I am fed up doing this twice a year

[XabbaRus]

On a serious note if the clocks were left as they were up where I live it would be dark until 9-10 am. Thing is the further south you are it still gets dark later than it does up here. Thing is I doubt it will change, the same argument is tossed around every year and nothing.

I think it is easier to change the clocks twice a year than to keep posting multiple times on this thread. :hmm:

Avon Lady, You'll get a laugh out of this....

In most parts of the world, the switch away from Daylight Saving Time proceeds smoothly. But the time change raised havoc with Palestinian terrorists this year.

Israel insisted on a premature switch from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time to accommodate a week of pre-sunrise prayers. Palestinians refused to live on "Zionist Time." Two weeks of scheduling havoc ensued. Nobody knew the "correct" time.

At precisely 5:30pm on Sunday, two coordinated car bombs exploded in different cities, killing three terrorists who were transporting the bombs. It was initially believed that the devices had been detonated prematurely by klutzy amateurs. A closer look revealed the truth behind the explosions.

The bombs had been prepared in a Palestine-controlled area, and set to detonate on Daylight Saving Time. But the confused drivers had already switched to Standard Time. When they picked up the bombs, they neglected to ask whose watch was used to set the timing mechanism. As a result, the cars were still en-route when the explosives detonated, delivering the terrorists to their untimely demises.

You may want to pick up the T-Shirt with the story on it.

Now everyone please make sure you put your clocks forward......
