    Forgot about the clocks going back last night and got up an hour too early.

    Me.

    Just get an earlier mass.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,238 ✭✭✭Patser


    My baby.

    And I spent ages explaining that the clocks would go back too, resetting the clocks in front of her and allowed her stay up an extra 15 minutes too. Now I'm facing an extra hour of Peppa Pig.

    Damn 10 months old, she's even giggling dementedly away here.

    Damn you clocks going back, stupid concept (Unless of course you've availed of the extra hours sleep in which case damn you!)

    I went yesterday evening so that's not an option, can only tolerate one mass with Fr Brennan a week.

    Same here. I've even grown to like peppa compared to other drivel like dora.

    Have come to HATE this day. My older kid wanted to get up at ten to f***ing 6.

    If you have young kids then you just get up when they do, you normally don't get much of a say in what time that is unfortunately, so clocks back or forward makes no difference.

    If you don't, then it's Sunday and you can lay in until whenever you fancy so you get up when you wake up, so where's the problem with what hour it says on a clock?

    Trying to figure this one out. The clicks went back, so you wouldn't have missed it, you would have been an hour early fire it .

    It's now 8.48, but the UPC guide is saying that the f1 starts at 9.30 when it actually started at 8.30

    I didn't forget, and I had nowt to get up for. But still, I was up at 6-ish.

    I had to change the time on the clock in my sitting-room, and also on my phone. My phone isn't new...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,238 ✭✭✭Patser


    Same here. I've even grown to like peppa compared to other drivel like dora.

    Same here. Ever find yourself watching it even without the kids around? Ben and Holly's little kingdom has me doing that. I think it's just the sexual tension between Nanny Plum and Wise Old Elf - haven't seen the likes since Mulder and Scully or Moonlighting.

    Check your settings,I'll bet UPC know what time it is.

    My 6 month old partly understood and got up 2 hours early. Shouldn't have tried to explain it at all.

    Now he's crying because he thinks leap years will affect his birthday.

    Except for all those thousands of people who work on a Sunday.

    My phone updated the time automatically as did my watch but I never looked at either and took the time fromthe stupid 20 year old radio/clock alarm.

    More that I flick on the TV after they've gone to bed and after watching it for a few minutes, realising WHAT the F*** ARE YOUDOING? You're right with the wise old elf and nanny plum though.

    anyone who works on any Sunday who has to get up at X time and doesn't set an alarm deserves to be late and should get zero sympathy. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,975 ✭✭✭Greyfox


    Was wondering why the shutters were down at work this morning, had to be told by the security guard to stop banging on the shutters and I was a half hour early and not a half hour late, thing is nobody cares if your late on sundays so I missed out on an extra hour with my new electric blanket for nothing :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,699 ✭✭✭mud


    My phone didn't change but my computer did so I got a pleasant surprise.

    (I'm still in bed but it's cool because it's not twenty to 12 any more)

    when you have a 2 year old full to the gills with energy there is no such thing as getting up too early

    Clocks went back, so your 2 hours fast, but seem very slow.

    No it's not its 11:56. Your watch must be stopped/broke. Maybe try a new battery or wind it if it's I've of those really really old type watches.
