Gah! It's that time of year again. When the Met Office or farmers or someone else I don't like starts playing silly buggers with THE VERY FABRIC OF OUR UNIVERSE - I.E TIME!!
Yep, if you're anything like me, you too will need to be informed that the clocks went back last night.
I have been wandering about in confusion all day today, looking at clocks which are still on British Summer Time and thinking "It's not that late already is it?" Discombobulation abounds as some clocks in my house automatically switch themselves, leaving me travelling back and forth in time depending on whether I'm in the kitchen or in the living room .
This audacious nonsense also means that it will soon be getting dark at bloody 3 o'clock in the afternoon, after which I'm awake for another 12 hours so what's the point in that? So that some in-bred twit can get up and plough a field at a godawful hour of the morning?
ENOUGH ALREADY! BOYCOTT TIME THIEVERY!!!
Thank you.
Where's a Timelord when you need one...?

Last December when my school ended at twenty to four, I got home at about half-past four on the bus. By the time I got home it had usually been dark for about 10 minutes.
This year the school ends at four. My bus is at half-past four, and I'll probably get home at five. It'll be dark before I even set off on my journey home.
Depressing. Not even goth, just plain depressing.

The clock on HL works on UTC, taking it's time from the hardware. Users set their local time in their profile, which allows those foreign types to choose Johnny-Foreigner-Time instead of Greenwich Mean Time.Motz wrote:Looks like Quiffy is boycotting it. The clock on Heartland hasn't gone back yet

And yes Korin, I'm deliberately ignoring the fact that longer days means longer holidays

Had to update from GMT +2 to +1 too...
Most of our clocks have gone automatic nowadays, but still a couple to change... Just realised my genuine fake watch was running a bit late

What you all seem to forget is-one Saturday soon you will fall out of a public house at 3pm ,barely able to stand or speak and that sense of well being you have will not disappear just because it's daylight.

@Boudicca: in your new avatar you look as if you're mourning. Did the time change hit you that hard?
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.
