    Did a search and didn't get any results so...

    Don't forget the clocks jump forward an hour tonight (sat27/sun28). Etc...

    It is what it's.

    No they dont! Its a conspiracy, by the donkey hating sector of society to fool us all into thinking we are soul-less minions of the apocolypse!!

    Refuse, stand up for your rights, dont do it! Stay in real time, dont transverse into there "time" and be one of them!! I plead with you as a member of this imperfect society, stay with me here......

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,396 ✭✭✭✭Karoma


    tell ya what, i'll operate a tax return type system : you convince me,on paper, what you would have spent the missing time on... and if i deem it 'productive time lost' i'll return the hour (After 6 months)..

    The way to remember whats what, is...

    The clocks spring fowards and fall backwards.

    So this being spring, they have sprung foward and in the autumn, it being the fall, they fall backwards :)

    And think of how much interest they will make on it before they give it back to you. And will they give you any - of course not. :mad:

    Naw, my kitchen clock has just entered one of its annual "one hour wrong for six months" periods. It's one of those mirror image clocks (hands go backwards) so it confuses most people even when it shows the right time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,233 ✭✭✭Dont Ban Me


    Yes, my army is every growing! We shall call ourselves...

    The Army Of The Time Monkeys

    We shall spread the word and force other time fighters to join our cause, we will become strong and together we WILL defeat time and its evilness!!

    Pass on my skills to other generations, you say?! Never, I am more ever-present than time, I will defeat it before it defeats me!

    Join my cause I say, I urge you, before the proliferation of my army overwhelms you and you end up being a protector of the present day Skelator! :ninja:

    They're one of the most furked up things you could imagine. It's like tripping, 'cept you're not. Sometimes they're simply numbered one way and move the other, or numbered anticlockwise and the movement is anticlockwise.

    Example:
    39_b.gif

    It is what it's.

    I hate when they put the clocks back in winter, so that it's dark at 4:30 in the afternoon. For someone with SAD, that's a total ****, bastards.
