globaldiver Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Strange that the world bases it's time on GMT, but we are away from it for 7/12ths of the year. Quote
freds dad Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 But why do they go forward 2 hours this year? Quote

tomski Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I was under the impression the further north you go, the more light you get! Quote
Spider Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I was under the impression the further north you go, the more light you get! I hope you're fishing or pissed Tomski, otherwise that's the dimmest thing you ever written. Quote
Casino Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I hope you're fishing or pissed Tomski, otherwise that's the dimmest thing you ever written. i can only think youre not considering all the evidence Quote
no balls Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I hope you're fishing or pissed Tomski, otherwise that's the dimmest thing you ever written. especially when you think it should get warmer when you get higher up as you're nearer the sun whereas in reality it gets colder. Which is just fucking weird Quote
Smiffs Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It's colder because Father Christmas shits snow you dim fucks Quote
tomski Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) I hope you're fishing or pissed Tomski, otherwise that's the dimmest thing you ever written.Nope was being serious. Oh well. Thought nights drawed in a bit later further up the island you go! Edited October 25, 2014 by tomski Quote
MalcolmW Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I was under the impression the further north you go, the more light you get! Only in the summer!. There are reasons why Parkruns are 9.30am in Scotland but 9am elsewhere in UK. Quote
Big E Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Only in the summer!. There are reasons why Parkruns are 9.30am in Scotland but 9am elsewhere in UK. Because they are pisscans and wouldn't make 9 Quote
athywhite1958 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Because they are pisscans and wouldn't make 9 Is the correct answer Quote
MalcolmW Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Is the correct answer I said reasonS, but, yes, that is one. Quote
Danny G Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 I was under the impression the further north you go, the more light you get! If you go to the extreme north then it can be light non stop for around 2 months Quote
Traf Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 If you go to the extreme north then it can be light non stop for around 2 months It's like that in our house, as no fucker ever turns the lights off. Quote
Danny G Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 It's like that in our house, as no fucker ever turns the lights off. One of my pet hates along with leaving a window open when the heating is on Quote
exiledwhite2 Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 One of my pet hates along with leaving a window open when the heating is on Christ I thought I was angry when I read trafs post, no word of a lie given the lights we have, there can be well over 20 fucking bulbs burning at any one time in our place. A 3 bed semi. My missus turns the big lights on in the kitchen too (there's another light in there anyway), even though she's in the living room. What is the fucking point? Literally baffles me. But the heating with windows open really gets my goat 'you can't heat the whole fucking world' I say to my family, but ironically that's probably what they are doing Quote
birch-chorley Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 So Was I partly right? Yes mate but just the wrong way round It doesn't go dark in the summer and barely goes light in the winter the closer you are to the north pole Quote
tomski Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 Yes mate but just the wrong way round It doesn't go dark in the summer and barely goes light in the winter the closer you are to the north pole Isn't the thread called clocks going forward though? Cheers though Birch Quote
stevieb Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 'you can't heat the whole fucking world' I say to my family, but ironically that's probably what they are doing We've had this discussion before, women seem to think it's possible to get a cool summers breeze through a property whilst keeping temperatures somewhere near 35 degrees in the middle of November. We moved in August, baking the week we moved, came home from work on day 1 the heating was on full blast and freshly washed clothes all on the radiators. There's a fucking clothes line outside for fucks sake! I honestly reckon I could save over 50 quid a month on gas electric if the Mrs would play ball. Quote
Youri McAnespie Posted October 25, 2014 Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) The worst part of those circumstances described, is when you voice your opinion against waste - be it heat, light, food, water etc. you're regarded as some kind of anally-retentive control freak - whilst the wasters are obviously regarding themselves as being happy-go-lucky free spirits... The exact opposite is true, pissing away your resources is pissing away money, money that has to be earned. How can we be free(er) when we're all but trapped into working a good portion of time just to raise the portion of revenue that gets pissed away through waste? I live alone these days.
