For the sake of the cows up here I want everyone having sex on Friday night or Saturday morning to orgasm by making a cow sound like moooooooooooooooo.
This is deliberate to kill my last few remaining brain cells isn't it?
I have friends in LA that I have to take 8 hours off from our time when chatting with them and currently they are visiting a state that is only 6 hours behind us. - and now we are going back an hour AGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!
And then LA is going back an hour on Sunday, 2 November 2014 so all should return to the usual madness.

Look at you you swanky show off with your American friends!
Can you imagine what it would be like if we all stuck to one time all over the world. :eek:
It's worse in one country like the USA where you can (deep breath!) get on a plane in LA at 12 mid-day, fly for about 5 hours to Washington DC (Which is in the future by 3 hours) and so get there at 8pm in the evening!
So take off at 12 mid-day, land at 8pm at night and it only takes 5 hours.
Then there is the trip back into the past the other way. :eek:
Take off from Washington at 12 mid-day - Fly for 5 hours to LA and land at 2pm!
Always look forward to the clocks going back in october. It heralds lighter mornings until the end of november when we are back to the dark mornings as we are now. But getting up for work when it is dark is a real stinker. Not fussed about dark nights. Though you can close the curtains and shut the world out.

I don't think dark mornings last long once the shortest day hits us in December.

The mornings actually get darker until the beginning of January. The earliest sunset is around 13th/14th December. Of-course whether you notice this is down to the weather - if it's clear you notice light in the sky much earlier or later than if it is cloudy.
Annoyingly, most of mine still don't. The clock on the microwave doesn't, the clock on the oven doesn't, the clock on the central heating doesn't, the clock in my car doesn't, even the clock on my mobile phone doesn't! In fact the only clock that does is my bedsite alarm clock.
That's a point how does it work with the clocks going back on the nightshifts?
It depends on how you are paid but those on salary per shifts ( before overtime) it tends to even up as you do a 9 hour shift when they go back and a 7 hour one when they go forward.
I wonder, is there some sort of code, or terminology, that is used for situations where it is necessary to be precise about which of the two hours from 01:00 to 02:00 you mean, on this day of the year? Eg, in court, where a crime was committed between 01:15 and 01:45, did the crime take place over the course of 30 minutes or 90 minutes? Or military/navigation issues, etc etc...? How do they notate it?
An extra hour of sex.
You'll all do what us Scots tell you to do. If we say turn your clocks back then DO IT okay. And someone get me a sandwich and tea, i'm hungry.
Well go on, chop chop. Those sammiches aren't gonna make themselves.
Mmm, haven't come across you yet.... or maybe I have in a previous life.
I bloody hate the clocks going back, it's bad enough not being able to sleep then the eejits give an extra hour to stare longer into space!
Just what I need, an additional hour a day in my life.

I didn't say they liked me!

If they did that, it would mean pre 4am June sunsets even in the south, which would be a huge waste.

Last year our nightshift finished an hour earlier.

What about those who don't go to bed until after the change?:D
