Stupid clocks go stupid forward this weekend.

Trying to work out what time to do breakfast in bed for the Mrs extra hard. Think I pulled it off at 8am though she may have just gone straight back to sleep

I mean that just all reads very wrong this time of the morning.

Best Sexy Time is here!

The sun is shining, the birds are tweeting, the tea is made, be gone dark evenings!

 

[slinxy]

lucky all but one of my g shocks are automatic in one way or another (one on my wirst the other is around the house somewhere)

Spoiler: g shocks

They will auto sync correctly to the second at some point...

the rest I like to get correct to the second... always had since a kid using teletext.

moonswatches are done

Spoiler: moonswatch

twin graphs are done

Spoiler: twin graph

FW collection done

Spoiler: FW

Water heating system, alarm clock, bedroom clock, desk clock, office clock, cooker, microwave and kitchen clock all done.

The mechanical watches and the ones in storage are going to get done when I wear them...

but 5 days a week I end up wearing the apple utlra watch anyway...

 

[something daft already!!]

Time is an illusion, BST, doubly so.

Got up at 10am this morning. Stupid clock change.

 

[Kainz]

So confused. So does it mean DARK early mornings? I like dark early mornings.

Yeah, but not for too much longer.

Both our cars updated, and one is 11 years old!

I will remember to change the clock in the van in a week or so after grumbling at it so many times for confusing me.

Edit: still sure how to change the clock on cooker after we got a new one last year. The old one needed the mains turning off, so I going with that .

Thought I'd laid in until 1000. Turns out the smart watch was not so smart and hadn't changed to BST.

I was just going to sleep around 1 and kept an eye on my phone, which skipped straight to 2. Garmin watch did likewise. DAB radio didn't, but was on BST when I woke up this morning.

One thing I've never understood about European DST is why the clocks go back approximately two months before the winter solstice, but we have to wait until three months after to put them forward again. I've always reckoned it's light enough in a morning to start BST a month earlier. Read earlier that the US does early March to early Nov (9th and 3rd respectively this year) which seems much more sensible.

sensible

No time change is sensible, ergo your entire post is invalid

As I said earlier.

I was robbed.
Someone stole an hour of my sleep.

Not a great fan of the clocks changing, especially losing an hour of sleep as it can take me ages to adjust.

Longines clock at end of swimming pool had to be adjusted by it's hand - long pole, but had a pleasant rerun of the suns rays coming through window whilst swimming 9am ish.

Same deal. Longer pole.

I normally wake up at 6 which is too early so I was looking forward to waking up at 7 this morning. I woke up at 6...

Sods law.

Ok so I was robbed last night. Someone stole an hour off me.

Why can't they do the change at midnight ? Why does it happen at 01:00? Why can't it change at 11 or 12 ?

 

[Infidelus]

Stupid pointless clock change of the year number 1 - tick.

One day they'll get rid of it ... one day ... maybe ...
