Remember to change your clocks forward

Winter didn't really ever came, but now it's time for spring and summer. So just keep in mind that on Sunday 25th we have to change our clocks one hour forward to readjust to the summer time.

Enjoy the biergarten season!

In previous years most countries in Northern hemisphere changed at same time (Europe and USA) but this year the US changed LAST weekend so
many transatlantic conference calls in our company have been messed up.

By time we get used to the time difference change it will be back to previous state.

Does this mark the official beginning of biergarden season? I hope I don't forget to do this and show up at the wrong time for work!

HEM. yups we changed a few days back. If the gov't decides it's not as productive as they hope then they may go back to the regular clock change schedule next year if they so choose.

Either way, reminding people to do something ten days in advance seems pretty pointless to me. More likely to spread confusion than reduce it.

Oma Stelzbok: do you work on sunday, because the clocks are usually changed at around 3 a.m. on sunday.

No I don't but by the speed I am going at, I would totally forget to change the time at some point over the weekend. So come Monday, whoopsie!

Doesn't it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when you realise that however drunk you are, you can probably still handle maths problems like adding or subtracting one to another number, and are thus more still more competent than some.

Oma Stelzbok doesn't your computer change automatically, therefore reminding you?

I read "don't forget to change your socks"

Not sure...We'll find out either way!

Can someone set their phone to call me and remind me of this please?

Cue endless tedious discussion on why we have summer/winter time!

We put the clocks forward in Hamburg to let everyone know that it's officially summer and that we might have a more pleasent type of rain for a few weeks and that we can start carrying our smaller brollies.

Did anyone else read "Remember to change your SOCKS forward???"

So instead of it raining sideways, the rain takes a more natural, horizontal course. Nice! I'm booking my flight as we speak...

Last year I met a colleague for lunch 2 weeks afer the clocks changed. He got there an hour early, had forgotten to change his clocks and had been living on the wrong time for 2 weeks

thanks for the reminder - I've got a flight that day and knowing me, would have missed it!

I and a friend once arrived almost an hour late for a classical concert in Prague and disturbed the whole audience cos we didnt know about the time change - ridiculous thing was we had been sightseeing that day and didnt notice the different time on any of the clock towers we saw/photographed!

Do you criticize your birthday presents? Just wondering.
Thanks of the reminder Panama.

thanks. i am flying to US on sunday, i am sure i would skip this and miss the plane.

I don't think many people will be getting up in the middle of the night to move their clocks forward but the fact remains that summer time begins at 2am on Sunday.

Bu actually I thought they change the time last sunday of March and actually 31st is the last sunday ??

And that is completely accurate Kay. Could one of the mods change the title. As said by Kay, it may be a bit irrelevant since no one will wake up at 2 or 3 to change their clocks, but just for the sake of correctness.

Hmm, I guess you are on the wrong year Jackal, 31st is Saturday.

But quite a few will probably be getting home around then after a night on the town.

At which point it suddenly becomes 3am, so you could still argue that summer time begins at 3am!

You could, but without much success.

Panama thanks

Wow i was so blind, since I saw this topic I checked the calendar (actually many times) and always thought 31st was a Sunday. Actually I was wondering since then how could the time change on 25th without any rule or something.

The funniest thing is I have a flight on 28th, and may be I would have missed it.

Thanks for this topic

I have three Satalite clocks at my place, so everything just sort of changes for me ! cool.

Had forgotten all about this!!

Oh yeah, NOW is a good time for a reminder!

Can someone remind me in about 4 1/2 hours?

In the summer time when the weather is high...

Edit : Kay, seeing as the clocks changed at 2am to 3am the summertime did actually begin at 3am!

I'll need another reminder in 2 weeks when I'm back at my apartment because I cannot change the clocks there until I get back there. All the ones I have here, have been changed already. And now I am still up even though it is past 4am.

Except that the TT clock is an hour behind all went well here.

For the TT clock to be at the right time you have to change the Board Settings in your profile. Check the "Is daylight time in effect" option and it will show the right time.

Thanks. My brain is still not in working order since the shots on Friday.

Ok, I forgot.
Now what?
What time will the clock police come?
take care,
space

An hour earlier than expected.

Holy F!

My computer states 3:00 am

I have to wake up one hour earlier Monday morning!

Watch out people! (Didn't notice the time change today)

Wait, is there one?

Did the US spring forward early this year?

Yes - last weekend. Chaos will all transatlantic conference calls.

REMINDER to change your clocks this weekend!! Was on the radio this morning - will no doubt forget again by then though.

Thanks for the reminder, have to catch a plane at 7:30. I guess it would be a bit of a problem if I forgot to do this.

Why did nobody tell us before? We pay tax!

So "spring forward and fall back" actually means spring forward, look at your clock and fall back into bed. Well, that is what I am going to do.

Fuckitall, I aint changin nuthin. Time cops can just KMmfA. (KM stands for "Kiss My").
I actually don't like "Time"
The peoples try to pair us together (space and time) but we always be arguing. always wanting like..Give me some space, WTF? give me some time...
Set your space forward and you be right on track..
Take care,
space

But the the entire space/time continuum would be outta balance.

Does anyone really know what time it is? Does anyone really care?

I caught out one TTer who had set his clock back 1 hour, meaning in his view I turned up 2 hours early.
Sorry!
