    Just thought I'd let ye all know the clocks go back an hour tonight (something to do with the budget no doubt). Thanks to papa cushion for reminding me so that I don't go to work an hour early tomorrow. :)

    Lets see if this stops the 'what time is it?' threads in the next few hours. :) US clocks don't go back until Nov. 2nd. :/

    More than I've noticed that the cocks go black, is a magnificent opportunity for me to do a wordplay.

    One phone went back an hour, another one went forward, and the wall clock stayed the same. So confuzzled.
