Clocks gone back.

Daylight savings my ass...i was a whole hour early for work this morning and now i'm going to be in sh1tty humour all day:mad:

When in reality we all gained an hour.

If you went to bed before the first 11 o clock yesterday, you would of slept an extra hour. Once the clock hit 12 it went back to 11. So either you stayed up an extra hour or slept an extra hour. Plus it was brighter when you woke up this morning, usually a sign of sleeping in late

Spent several minutes this morning trying to figure out what time it was. And yes I did google it. All of my electrical appliances are seemingly quite clever, as they all auto-updated without asking me!

Thank goodness for the kitchen clock being analogue.

can cause problems when nearly everything you own updates automatically between BST and GMT, laptop, phone, and watch are all on auto update, was waiting on the news on the radio to be sure

Saw the clock on my laptop change from 02:00 to 01:00, didn't know what the Hell was going on. Scary stuff.

I went to bed just before 12, and put the time on it back on hour. Then woke up thinking it was 7.45 so stayed in bed for a while. I got up when it said 9. Took me a few minutes to realise that my phone automatically adjusted itself, so it went back another hour even though I changed it myself.

It was actually 10

to his cardboard box on the shopping trolley he robbed from tescos of course.

Don't worry Domo230, I've wrote into MTV and asked them to pimp your trolley like this lad's [nsfw]Pimped Trolley to cheer you up.

Thats nobodys fault but your own ! What age are you ? How many years around this time have you witnessed this time change occur ?

Just to let you know incase you forget. We will have the opposite situation on the last sunday in March 2009.

Over here in Sydney they moved the clocks forward! im now 11 hours ahead of you buggers! I didnt even know they were on a different clock changing schedule! in fact, the east coast of oz is on a different one to the west side! plays havoc with Outlook!

anyway, i too also have a story involving being an hour late for work....actually, i think i've just told it. :rolleyes:

edit: actually, this site went down at 3pm my time, so that would make me 12 hours ahead now!!

Sydney's clocks went back 3 weeks early this year last year we went forward same time as ireland went back.
Queensland and NT do not observe Daylight savings.
and if you are in sydney you are 11hrs ahead not 12

The_B_Man

Then how come the 3am boards backup went ahead at 3pm here?

I thought we were 11hrs ahead too until that confused me!

Because the back-up has been at 4 a.m. for the last few months!

Riddle101

TBH if i had come into work an hour ealier i'd just find some cosy place where no one will look and take a nap there. That way i'll get that extra hours sleep withour having to leave the office, and if i time it right i can be on my way for promotion because the boss will see that i'm in on time and be happy with my attendence. Attendance is big to bosses

It's the same story every year


People change the time incorrectly

People forget about it and think they're cool because 'being organised is for squares'

People think they have an hour extra in bed - not just the day after - but until March.

Yeah it's a bummer alright. But I think it's slightly preferable to going to work in the morning in the dark, which I'd been doing for a couple of weeks until this morning But that won't last too long, I imagine...

What time is it now? 8 or 9?

Depends on the state of the toilets to be honest. If you work in a pub then there's no way anyone will sit and sleep on those things after the nights gone by, nosiree or so i've been told, but the toilets in McDonalds are more cleaner nowadays, but i'd still be scared to sit on them incase i catch aids or something, If you work in an office, well that might be accpetable, providing nobody catches you like this

The MAN is a bastard. He only does this every year. Forward in Spring, Backwards in Autumn ... every year. And it's at 2am that it changes ... every year. What a wanker for confusing us like this.

i thought the point of the clocks going back and forth is so farmers have more daylight or something?

Why dont they just get up at 6 or whenever it gets bright, but instead of changing the clocks, they can just get up at 5! simple!

I heard that when they were intorducing daylight savings in Western Australia, people complained that their curtains would fade because of the extra hour of daylight in the day, and that the cows would be confused as to when they were to go milking.........

i dont know if i believe it though. could people be THAT stupid?
