Aw Libby... I wonder what the world record for not-realising is? Has someone gone an entire 6 months, until the clocks go back again, and then thought "Ah now it's all back to normal, I've been turning up late for things all summer, wonder why that was?"

Most of the time I find out because my PC tells me he switched to winter- or summertime.

Otherwise I would not even bother. All that switching about has no use anymore, by the way.

Better just stop doing it. I feel lousy for a whole week when they switch.

And think about the wee burdies, completely van hun melk, no, Claire?

waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! Mijn Nederlands is erg slecht as you well know!

... I know van = of (or from), hun = their, and melk = milk... but this leaves me no closer to knowing what the hell you mean

Help out a struggling Clairey Foreigner here, Izmeister!

Well, I searched for an equivalent in English, but it just means that you feel completely disoriented or completely stunned/baffled. A bit like "gobsmacked" or "flabbergasted" maybe...

I still prefer of their milk

Cool. File under: discombobulated

in common phrase:
Some friends and me went to Antwerp where we met some lovely people and we were of their milk.

Sorry but this is worth adding, courtesy of The Wee Mum -

I just uttered the word "discombobulated" to her, after writing that post, and she said "It is a terrible thing to be, a discombobulee"...

Discombobulee - n. a person who is undergoing a process of discombobulation

I love My Wee Mum

she is one of your of their milk people then, even though points must be deducted for using it is instead of t'is

It was stream-of-consciousness James, don't question her, she's an artist

It was followed by "Jings crivens help ma boab!" or something similarly quaint...

Still, no reason not to fritter away further precious time posting on a silly message board, eh Zeno

GET TAE WORK!

Twas my lunch break, so I had an excuse

Thanks for the luck, to you and Pat, BTW

Faffing about with the clocks to try to make the day longer is like trying to make a piece of string longer by cutting off one end and tying it to the other.

I hate it. I got up at 6am (GMT) today. An hour bastard early!

F*cking farmers.

What, do you still tell it's time to get up oop north by the sound of the whippets howling to be fed??

Silly boy. We know when it's time to go to bed because the sun starts coming up, and if we stayed out any longer we'd get all burny and die.

good point, well made.

No sh1t.

That is pretty much the pattern nights in Dave's Garden of Delight have tended to follow in my experience, yes

OMFG, I need to meet that woman! Granted, if she said anything like that in my presence, I'd have to hug her to death. But still...

Aw, Sinny

I told her I posted some of her wisdom on here, and she said "So now the whole internet knows your wee mum's daft?"

...only if "daft's" Scottish for "adorable," heehee!

And just to be on the picky side, but I am a stern teacher: it is 'oFF their milk' then

BTW, re-reading my own answer... I kinda wonder.

It is physically possible to smack one's gob, or, for that matter, gast someones flabber?

IZ.

I'll samck your gob in a minute!

Consider you flabber positively gasted then, James!
