When in reality we all gained an hour.

If you went to bed before the first 11 o clock yesterday, you would of slept an extra hour. Once the clock hit 12 it went back to 11. So either you stayed up an extra hour or slept an extra hour. Plus it was brighter when you woke up this morning, usually a sign of sleeping in late

Spent several minutes this morning trying to figure out what time it was. And yes I did google it. All of my electrical appliances are seemingly quite clever, as they all auto-updated without asking me!

Thank goodness for the kitchen clock being analogue.

can cause problems when nearly everything you own updates automatically between BST and GMT, laptop, phone, and watch are all on auto update, was waiting on the news on the radio to be sure

Saw the clock on my laptop change from 02:00 to 01:00, didn't know what the Hell was going on. Scary stuff.

I went to bed just before 12, and put the time on it back on hour. Then woke up thinking it was 7.45 so stayed in bed for a while. I got up when it said 9. Took me a few minutes to realise that my phone automatically adjusted itself, so it went back another hour even though I changed it myself.

It was actually 10

I hate the stupid clock change. Why change the time so it gets darker earlier on? Its the most depressing thing to be travelling home for the day when its pitch black.

But...you're homeless...?

Where are you driving home to?

to his cardboard box on the shopping trolley he robbed from tescos of course.

Don't worry Domo230, I've wrote into MTV and asked them to pimp your trolley like this lad's [nsfw]Pimped Trolley to cheer you up.

Thats nobodys fault but your own ! What age are you ? How many years around this time have you witnessed this time change occur ?

Just to let you know incase you forget. We will have the opposite situation on the last sunday in March 2009.

Over here in Sydney they moved the clocks forward! im now 11 hours ahead of you buggers! I didnt even know they were on a different clock changing schedule! in fact, the east coast of oz is on a different one to the west side! plays havoc with Outlook!

anyway, i too also have a story involving being an hour late for work....actually, i think i've just told it. :rolleyes:

edit: actually, this site went down at 3pm my time, so that would make me 12 hours ahead now!!
