Katy Gallagher is reminding you all to put your clocks forward at 2am on Sunday.

Alternatively you can wonder why your computer and your watch don’t match on Sunday morning, remember hearing something about daylight savings, and just adjust to match your computer.

On the plus side, more sun in the evenings and easier sleeping in thanks to darker mornings.

I just hate losing an hour until next year.

Katy’s such a caring individual. Doesn’t want you to miss the NRL final, though I suspect most people would have notice by Sunday afternoon that something’s not quite right.

Awww ripped off!! I was just starting to think the sun is coming up nice and early so I can thoroughly enjoy some of the morning before it’s time to start working!

set it to Daylight saving time all year around 🙂

There is a microsoft update on Windows 7 to fix daylight savings. I noticed it installing last night.

Who will think of the cows and my fading curtains!

Sleep is never a problem, but I hate the way it confuses the chooks and fades the curtains.

Daylight saving is a conspiracy to promote terrorism, pedophilia and to starve the population so we have to import more food from Communist and third world countries. The extra hour gives terrorists more time to plan and execute their attacks. Pedophiles love it because kids are out longer meaning more time for them to be abducted and molested. Terrorism and pedophilia did not exist before daylight saving came in. It has also caused crippling droughts because of the heightened evaporation caused by the extra hours of sunlight and heat. We have just experienced the worst drought in our history, terrorism is rampant and pedophiles are roaming the streets yet we are still hell-bent on sticking to daylight saving and causing even more problems, disruption and lowering of our standard of living.

I’d prefer it if the clocks didn’t change: my sleeping patterns don’t adjust well.

Time to emigrate to Queensland!

Won’t anybody think of the effects on chooks… or the effect of the sun on the curtains on the west wall? an extra hour of sunshine won’t help anything.
