I hate this time of the year

[patricks148]

good news is the clock in the car is right again

 

[USER1999]

Off on a tangent here but who actually had to physically change any clocks in the home last weekend?

Yep, antique clock in the lounge, two cooker clocks, and 7 watches, that I keep on watch winders.
One car has changed itself, one has a non functioning clock, and one has the time wrong, but you never see it as I have the display set to range.

Ha. It used to live in the bedroom but I can’t sleep with the noise so it got moved to the bathroom by default more than anything!

It works then

You too?

I love it.
At last, the clock in my car is the right time again

6 weeks to adjust for 1hr

Take it you never go on holidays then those time differences must screw you for the entire year...

I never go on holiday. I do not even have a passport .

He stops at the halfway house for lunch. Six hour round...

When it comes to golf I have a bit of routine to help me stop getting the shakes (a common occurrence for me if I do not eat regularly) my 'lunch' is normally taken on the 14 tee where always have a little wait) yesterday I started to feel the shakes come on the 10th tee.

Do you have two cookers with clocks or a cooker with two clocks!

Either way, why?

Just adjust gradually each round. Next time make yourself wait until the 11th. Then next time the 12th. Before long you'll be back to the 14th.

Hey-up Marc... are you in Leeds now? Playing where?

Yep living in Leeds. Not a member anywhere at the mo - I’ve played about five rounds in the last two years I reckon. It’s my new year resolution...

Ha! 😁

One is an oven, and the other a combi microwave. Luckily the plate warming drawer does not have a clock!

Oh, the deprivation

Some absolute "ding dong ends" surfacing on this thread!

edit: especially near the beginning of the thread

Yep some of the stuff said towards the OP is very poor , personal and derogatory- doesn’t paint the forum in a good light

70 countries that have daylight saving noted here:

Oh the good old Daylight Savings thread, sometimes I miss DelC ( only sometimes)

Please remember that we are all different, hold different opinions and have different levels of grumpyness.

Be nice out there 👍

not if you are a beginner and a heading to the Cairngorms;(. Funicular is closed and won't reopen this year and may not for the foreseeable future. people running CM have also laid off 50 ski instructors

Was thinking Alps trips rather than Scotland.
True re Cairngorm, grew up near there and it was ok for my generation, however has been run into the ground of late by Natural Retreats, knocks on to local economy negatively. Ski area mismanaged for decades.
Luckily my nearest spots are Glencoe (1 hour) then Nevis (1.25 hr), not exactly Val d'Isere but better than nothing.......sometimes.
