You're neither gaining nor losing an hour.

How many people knew that since March 9 we have been only 4 hours ahead of America. Their clocks changed then. Also listeners to BBC World Service radio will notice their programmes will be an hour earlier. They stay on GMT all year round.

what will jumping around the place do

sounds like the average weekend for some .

ah I see it now, you mean throw a tantrum and eventually someone will ask why you are doing strange things, which the answer you would then give would be "cause I dont know when the clocks go back and was acting out the question via interprative dance"

clever.

Parts of Brazil were only two hours behind up to a couple of weeks ago, three hours behind now, and four hours behind next week.

Clocks go forward on Sunday morning. So an hour less in leaba.

If its neither then it may as well be both is which case it could be one or the other which leads me to believe in the latter rather than the former.

Time doesn't exist (aside from metaphysically) so how can something that doesn't exist change?

The clocks will probably change though. As socially constructed as that idea is and all

dxhound2005

These days we should probably say phones go forward.

I'm using that one tomorrow morning when I'm late for work.

When you say late, you mean you arrive to your workplace after the socially agreed arbitrary period subsequent to the sun rising has elapsed, yes?

I think we may have met on the bus recently. I didn't know then either.:D

Time most definitely exists. I haven't bumped into myself walking around this apartment yet.

Time is in Naas.

Chung heaven.

All European Union countries should be on Central European Time so that we are not confused with TV and radio schedules, transport and communication.

Ah sure! What would we talk about if the clocks didn't change, huh!



Fair play to the clocks.



I'm drunk.

They say that if time is spelt backwards it spells emit.

I'm deep.

Sir Arthur Daley

An hour less in the pub saturday night as i feel revenge will be on the cards, since the new bar owner starting quoting his version of the law to the guards when the clocks went back last year, got our extra hour but at a cost maybe.

Capt'n Midnight

We'll be changing from Greenwich Mean Time to Irish Standard Time.

Wotsername

We'll be changing from any time now, to now in a minute.

dr.bollocko

Finally. It's that "Grand ould stretch in the evening" time of year. Time to boil my speedos.

Lousy farmers.

What bugs me out are these partial timezones. Being an hour or two hours ahead like France or Poland is understandable but India is 5 1/2 hours ahead of Ireland.
Midnight here is 5:30 am there...and Nepal is even more wacky with its 1/4 hour time differences so it would be 5:45 am there.

Call Me Jimmy

Yea pi$$es me off when I'm trying to get a hold of the lads in the Nepal branch they're always out on their feckin lunch! Grinds my gears sitting there for that extra 15 mins waiting for them to stroll back to their desks

I didn't realise that existed.
It did baffle me to think that there were distinctive one hour differences as I thought about some places that might be trapped between both!

This really is a very difficult subject to figure out. I'm glad there's a whole thread devoted to it.

Sure, time is just an invention by watchmakers. Sneaky fcukers.

It's a Hallmark concept.

You jest and all but I never know what people mean by forward and backwards. I always need someone to tell me 7:00 => 8:00 or 8:00 =>7:00.

Or else I need to sit down and think real hard about the hands of the clock moving forward and backwards and ... oh wait... I got it !! That's me sorted until next winter!

GMT has been replaced by Coordinated Universal Time, confusingly abbreviated as UTC. You will hear that announced on various Time stations which broadcast from different locations around the world. They can be received on simple radios. This is a recording of the one from Canada.

There is one in England and another in Germany which send out signals to among other things regulate radio controlled clocks and watches in Europe. Now isn't that interesting.
