Damn daylight savings.......again

[DX grunt]

Well some parts of OZ go back to being 3hrs behind the rest of us, this weekend!

Enough said.

[Winnie]

Who cares, we get more daylight! Yahoo!!!

[Bob]

Sorry Mate have to disagree LOL
Love Daylight Saving with Daylight extending to nearly 9pm by the longest day of Year.
Not for everyone but I love it

[Winnie]

It should be daylight savings all year.

[ozzymalone]

Yeah daylight savings were/are the best....pity i'm in Qld as these guys just wont go for it!!!! Just means more hours of daylight after work to go wheelin' from where i sit! #jealous much

[threedogs]

I love it at least you can do something after work, even leave to go camping, knowing enough light to set up
Kristoffa if it was daylight saving all the time what would it be called E.S.T or just normal
Big two thumbs up for me.

[macca]

Bring It On !!!!

I dislike winter, Summer play in the shed till 7.30ish, then light the BBQ for dinner... fantastic.
Winter cold and miserable hide inside lighting the fire at 4.00pm.... blow that.

Plus its light too early now, birds doing their wake up song at 5.15 thismorning LOL

[sam697]

Whoot whoot...... bring it on......... more light for fishing, camping and 4bying....... doesn't get any better !!!!

[threedogs]

Did anyone see AB on the other thread, an extra hour of sun LMFAO. gunna be one sore boy.
Whats the cure oh yes now I remember "stay out of the sun". sheesh
now just need to tell the cows, chickens, fish list goes on

[growler2058]

ah well you will send pooter off for repairs, lucky here, my youngest can pull apart and put em back together, just got a knack about them
how they work, what goes where, all I got is shitty $500 laptop, does what I want.

[Stropp]

if you want more dayight move to alska or the land of the midnight sun, imho daylight saving is crap nuff said.

[BearGUST]

Tough call...
Being woken at 5:30 with the sun belting through the curtains.
-or-
Sun coming up at a reasonable time, plus a couple of hours to do stuff after work.
I think I'll take option 2!

[jack]

Bring it on, can't wait.

Get a chance to actually do some things around the house after work and enjoy the weekends. Get a chance to head down the coast, swimming, diving, driving, living.....................

Cheers

[Winnie]

Mate you forgot to add "drinking" there?

[wildgu6]

Well some parts of OZ go back to being 3hrs behind the rest of us, this weekend!

Enough said.

That 3 hrs bhind is to give you guys a chance to catch up lol

[Steve4wdin]

Try putting kids to bed and its still day light? You would think the world was going to end. For that I hate it. For me personally like most you other guys, have that extra day light tme to play, BRING it on

[Monty_e]

I've lived in Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney Brisbane and Townsville and I have to say DLS is great ... down south! Not much fun in the evenings, mid summer in QLD tho.
Split time zones on the East Coast are crap for business.
I find it funny that Tasmania was able to convince Vic and NSW to extend DLSs ... a bit inconsiderate I reckon! ��

[Monty_e]

Kristoffa probably has the right idea - move everyone's clocks forward and keep them there all year around. ;)

[threedogs]

Then it would be just normal time ...sheeeesh am I the only one getting this.

Here I sit alone in a world of weirdos lol Quote from somewhere

[Monty_e]

True, but don't tell the Mexicans, they'll want an EXTRA hour!!

[MEGOMONSTER]

True, but don't tell the Mexicans, they'll want an EXTRA hour!!

What's wrong with having a25 hour day. LOL

I get it threedogs :)

[threedogs]

I am Mexican and proud of it, the home of the mighty VB. That is
available AUST wide, can you say that about your favourite state drop.
Here endeth the lesson lol

[taslucas]

if you want more dayight move to alska or the land of the midnight sun, imho daylight saving is crap nuff said.

In winter its dark here at 5:30pm.......... Im not asking for the midnight sun, just want to get home without having to put the head lights on!!

[Woof]

I'm with you Ross, we get enough sunshine over here all year round.............but it does give the sheep states time to catch up mate.

[threedogs]

Daylight way too early in QLD plus sometime black as at 4.30 whats that ?
then over west will it ever go dark, easy lets all move to Darwin?

[the ferret]

All you Eastern Staters will be laughing on the other side of your faces if you have solar power, it's gunna fry all your inverters and/or ya batteries due to sun overload..
Ya garden hoses will end up so brittle you will need a new one every couple of weeks, not to mention the curtains all fading and tyres perishing.'
Cheers, the ferret.

