This deserves comment. If you had an extra hour of life what would you do? The sands of time are ............whatever they do!!!

[Pickle]

Just need to figure out how to convince a baby and a toddler to stay in bed for an extra hour tomorrow?!

[????]

young kids and babies don't give you an exrtra hour...I'm looking forward to being up anytime between 4 and 5 tomorrow

A dash of zopiclone in the milk and job's a good un

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Thanks for the reminder, I always forget about this! :)-D

[KalamityKel]

About the zopiclone?

[????]

Does it work in the day too?

[KalamityKel]

and on the slightly older members of society?

[Brendan]

Back where? They're in the same place they've always been.

I have to say thats never the impression that I have had when reading some of your comments on here.

Methinks the Lady is too modest by far.:)

[KalamityKel]

I'm sure this whole time change thingy has put me in some kind of parallel quantum time thingamy... this is all too weird!

[*Bob*]

Careful, Kel.

Tony is trying to work his irresistable magic on you. He's warming-up the cherry wine and Sade LP as we speak.

[Keef]

Always find it better to put them back in the morning, that way you really do get to enjoy the extra hour when the sweet realisation dawns!

[djfitz]

This year I'm going to leave my clocks as they are and carry on as before.

I expect to be fired by Wednesday.

[????]

Can anyone tell me why and how hour exists? Is there some natural event that takes an hour? Why 24 in a day? A unit of 10 would be far better? etc etc

[djfitz]

God said so. It's in the Bible.

[*Bob*]

Be thankful for it.

If the French have their way and manage to push through this new EU directive, time will instead be measured in units of 'onions'. And instead of the clocks going backward and forward, Britons will be required to spend two hours per year smoking, shrugging and eating the parts of animals that most right-minded people discard.

[djfitz]

Psalms 9.99

And, lo, God said unto me

"When the peoples of Swiss get around to makingeth the clock, and that,

There shall be seven days in a week, just like my working week.

In each day shall be 24 units that are not just yours or mine. They shall be ours with a silent H.

Of these 24 you should spend 8 sleeping, 8 working, and 8 'doing stuff'.

During that 8 of work, you should have half of one for midday repast and a quater each before and afternoon - for parayer or tea.

Fag breaks don't count.

Any work after the eight hour or the fifth day gets time and a half for the first 5 hours and double thereafter.

Let it be so unto the peoples of Judea and beyond but if anyone's looking for me I'll be out for the afternoon"

Wikipedia says this about it:

"The hour was originally defined in ancient civilizations (including those of Egypt, Sumer, India, and China) as either one twelfth of the time between sunrise and sunset or one twenty-fourth of a full day. In either case the division reflected the widespread use of a duodecimal numbering system. The importance of 12 has been attributed to the number of lunar cycles in a year, and also to the fact that humans have 12 finger bones (phalanges) on one hand (3 on each of 4 fingers).[1] (It is possible to count to 12 with your thumb touching each finger bone in turn.) There is also a widespread tendency to make analogies among sets of data (12 months, 12 zodiacal signs, 12 hours, a dozen)."

If time was decimal it would have made highschool maths a lot easier.

[Asset]

didn't the Mayans get it all worked out so there was no need for a leap year?

[SteveT]

I find the 'hour' a pain, changing digital clocks, and CH system, a drag.

Can't we get rid of it and adopt to eurotime?
