ACT to get extra daylight savings

about time. It starts too late (dawn seems to happen at about 3am) and finishes waaaay too early. Let the curtains fade, damn the torpedoes full steam ahead!

@GnT … thank you. So more daylight savings … cool! Only problem is it makes it harder to follow the English Premier League. 😛

@moff – I’ve long considered the economic way forward for Australia is to divide the working week into 3/4 instead of 5/2. Under that scenario, part time workers take up the slack for the 3 days, but industry rolls into constant motion, rather than stop start.

I think we need an 8 day week – half on and half off. Imagine how happy and relaxed and employed everyone would be. There is absolutely no downside…

HC – yes, but NSW is also changing, as is Victoria to be in line with Tasmania.

The ACT will remain on the current daylight savings regime until Chuck Norris says we can change. Then he will roundhouse kick us until we change it, just to make sure we do it.

Woe betide any calendar makers who get it wrong. Chuck does not take kindly to wankers who stuff up calendars.

Dunno what planet I’ve been living on … haven’t we always been inline with NSW?

Totally unreasonable!!! Can you imagine how this is going to confuse the birds???
Not to mention my manager who will undoubtedly turn up late every day for a week using the same ‘i forgot it was daylight savings’ excuse every day…

@Ralph No you’ll get your erection at the bus stop. Embarrassing times we live in. Might explain why buses aren’t stopping at certain bus stops though.

Having spent the last four years in Brisbane, while they had their daylight saving debate, the only credible argument against it came from the owner of the drive-in cinema. He couldn’t start his films until later.
All other arguments against it as just tosh.
