In the Night Garden creeps me out, it's like a LSD flashback but with a lot of the logic removed. The Chuckle Brothers I want to kill simply because I dislike them.
Yes, I am the bitter ray of sunshine in your life, I know.

Realised I missed the point earlier, or at least I shouldn't give the impression I'm spending an hour perving at clocks. Strangely, ITNG's brand of baby nonsense makes more sense to me than Teletubbies or that rubbish GMTV one did. I'll spend the extra hour something. G'night.

I lost an hour last night!
Western Australia in their last year of a 3 year trial of daylight savings. WA is Australia's Texas so I fully expect it to get booted out when we have the vote....Just because the farmers have to change their way and poor pathetic people moan about it being bad for children and senior's health, I think the argument this week on our tabloid news program was that it causes car crashes!

As confidently predicted, the grunting and rumbling's too much - even with earplugs and a pillow over the head. One extra hour wasted.

Surely the pillow over *his* head would've solved the problem for you permanently, Andrew.

I'm gutted. I seem to have slept through my extra hour. I thought I was in good stead for getting up nice and early all next week but then I realised my phone had bastardingly updated itself in the night.

So, being me, a tidy freak, I got sick of seeing loads of old users who had changed the timezone to "GMT +1" back in the phpbb2 days before that useful DST box. Therefore I did a nice database query to set every user to UK time.
So naturally, if you're in Australia, Greece or generally not in the heart of our region, your timezone will be broken.
Change it back by clicking "account settings" then "board preferences" and using the things in there,
For my next trick, I intend to change everyone's date format to match the board default of D d M, Y H:i
No more silly 12hr clock or "OCT 26" nonsense.

Tonga Time sounds like a call to get up and dance...or drink... or both...
"Everyone get up, it's Tonga Time!"
