What will you do with your extra hour

Anyone

So tomorrow night the clocks go back an hour, and in his wisdom the Minister for Justice Mr Alan Shafter has suggested we "seize the hour".

I have decided to sleep for an extra hour as has become tradition. What about the rest of you?

Badly Drunk Boy

Knit a pair of mittens. Winter is a-comin', dont ya know?

dodderangler

Sit on me arse in front of telly for extra hour

The Backwards Man

It'll take me an hour to put all my clocks back an hour.

kneemos

Gaze at my navel.

Or howl at the moon.

Drain some pus.

jester77

Probably spend the extra hour in the pub

Tombi!

I'm a bit confused how it works.
If something is starting at 1AM Sunday every week, that means that it'll start at 1AM this Sunday but we change the clocks so it's currently midnight?

Savoir.Faire

Extra hour out shooting mallard duck. The next morning obviously, not at 1am in the morning.

Sigourney

I'll save it up to surprise the angel of death when he comes calling.

No. It will still start when it always starts and be over when it's always over, if it's over before two it will still be before two, if it's over after two it will then be after one.

Simple.

Alright, thanks.
I used to be good at maths. Now I can't even use a feckin' clock.

General General

He should use the extra hour to deed poll his name to Alan Spanner.

That sounds like a plan!

Spend it arguing with my toddler that it's not time to get up yet.

Would they not stop doing this sh*t? Why do we do it anyway? The short days are awful, really depressing

jimgoose

I am going to spend the hour sitting in contemplative thanksgiving for Mr. Shatter's wonderful and seemingly unending bounty.

Child safety for going to school in the mornings.

animaal

I don't think of it as an extra hour. Like everything else the government gives us, they'll be taking it back in a few months.

TeddyTedson

When it should turn to 2am, it goes back to 1am again. As far as I know anyway.


I wonder what we'll be urged to sieze when the clocks go forward in Spring

Plazaman

At 1am I shall start drinking copius amounts of Jack Daniels until I pass out and having set an alarm for the 1 hour later I'll wake up, it'll still be 1am and I will be convinced that I have travelled back in time.



Although tried this last year and instead of it being 1am when I woke it was Sunday night. Time travelled forward man.

Pumpkinseeds

Hopefully I'll be asleep, unlike the past 2 weekends where we've been kept awake by the cnut next door and his pill popping/druggy pals. Drugs really do make people stupid, pulling the net curtains back just enough to expose the open window won't get rid of the smell of dope:rolleyes:, and it's really bloody obvious in the early hours of the morning, especially in a house where the windows are rarely opened, must smell like a sh*thole in there:mad:

RikkFlair

I'll be conducting a time travel experiment whereby the entire country travels back in time by one hour.

Then you'd be complaining that it was dark until nearly 9.30 in the morning in the middle of winter probably.

sbsquarepants

I have a baby daughter who hasn't slept past 5am a single day since her birth 8 months ago, and therefore I have been up at 5am practically every day for those past 8 months. Sunday morning, I fully expect to be getting up at roughly 4am for a few bleary eyed renditions of ba ba black sheep and the teddy bears picnic. :eek:
I love it really!

Extra time tax.

5starpool

Between being drunk and/or hungover between about 7pm Saturday and sometime Monday evening, I won't notice the extra hour I reckon.

Personally I'd much prefer it dark later in the morning and the extra light in the evening.

Cycling Dumbasses

Ill be watching last weeks sky + Countryfile. :cool:

Toddlers can be so unreasonable.

Pherekydes

Yay, an extra hour of burgling! :P

Actually, we are having a party tomorrow, so I guess the extra hour will come in handy for the clean up.


If something happens at 0136hrs, does it happen twice?

I've two small kids. They'll tell me early Sunday morning, in no uncertain terms, exactly where I can shove my extra hour. And the little feckers won't even know they are doing it.

darkpagandeath

call the gardai and tell them i was kidnapped by aliens as all my clocks are wrong

Mint Sauce

My laptop, watch, phone, and TV all change automatically. Come Sunday morning I will probably have forgotten this, and will spend the next hour after waking actually trying to remember which of them change, which of them don't, or if they do at all, and trying to find out what the actual time is.

Extra hour?

I lost an hour a few weeks ago. Please send me some

Ihatecuddles-old

Ill probably be drunk, so ill forget about the hour going back. But I'm going to use it the next morning to get more cuddles in

Spanish Eyes

I change all the clocks and timers night before, EXCEPT for the bedside clock.

Wake up. Ah it's 9.30. Or whatever. Listen to radio and sneakily relish the thought that it's an hour earlier. Back to sleep. Yum.

Tell them to watch telly and have a sleep for yourself. People are gone mad nowadays running around after their kids 24hrs a day.

The_Pretender

I'll be so excited to have an extra hour sleep that I won't actually get to sleep.

I was going to say something similar - 6am is my baba's preferred waking up time so I will be waking up at what is now 5am to sing Old MacDonald has a farm in the dark for an hour or two!

If you put your clock forward an hour tonight and get up an hour earlier you and your baby will be on the correct time when you put your clock back again tomorrow night.

Speak Now

There's no extra hour, just getting back the time the feckers robbed off us last March!

My baby is only 4 months old so not really old enough for that to work. He falls asleep at night when he wants to - not really when we decide he needs to. He won't be able to keep his eyes open past his usual sleep time

Just heard the government is putting a €3 levy on the extra hour.

Everyone has to pay it as we all will avail of it.

Money will be collected directly from source by revenue.

Certain people may be exempt from the charge - night workers and bin men.

Legs.Eleven

I'm probably going to arrive an hour early for work.

Cork selfbuild

Sleeping off an hangover and getting up and realising the day may not be a total write off due to an extra hour!

Local-womanizer

I have a 24hr shift tomorrow which is now 25hrs. Dammit!

Mr. CooL ICE

I'll be on the phone to my parents because they don't know how to change the clock on the DVD player, stereo and everything else. I will then just say "read the damn manual" and slam down the phone.

I will then cry because slamming down my mobile phone will undoubtedly break it.
