spacemunky Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 We did this 2 weeks ago. You lads are fuch'n slow! That being said, I'm glad when you guys switch. I get messed up on footy times otherwise
Guest Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Getting up at 0350 for an early shift I'm all for doing away with it all to be honest ?
SystonFox Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Me Mrs for the whole day today is "well it's 7.24am but REALLY it's 6.24". then tomorrow she's like "I'm tired, think it's from the clocks changing. It's 5.09pm but REALLY it's 4.09pm" this continues for about a week of blaming everything in the clocks changing and she forgets about it
China Black Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 I like the long days which go into the late evenings. Can't wait for when the sun is still out all the way until about 9:30pm.
Strokes Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Should just set our clocks halfway in between the two and stop this stupid pissing about.

Rincewind Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Did not know. Now I am two hours late getting up.
Great Boos Up Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Just so I keep up my 6 monthly rant. Move them half an hour and leave them alone. I'm about ready to go to war over this.
Webbo Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Quote Spanish MPs are to consider changing time zones by an hour after a report said this would improve eating, sleeping and working habits. The document by a parliamentary commission said that "Spain for more than 71 years has not been in the correct time zone". In 1942, the Spanish dictator General Franco moved Spain onto Central European Time to follow Nazi Germany. The report says Spain should be in the same time zone as the UK and Portugal.Spain - on the western edge of Europe - is currently one hour ahead of GMT during the winter and two hours ahead in the summer. 'Bringing into line' "We sleep almost an hour less than the World Health Organization recommends,'' the commission said. "All this has a negative effect on productivity, absenteeism, stress, accidents and school drop-out rates.'' It said that following the "wrong clock" explained why Spaniards tended to eat, leave work and go to bed later than their European neighbours. "Our timetable is determined more by the sun than by the clock. We eat at one o'clock in the afternoon and dine at eight, according to the sun, but the clock says it is three o'clock and 10 o'clock," the text said. It added that jumping back an hour would bring Spain "into line with Europe in many respects in which we currently differ". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24294157

Izzy Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Kids won't go to bed on time as they're still wired. This clocks forward/backward bolluxs needs to get in the bin.
Carl the Llama Posted 26 March 2017 Posted 26 March 2017 Was just beginning to enjoy waking up to a bit of light in the mornings... oh well. Tbh I think we should change the clocks more often: Yeah it sucks a bit having to go to bed earlier/get less sleep when we move them forwards but let's be honest it's worth it for that glorious day of an extra hour in bed. I want more of those days. In fact let's just turn the clock back an hour every night, who's with me?

Jimothy Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Don't forget after putting them forward an hour on Sunday, we're turning them back 44 years today.

EastAnglianFox Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Its only been a few days but this is the first time this clock moving forward lark has really affected me for some reason, literally cannot get to sleep until well after 1am and I've slept straight through three straight 6am alarms.
Detroit Blues Posted 29 March 2017 Posted 29 March 2017 Why do we still do this anymore? I hate setting my clock forward. Waking up at 5:30 becomes waking up at 4:30. Though when you fall back, and get an extra hour it is pretty glorious. But I'm not sure that's worth arbitrarily feeling like shit for a week or two.
