Daylight saving

[Bones]

Daylight saving begins here in less than a week when we put our clocks forward one hour.

Currently, the boards don

[missioncontrol]

I'm not sure when we set our clocks but we will be setting them back one hour whenever that is

We ain't havin none of yer crazy awwssie-farmer daylightsavunstimes shenaniguns!!

I always think daylight saving is a dumb idea. You gain an hour of sunshine in the morning when most people are either working or travelling to work and thus don't care, and you lose an hour's light in the evening when most people have their leisure time and want the extra light.

Makes to sense to me.

Crazy thing is not all of Aus will be under daylight savings.  Stupid WA government yet again creating a wider time gap between us and the rest of the country.

umm what??
You start an extra hour earlier in the morning (ie reducing the morning sunlight) and finish an hour earlier in the afternoon meaning you have an extra hour of sunlight at night.  I wish we had it here.

They're changing the typical day/week they move the clocks here in the America's this year.  Or are they enacting that next year?  Well, I know they're gonna change the days.

Doh, I was looking at it from a UK perspective. I forgot that you guys have your summers and winters reversed. When we change our clocks very shortly (can't remember the exact date) we will get an extra hour's light in the morning.

Basically what I'm saying is that I think we should be permanently on the summer arrangement.

I set set it a half hour either way and leave it alone.

Blame Ben Franklin.  Wasn't it his idea?  Something to do with more hours of sunlight for people to work?  There was no leisure back then.

You guys live in strange lands.

In Aus the whole point of daylight saving is to gain daylight in the evenings. In summer the sun is up at 5:00 am and setting around 8:00pm.

Pretty sure the ---smurfing--- clocks get set back a ---smurfing--- hour this ---smurfing--- weekend.

I hate ---smurfing--- daylight savings.

It would probably make more sense to you if you had kids that walk to school in the morning. It's not a good thing for them to do in the dark.

[Stingray]

Kinda sucks to have to drive to work with the headlights on, but I'd still rather have that extra daylight in the evening.

Since the beginning of time man has yearned to destroy the sun.

That will be job 2 for my army of killer robots, right after world domination.

But I thought your robots were solar powered

A Hoi Hoi I too would like to extinguish the rays of that oppressive yellow demon.  Let me know if you need a sun blocking device--used only briefly...

[Bones]

But Sir!  Every plant and tree will die, owls will deafen us with incessant hooting...the town's sundial will be useless.

Those fellows at Radio Shack said I was mad, but who's laughing now?!?!?

It's not changing until 2007.
