    But what is time really / just a thing we look at and of which are controlled by to fit into the fake world of necessity to apply strong forwardness to corporations to expand into something like the size of a star and get bloated before it turns super-nova ? night and day is controlled by time 24/hour, but through all of this man/woman made time out the window and it feels like eternity.

    No need for time in my world, as it doesn't exist. it's all fake and controlling. Now where did I put that joint.

    We're wasting the extra hour on here when we could be love making.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭XplaygirlX


    Summer lovers get to enjoy their time in the summer and with the clocks going forward (which I hate) and winter lovers should get to do the same :) nothing better than an extra hour in bed and getting to relax in the evening, fire lit, cosy pjs, food and TV :)

    There's no such thing as time in true reality, it's just a man/woman made invention from the old ancient dial in the sand to control folk. If I can just say to you folk across the country... just get all the clocks and your watches and dump them in the rubbish and forget about time for 1 second ? true time is the most important thing we all need instead of being a slave to it.

    I'm not going to take it any-more.. Scream out as loud as you can into the street at the top of your voices and say...We will not take it any-more, and the time to do this for you all is at the same time in Ireland at exactly 3am coming up. Stick that head out the window and scream it for 10 minutes all at the same time and you will be a new person.

    Its all too confusing.... I'm in the middle of a 12 hour shift which could end up being 13!!!!

    One clock says 4:45 and another 3:45 which do i believe.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,766 ✭✭✭Bongalongherb


    In a situation like that of which you are in... don't panic, just sit down in the office in a low-light area for 8 minutes and close your eye's and think of snow flowing through your hair and onto your work-station. Trust me, it works removing your mind from the grind for just a few minutes within relaxation.

    When done after the 8 minutes you will open your eyes and feel refreshed.

    Dammit, forgot the timer/clock on the boiler :(

    There's always one . . .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 360 ✭✭The Dogs Bollix


    I was pricing those sunrise alarm clocks for the mornings. They're so expensive. I hate getting up in the winter.

    Stop having children

    Stop having children who already exist??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 335 ✭✭GrayFox208


    Hate the clocks going back, won't see daylight during the week until spring :(

    Extra hour in bed tonight though :D

    Do you work somewhere with no windows?

    I hear if you run around in circles fast enough you'll go back in time. Or fall and break something. I can't remember what happened.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭ToddyDoody


    I'm hoping they phase out this clocks madness. Maybe reduce it to 30 mins for a few years before getting rid of it altogether.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,499 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Do you know in the 30,40,50s it wasn't uncommon in the country to have different time zones between parishes. It was tradition in some places to stay on summertime, I believe the reasons were to do with milking cows.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,563 ✭✭✭monkeysnapper


    I'm thrilled , instead of our 1 year old waking at 6 every morning hell now be waking at 5 . :(

    Just be thankful you're not in Turkey today, they decided to delay the change but the automated systems didn't get the memo!

    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34631326
    Confused Turks are asking "what's the time?" after automatic clocks defied a government decision to defer a seasonal hour's change in the time.

    Along with other countries, Turkey had been due to "fall back" an hour on Saturday at the end of summertime daylight saving.

    The Turkish government however decided to postpone the change until after upcoming polls.

    But some clocks have changed the time regardless - causing bewilderment.

    The hashtag #saatkac - or "what's the time?" - is now trending in Turkey as Twitter users express confusion.

    And the Turks want to be part of the European Union, They're not ready with this balls-up. Come back in another 10 years if the union is still alive.

    CLOCKS ARE NOT LISTENING TO US PRIME MINISTER WHAT DO WE DO.

    get my hammer

    The last thing I think folk will be worried about now is the clocks/time. The fear is setting in now for the long work week. Surely there is a better way to enjoy life to it's fullest ? maybe Communism ?.

    Another month or so of Autumn to go yet. I don't like them going back no, darkness depresses me, getting up and coming home in the dark. While I appreciate that we're lucky to have mild winters for the most part in Ireland the short days are not something I look forward to.
    A week or so of autumn to go. November is winter.
