]

If God had meant for us to have an extra hour.......................
There go the bloody curtains again.
I recall when we had some staff members who always turned up late for a shift because they forgot, but when the clock went the other way their memories were just fine:rolleyes:

[echnidna]

Now the curtains in queensland are gunna fade faster

[Auld Bassoon]

And watch out for an increase in cancer up there in QLD...

What a load of old bullshiite!

[ozwinner]

I actually hate daylight savings, why they have to bugger around with the clocks has me beat?

Al :o

[Sturdee]

Actually I fail to see the logic of daylight saving during the summer but would prefer to see it during the winter months where it would make sense.

But politicians have never understood something sensible.

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Daylight savings? I have enough problems remembering what year it is, let alone effing around with changing hours. :( (In my head 'tis still '81; every year since then has been a disappointment. :rolleyes: )

This year I finally managed to remember to reset the clocks. Unfortunately, it seems someone else made a pre-emptive change the day before... so for a while there I was even more out of synch with the rest of the world than usual!

Nothing new there, I guess.




Bloody guvmints!

Seen many referendums over the past, I dont reckeon we need it(daylight saving) but what the hell either way I manage to get done what I want done!

Cheers

[China]

NO! for the first time since it started in SA I got caught out

[Doughboy]

The only thing I hate about daylight saving is the fact I got a big corner unit that has a clock in it with only rear access to change the time so either I need to put it on a mobile base or the mongrel thing is going to be an hour behind for six months a year!!!!!

I have removed the capslock button from my keyboard, I got so sick of typing and seeing I had hit the caps button by mistake.

Al :p

[Honorary Bloke]

Bugger! We went BACK an hour this morning and if you lot went FORWARD an hour! :eek: Just when I had the time difference sorted out. :mad:

[echnidna]

Does that mean yer now further away from us Bob?

[Schtoo]

I wish.

No daylight savings here, and this is one place that really &^%$$%%^ needs it.

They wonder why families are going downhill here, well, how the heck can kids play outside when it's dark at 7:30 in the middle of summer?

(That's not the end of it, but it's not helping things...)

Oh yeah, full sunlight at 4AM.

Whoever set the time zone for here out to have their inlet and outlet swapped over... :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Daddles]

I didn't even know about it until my girlfriend asked me to change her mobile phone. I think I got all our clocks - you don't realise how many you have until daylight saving.

Richard

just remembered the one I missed, the rotten answering machine :rolleyes:

[Felder]

When you change your clocks, you should also change the batteries in your smoke alarms.

Mine have been giving low battery warning tones every ten minutes for the past two weeks. My wife kept asking me to change the batteries, but I stood my ground and waited till I had to change the clocks. :)

[Felder]

Wake up sunshine.

Sunshine starts an hour later now. Which fades the cows. Or something.

[Sturdee]
