Sorry Ozzy, that's not until April 6th.
Hey I just realized I'm a resident. I guess this means that I have joined the ranks of flight simmers with too much time on their hands.

I only pretend to know what I'm talking about. Heck, that's what lawyers, car mechanics, and IT professionals do everyday. Wink

My computer reminded me to do it last night (ie. when logged on at 0130. It had actually already done it in the P.C. for me.

I obviously have an Australian version of Windows Me, for it to know the correct date for it. At least I believe it varies from country to country.
Ozzy, is it the right day for Hungary, or are you using your knowledge of the countries in which you have lived? Grin

I know that all of Europe has gone forward one today, and I believe most other countries have too. Didn't realise on the other side of the Pond they were doing it differently this year, every now and again this happens. And Brensec has confirmed that Australia has done it.

Hmm odd.

I had to work a late/early over the weekend which means I finished last night at 21.30 and had to get up at 05.00 for the next shift which was of course 04.00...........

The REALLY annoying thing is that I worked the night shift when the clocks went back last year so worked the extra hour whilst every other bugger got more sleep.

Oh well........................................................

Who switched the lights off? I can't see a thing....... Hold on, my eyes were closed. Oops, my bad...............&&

My kitchen clock is now correct for the first time in months. Hooray for good old BST...........!
Also the clock in my car which only displays while the ignition is on so I always forget to do it. Grin

I find the older I get the more the time change affects me. It takes my befuddled brain a while to get used to, much the same as jetlag. Roll Eyes
