Daylight Savings Time

Really? You don't like it?

Most states in Australia have it. We don't and it's a shame.

We had a trial of it around 20 years ago and then a referendum vote was taken and it was rejected.

I loved it. It suited our lifestyle and weather here. You could come home from work, still have daylight to go for a walk on the beach and get home and have a bbq or play with the kids because it was still daylight.



With Daylight Savings Time here in the summer, it is still light enough to see outside as late as 9PM.

And do you mind it, or not?

I like being able to go for a walk in the evenings, but having it still be light outside at 9PM makes it very difficult to get a little girl to go to sleep at an appropriate time.

He had a beard and an AK47, so he was :arrr: even though he was a commie.  8)
The fact that kids buy shirts emblazoned with his image at shopping malls is some great irony.
:P   Internets are super serious.

Censorship, nuff said.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Nah, I mean nuff said, as in it would be redundant to rant on about how much censorship blows, when one word sums it up.

Exactly. Think of how much power is saved from not having to turn on lights until later.

Daylight savings is GREEN!!  :zoinks:

Is that like the 'daylight savings makes your curtains fade from the extra sunlight in the day' argument?

No, because daylight savings doesn't give you extra sunlight, it just shifts it from all that time before you are awake to that time before you go to bed.

What fucking retard thinks it fades your curtains? Nature does that (or are QLDers too retarded from fucking their sisters etc?)

It's just me theory that the closer you are to the equator, the more the sun has fried your brain.

Oh, it was a joke. Some rednecks up here came up with the most absurd things to make a case against us having it.

The faded curtains was one of the more deadbrained one....I mean, WTF?
