    Nope on Sunday they go forward.

    The clock-in machine at work automatically changed last weekend though. No idea why it was a week early ???

    Wait, so if I've got a flight at 2am..does that mean it's really gonna be at 3am or..is it gonna be at what would have previously been 1am?


    Shouldn't have booked flights at the start of spring..

    Its going to be the time it says on the ticket. If its 2am, its going to be 2am. Just set your clock forward at the right time.

    The clocks go forward at 1am GMT. So the time progression is 00:59 -> 02:00 Local time. There is no 1am local Irish time on Sunday morning.

    Is it just me, or did there seem to be a bigger deal about the clock going forward or back when we were young?

    Now, you barely hear about it

    Yes, your parents let you out to play an hour longer before darkness strikes :)

    Or fall forward, spring back if you've had a few drinks near a trampoline.

    Anyone know how this will affect Nitelinks? e.g. the 84n is at 12, 2 and 4.... will it now *technically* be at 12, 3 and 5? Given that one bus does all the runs, they would have to get another bus on the route if they wanted to do one at the "correct" times.

    So if you arrive at a nightclub at midnight do you only have an hour an a half before you're kicked out?

    No. Nightclubs run on regular time until they are closed. You won't lose an hour just like you don't gain an hour when the clocks go back.

    I was in a club last year, pretty sure it was a saturday, and we definitely got an extra hour!

    I'm also fairly certain they will close an hour earlier today.

    Won't affect it at all. You're good to go. So you are.

    Stalactites hang tight to the ceiling and stalagmites might try to grow to reach them :P

    It goes back next week in Oz. Also, the toilets shift back to the Irish direction.
