Just a reminder...tomorrow starts Daylight Savings, so tonight we need to turn our clocks back one hour. :eek:nthego:
 

We Aussies have had it for a long time.....we have it for 6 months of the year now.....
Bloody stupid idea, we hate it.....when it was for 3 months it was long enough,
then some "smartie" decided we should have 6 months of this rubbish idea.....CRAZY!!:aargh:
Can't see the point at all.....if I want to get up an hour early I can set the alarm.
:wtf:

... The farmers, however, were opposed to such uniformity.

That's odd, because I always thought that DST was instituted for the farmers' benefit. I recall seeing it explained that this would give the children an extra hour to perform chores in the morning before they went to school.
 
The only reason they keep it now is so those who don't go to work until the mornings about over and stay until dusk ( 9 to 5 ers) can have time to hit a stupid ball around the pasture every evening instead of doing something useful at home.
 
That midnight sun thing is a hazard for tourists. We got hardly any sleep in Alaska, we were shift workers, we didn't operate on normal internal body clocks. If the sun was up it was daytime, if we weren't tired we didn't sleep. It would catch up with us on the bus the next 'day' but someone would wake us if anything other than pine trees came up to look at so we didn't miss much.

Funny I have no trouble nodding off in the daylight these days though.
 
I've solved the problem: House clock on daylight saving:: Car clocks on normal time!:rolleyes:

Oh well I'll tell the truth, the car clocks are a pain in the A*SE to change!!!:banghead::banghead:
 
Well, we're back on real time now (before they started fooling around with the time) I got up at a quarter till four. My normal getting time has been around five or five thirty. I sometimes go back to bed after being up an hour, usually cold, and stay till breakfast is served.
 
I don't change car clocks either, it's not that hard to add or subtract 1 hour, even for numerical dyslexics like me. I've got a big clock in the kitchen that I can't get down to change this time so I just look at the other one. Too easy. :)
