Daylight Savings - Year 2

[jono]

I agree, daylight savings is a great thing, especially this year now that i've changed jobs and dont get up at 4:30am any more West Aussies really need to lose the small country town (espeacilly Perth) mentality that has and will continue to plague this state, join the 21st century or Dullsville will reign forever. Now that I work in an office 8 till 4 the extra hour will be great, espeacilly on tuesday and thursday for cricket training

EXACTLY!!!!!
my grandparents are in this "we dont want change" position. because they simply cant be bothered to change.
shits me to tears. i dont really see the big fuss with it. when i start work it will be gret to have some extra time to do what i want to do in daylight, espically if it involves being outside as i would have just been inside for about 10 hours.

The other thing is playing summer season of touch, the first game is at 6.05 - sometimes it's still in the mid 30's - I am going to die!

What happened to the TWF v JB's touch match? Are we rescheduling?

pre season training in 30 plus heat isnt fun either as we found out last year. we ended up down the pool after a couple sessions.

are we still waiting for that touch game?

[jono]

its not that bad. take lots of water with you. or just play without shirts?
think i found myself a touch team for this season. gotta go to rugby club tommorow to see how it goes. first real test on my knee. i'm comming back!

i really dont care how warm it is when i am playing sport. as long as i dont pass out and i get time on the field. i just love being out there!

and we win!

As ive mentioned before, daylight savings was introduced here to keep shiny pants, air conned cool, office johnnies who are susceptible to paper cuts happy when they pop outside at 5 pm drive home pick up the ball and chain, 2.2 kiddies and go to the beach to get get wind burned by the seabreeze and sit back and say........gee darl aint this beaut! God give me strength.

Damn, sounds like I need to get those pants!

You know the one thing about DLS that really gets me - it f@#&s up my outlook calendar every time, don't know where I'm 'spposed to be - such is the life of an office johnny............

My computers & phone change the time automatically. If only the kitchen and car clock were as smart.

my grandparents are in this "we dont want change" position. because they simply cant be bothered to change.
shits me to tears.

Wait till they are as old as TLH than they'll be bitching about everything.

[jono]

lol they must be older than TLH then

Harry - set the time right on your computer and Outlook will follow...
Start; Control Panel; Date & Time!!!

Ahh, this is the PC at work - mine (at home) works fine. It's those pesky IT people (at work) who can't get their #$&@ together!!!!!!

[Em-Forcer]

Ah, those pesky IT people - the same the world over.

Daylight savings rules! If the curtains fade, buy new ones. If the cows start producing sour milk, have steak for dinner. If the kids won't go to bed, ummmmmm havent got an answer for that one just yet

[Burgs]

Why is it that only Pro daylight savings people talk about curtains and milk?
Feel free to eat more steak though, should be worth about a dollar a kilo going by the farm gate price

[Skiza]

I have to admit, i wasn't too sure about it at first but its growing on me....slowly!

[hopep]

Yes Skiza - thats the point ... hitler introduces changes to social structures gradually so the populus became 'used to them' ....

another conspiracy theory to theorise and philosphise over ? You be the judge!

[jargan83]

I was quoting my girlfriends grandmother about the curtains etc. Was just highlighting some of the stupid arguements for those against daylight savings. Could be because i grew up in Sydney where its a permanent fixture as to why i'm pro daylight savings
