Daylight savings time

[Skywolf]

Anyone else feeling really stupid this morning for forgetting daylight savings time? I emailed friends about it, told people to remember, but sure enough, spent the better part of this morning an hour behind. Now catching up on computer times which aren't programed to switch for another 3 weeks and then when they do I get to switch them all back! Not a life shattereing event but annoying.

You have confused me. Does this apply in the UK?? No one else has mentioned it. I thought we don't change for another few weeks :?

No UK stays as normal, last sunday in march for us i.e. change your clocks saturday night 24th march.
Its USA who have changed, normally they would have been first sunday in April!!
Only those people with microsoft Vista or latest update for XP will have computers that change at the right time a bit messy!

Yeah, it's just the U.S. I think I'm the only person in southern California that's not ecstatic about getting an extra hour of daylight. Means I have to go running later in the day when the sun finally goes down! Aaargh, I hate this disease.

We have the same problem here in Australia.For the late spring/summer months many of our eastern board states change to Eastern Standard daylight saving time,except queensland where I live.It is very hard remembering the time difference when calling friends in other states and also hard for businesses.then go to the west of Australia and it is different again,made worse for the fact that Australia is so large and encompasses so many time zones. Just when you get use to it ,it is time to put the clocks back....madness and mayhem

i thought i entered the twilight zone!!

i missed some of my tv programs... i was like wait this should be on in an hour...not now. i didn't know what the freak was going on... i kept looking at all my clocks and my cell phone and computer.... i also setted my cell phone alarm to wake me up for an important meeting that day...thank god i woke-up on my own hours early.

then it all donged on me...i heard about the time change but didn't know exactly when.

it took 3 days i think for my cell phone to correct it's time.
