Clocks go back tonight

    Just realised the clocks go back tonight. So how're you gonna spend it? An extra hour in bed?

    I'm not much in favour of it tbh. I think they should stay the way they are. Start the day by going to school, sun coming up, come home, it's dark. I usually hate this part of winter and it's crap not being able to go out after school for a while. If they really cared about obesity they'd have this fixed! Makes winter feel 10x worse.

    DST sucks.

    Daylight Saving Time is not a cause of Obesity...sitting on your couch eating crisps is.

    Is this why it gets dark early in the Winter?

    It makes the journeys to and from college kind of depressing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce

    This reminds me, the clock in my room has been stopped for about a month now. Might go about fixing it.

    **** sake, have to change all the clocks again :mad:

    Why bother.. sure they fix themselves in a few months when they go forward

    it's all a conspiracy.. when the masses are busy fiddling with their time pieces the lizard men are stealing our social security numbers, claiming the dole in our names and mating with our women

    :mad:

    But Daylight Saving Time is the cause of me staying up in bed longer, which means eating more, which means putting on weight, which means obesity.

    I should sue whoever came up with DST 'for creating circumstances which put my life in threat' for $1,784 billion trillion :p

    Winter time is the 'real' time. They go forward for the summer to save daylight and then revert to normal in October. Therefore, if you don't agree with 'summer time', you should allow the reverse hour and then call a halt to it.

  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,028 Mod ✭✭✭✭G_R


    ill spend the hour fixing the time on my bedside locker

    its so old that the button to change the time only goes forward, so i have forward 23 hours to go back 1. and to make it worse there is only a minute button, no hour, so i hav to press it 23 x 60.

    I went 2 years without moving the hour on my watch, worked great, got dark at 5:30pm in winter rather than 4:30pm :D much better for the head that way, something really wrong with it being dark at 4:30pm ;)


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS
