Don't forget to put your clocks forward.

A lot of them do it automatically now.

Few people might be a bit early Monday...

A bit late actually, because I've just done it. Got into work thinking it was half past eight and it was in fact half past nine. I feel peculiar, slightly jet-lagged.

If we HAVE to do this ... & I'm very much of a mind that we should move forward, permanently ... it's a shame it's done so late on. We move the clocks back a month too early and forward amonth too late. It was light at 6am even today ... so we could easily have moved on a while ago.

Oh, the Scot's don't want us to. Well, feck 'em.

Anyway, LOVE the long days. Keep 'em rolling.

Cannot wait to get home in sun light best bit about the clock change I am truly fed up of getting back in the dark.

My clocks will now be correct for a period of six months

How odd, Bobo, that you and George Bush think alike, but he was in a position to change things (and Canada had to follow) - we've been on Summer time for a few weeks now and go back later in the Fall as well.

When Yogi Berra first went to San Francisco to play baseball just after the vernal equinox he said, "Boy, it sure does get dark late early out here."

Nipped home this dinnertime to effect the timeshift:

Car clock (Fabia VRS) adjusted before setting out home
Watch (ancient Casio) - finally remembered what to do and managed to change it
Computer - how did it know?
Mobile (Nokia) - easy peasy, changed
Bedside light (automatic timer) bedroom - manually whisked it (clockwise) round to correct settings
Lamp in dining room (automatic timer) - manually whisked it (anticlockwise) to correct settings
Oven clock - after futile attempts to set clock time rather than oven time, rang wife who told me how to do it.
Wife's alarm clock (battery driven bedside jobby) - changed, once I'd dug it out of a pile of stuffed toys.
DVD/video recorder (attached to skybox/TV) - changed after tuning into terrestrial fuzz in order to get onto digital menu [note to self, living in 21st century - must remove those analogue ariels/boxes/wires that do nowt anymore and reconfigure the entire rats nest of boxes so I can just turn the effing TV on when I want without having to faff around finding the right channel/setup]
Cuckoo clocks (x11) - changed to a mass cacophony of cuckooing
Old digital camera (Panasonic lumix) - changed
New digital camera (Nikon D-somethingorother) - how did it know? does it talk to the computer?
Dog - automatically adjusted to whatever time is inconvenient to wake up at.
Combi boiler - can't find instruction manual and it's got more dials than a moon rocket - fcuk it

Back to work after taking half an hour longer than I should have, and still to make up for the hour I lost this morning. Arrrrrrrrgh.

I do worry about you sometimes You nipped home at lunch JUST to adjust your clocks?!

I've got a lot of them. And if I didn't do it this dinnertime it'd have to be done tonight in precious early doors drinking time.

Mmmm. I've stocked the fridge with Cidre and and set it to 2 deg C. I won't be giving two hoots what time it is when I get home

And more power to you Bruce.
But, when you voluntarily house eleven antique black forest cuckoo clocks, you find you have to make time to keep up with time, because if those little blighters get too far out of synch then they literally cuckoo at all hours of the day and night. No rest for the time-obsessed

the apple computer TM ipod / iphone / ipad will ballz this task up proper. ^

I'd be careful what you wish for, ladies and gents. Living in a land with multiple time zones is a pain at the best of times as Monty and others will be well aware. But you get used to it just as does the UK with European zones. Then add summer time, when some areas adopt it and others don't, and it becomes a bloody nightmare. I believe that NSW and Vic have finally synchronised the two change overs but Qld - to the north of NSW - doesn't participate. That results in a quite densely populated area (Tweed Heads/Coolangatta) working on different clock times. Perhaps as a local it might be overcome but to an 'outsider' in can be dreadfully confusing.

I always did see you in my mind's eye as an eccentric axe-wielding troll living in a Hansel and Gretel-esque hut in the woods; turns out I was right!

I'd put up a picture of the massed cuckoo clocks, but I don't know how to.

I'm expecting them to line up 4-5-1 with the big ginger cuckoo clock between the sticks.

Cheers. It'll have to wait as imageshack is a banned site (Networking/Gambling category ) at work.
I'll have to do it at home between walking dog, drinking beer, going to footie, and sleeping.

And wrong, I've got a rather large cuckoo and quail alongside an augenwender (eye-turner) up front and so they line up 4-4-2.

Axman out!

are we playing Nigel Reo Cuckoo in the hole?
