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.
What happens if we go and change it back :P

It'll be wrong! Or look silly at least.

Sadly I missed it, as I was somewhat pissed at the time after a particulary good night out (not a very late one, but it did start at 4PM). I spent my extra hour in bed...umm in bed.

Like many people, I've also spent all day declaring 'it's not really <insert time>, it's actually <insert time -1 hour>' and moaning about the fact that putting the clocks back now means that within a couple of weeks it will be pitch black at 5 O'Clock in the afternoon.

Oh well, roll on April so all the fun can happen again.

I was out in London for a friends birthday, so thankfully the extra hour cancelled out my commute home. Sadly it did not cancel out my hangover.
