    I bet when we go forward an hour - everyone there is wearing auto lace-up boots.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,059 ✭✭✭Buceph


    Tis a pity they haven't gone forward already. I have to be up at 9am, and I can't get to sleep, so skipping over an hour of this insomnia would be big tings.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 12,333 ✭✭✭✭JONJO THE MISER

    I don't mind the clocks going forward an hour.

    What really annoys me is when the clocks go back an hour just to suit Scottish farmers, even though it plunges England into darkness at 3pm.

    Sunday 25th March 1am GMT + 1 hour = BST (until Sunday 28th October).

    Do you mean Irish Standard Time.
    Ireland's official time is GMT+1, known as IST, we go back to GMT for the winter.
    BST is The UK going forward for the summer, from their official time of GMT. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6

    According to RTE.....


    http://www.rte.ie/news/2012/0324/summertime.html

    Clocks go forward in Ireland at 1am tomorrow as summer time officially begins.

    Summer time will officially end on Sunday 28 October.

    No spring and autumn?

    Britain & Ireland share the same timezone, even though geographically Ireland should be 30 minutes behind Britain.

    My father once told me about "country time" which was permanently half an hour behind Dublin time. I gather this would have been in the 1930s and 40s. It was all pretty official. The reason it was different was to do with maximising daylight time for agricultural production.

    Does anyone know anything about this?

    Jesus now I really am confused .

    There has been talk of stopping the time change in October, I wish they would, hate the clocks going back. Would get over the dark mornings if there was a slightly longer evening.

    But in 12 years you'd be going to bed at the brightest time of the day :confused:

    Sunday.

    Tonight so then? ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    The further north in the world you go, the greater the stretch (and shrinkage) in the days. In the far North of Norway, for example, the sun rises some time in May and doesn't set again until the second half of August. The bad news is that in winter the situation is reversed and the sun never rises above the horizon for months. :)

    An American tourist with a group visiting the place in summer asked a local Sámi: "What do folks do up here all year round?" To which he got the reply: "In summer we fish and fcuk. And in winter we don't fish so much." :D:D

    Britain & Ireland share the same timezone, even though geographically Ireland should be 30 minutes behind Britain.
    The official time of Ireland is called Irish Standard Time, it is GMT+1, tonight we will return to this time, whereas in The UK their official time is GMT and tonight they will leave it.
    We both keep the same time, but whereas the UK advances one hour from their official time in the summer and revert back in the winter, we go back one hour from our official time in winter and return to our official one in summer.
