Did I miss something?

liah

So I looked at my facebook, on which I have a lot of my old friends from Canada and the States added. They keep going on about Daylight Savings Time and how they forgot to change their clocks. Is this a global thing, or a North American thing?

I should really know this by now, I've been here well over a year...

Have the yanks taken over Mullingar?

Since when are Canadians yanks?

It's basically just that daylight savings time happens at different times in different parts of the world.

Or is it that you don't understand day light savings at all?

Oh no, I understand it, I'm just not entirely sure when it happens this side of the pond.

Its US Daylight Saving Time. When do we do it? Round the 25th or something?

Victor

Its a mostly upper northern hemisphere thing. However, some countries changed today, some change later (yes, stupid).

Would you not consider googling it rather than going to the bother of creating a thread on boards?

Boards is my preferred search engine, but thanks anyway for the suggestion.

I agree, Google is just complete lies with ads. Everything on Boards is true. FACT!

I like it when people call each other horse.

Provided they know they're being ironic. The ones who say it without a glint of humour are a bit.. weird.

In my sexperience people call each other horse in 2 situations, when they can't remember the real name and during pony play...it's cool with me durig pony play!

I suppose it's 'cuz I'm a foreigner, but I like it when people say things like "horse" or "head," or other country Irishisms. It reminds me of where I am, and I appreciate it a little more, I guess. I boggers. I honestly do. Me and quaintness get along.

Still, I like it best when it's said with a bit of the ol' glint in the eye rather than in seriousness.

It's not, it's just slang (Munster more than anything) for girl.

My mate is called shark, probably due to it rhyming with Clarke.

That seems like it would save confusion. I hate daylight savings! Outdated and pointless

Not really, it helps to make the most out of day light during both summer and winter. Its much simpler that changing everyone working hours twice a year. :rolleyes:

I know a guy who goes by the nickname "horse money"

Basically when we were younger and looking for funds to scrape together to get sweets and he says "right lads I only have "
horse money

Cue us breaking our holes laughing and 15 years later he still has the nickname

Do the powers that be not realise that the earth and the sun regulate this whole 'days get longer/days get shorter' thing all by themselves and that by fiddling with their clocks they're not actually saving anything?

Read the wiki page, theres a lot of strange benefits to using DST.

A couple years ago the US changed by law its DST hours for some energy saving malarky, but anyway, its wildly different depending on where you are. many states and countries dont adhere to it; and plenty more adhere to it differently.

Im just pissed because my alarm clock was made before the new law. I was in an hour early last week for no good reason.