[taslucas]

hahaha yeah but in tassie "daylight" doesnt mean "sun" lmoa

[snewin]

I'll be sitting on a drill rig at daylight savings change over time. Which means I can finish an hour early. Sweet, bring it on!

Yeah, but that means you will have to be there 3 hours before the tide, lol
Cheers, the ferret.
PS, hope ya get snagged !!!

[Clunk]

Would love to have daylight saving but there's too many old folk like grunter and Stropp who go to bed at 7pm and get up at 4am to make sure the cows are laying and the chickens are milking and the paint isn't cracking.......... Hahahaha

Never had a problem getting kids to bed or sleep..... That's what blackout curtains or blinds are for lmao

Don't stroke it, TAP it!!!!.....

[taslucas]

Another down side i just realised is that the bathurst coverage starts at 4:00 am in WA tomorrow

[macca]

Its past 7.00pm, Ive fitted a fridge travel base in the pod for Dads Engel fridge to use as a feezer, had a beer, strengthened the floor for the extra fridge, sprayed for the black ants on the move in the back yard, cleaned the pond filter - crystal clear water to see the Goldies, had a beer, got the trailer on the work van and stocked ready for the morning, had a beer, put Patrol away as its been out side while a bit of work has been happening, had a look at the forum and done a post, put the chooks away and walked in to a lovely meal being cook by my lovely wife. Did I tell you I really enjoy daylight saving!!!

took long enough didn't ya,should have all that done easy without needing an extra hour

[TPC]

I love daylight savings, would hate to live in a state that doesn't have it.

[DX grunt]

I'm glad my curtains won't be fading this year. lol.

And for all you West Aussies.......suck it up!!! The majority of people spoke in the referendum.

No daylight savings, no daylight savings, no daylight savings! Yeah baby!!!!!

Totally agree DX,but I do remember thr premier saying he knew what the people wanted that's why we tried it for 3 yrs...My kids use to have to sit on a school bus for over an hour in the hottest part of the day...it got to the point when Ebb was only in grade 1 or 2 she hated it that much she didn't hop on the bus and told the teachers we where picking her up.....after a phone call to ask where we were....and a chat with her.....we realised how much she hated it..

[Clunk]

It's ridiculous living in a country where some states have it and other dont............. all states should either have it or none at all.

and to those West Aussies that said no....... YOUR ARGUMENTS AGAINST IT ARE INVALID

[growler2058]

Why does Australia have 3 time zones (4 if you include EDST) - why doesn't Australia have just the one?

C'mon Clunkie, answer that!! lol

Surely the problem there is not the time that the kids are on the bus, but that the school bus does not have air conditioning!!??

yeah clunk they should all come into our time slot..Most of our trading is done with Asian countries and there on the same time frame as us...
Zso would that mean that eastern staters wouldn't go to work till about 10 in the morning and knock off at about 7 at night...

[Alitis007]

Wooot woooot daylight savings!!! Atleast now when i knock off its still daylight!!

[AB]

Wooot woooot daylight savings!!! Atleast now when i knock off its still daylight!!

Really!?

Look up Greenwich mean time. It's the distance travelled that creates time zones

Draw that line south of Rockhampton. They can stay on kilo time and SE Qld can go to Lima time.

[Bob]

We should have it all year round

[Sherro]

Sorry guys but i'm not a big fan of it as i work enough hours now with out some clown wanting to push concrete around for an extra hour of an evening 12 hour days are enough.:mad:Bang Head

That's not fair to the rest of us unemployed, sitting around drinking beer. I like to visit the tattoo shop during daylight hours and play the pokies later in the evening. My couch in the front yard where I sit drinking gets a little more fade but it's worth it. The car bodies in the front yard also retain more heat and keep the surrounding area warmer at night. You blokes with jobs should stop complaining, it's your taxes supporting the brains trust like us coming up with the good ideas lol.

[taslucas]

..........How?

Don't tell me there's an extra hour of sunlight!

God I hope so lol, but unfortunately you can't tell when it comes comes to daylight savings lol

[NP99]

More milk from cows and more eggs from chooks.......

[taslucas]

More milk from cows and more eggs from chooks.......

And when you cook the eggs more come out sunny side up

[Bob]

And when you cook the eggs more come out sunny side up

You dont have to cook the Eggs for so long as they have had an extra Hour of Sunshine LOL
