Hola!
I hate the clocks changing at this time of year, it feels like someone's snatched an hour of walking from me.

so is the time on the messageboard correct now?

Morning. Yes it is correct.

Morning!
how're you sweetie?
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:23, Reply)

Absolutely splendid thank you. How about you?

(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:24, Reply)

I'm smashing.
Got my travel card today, got my script filled, had a practise pack (13 kgs when the limit is 20, GET IN!), did two practise papers, and watched an episode of Buffy.
What's on for today?

Sounds like you've been more productive in a day than I sometimes am in a week.
Today I am looking for someone inexpensive to help me with search engine optimisation for a couple of websites, arranging a meeting in Holland, spending some time talking to clients and prospective clients on the phone and of course buggering around on here.

A meeting in Holland? Blimey.
you make it sound so casual..

It is only a 40 minute flight so not a big deal really - it takes longer from London to fly to Scotland.

(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:35, Reply)

are you serious??
Why would it take longer to fly fro london to scotland?
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:55, Reply)

Because Scotland is further away on a direct route.

(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:59, Reply)

Because we like to keep the English out for as long as possible

fair enough then.
we do the same with Kiwis...
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 9:21, Reply)

What about those of us who are part English and part Scottish?

Hey Poppet, check out the profile picture of one of my friends on Facebook
he's called Craig S, his Halloween costume was proper awesome.

ARGH! fuck he did one of the vamps from Buffy look!
LOVE IT!
*fangirls*
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:52, Reply)

he did, I was well impressed
When he came in I was all "Hi Craig...ARGH!"

(plus he's well fit)
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:56, Reply)

He looks a bit fit from the photo.
but the face definitely puts me off! :P
(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:58, Reply)

yeah it was a bit scary to be sexy.

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 9:08, Reply)

How did he do it, and did it look good?
I'm considering that sort of idea for next year
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:59, Reply)

it was from a website, it was just a latex mask
I'll see if I can find the site.

It looked really good, you'll be able to see it on my facebook as well AA, search for Craig S
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 9:08, Reply)

Ooh, 7kg of spare luggage allowance. Would you mind bringing some printer cartridges over for me?

(Cave Duck, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:59, Reply)

yeah sure, I'll just put them next to my bag of heroin.

(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 9:00, Reply)

Oh you're bringing something for Monty too? How very kind you are.

(Cave Duck, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 9:04, Reply)

just my way of giving back.

(Poppet some assembly required., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 9:06, Reply)

Yup, it changed a bit late on Sunday.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:21, Reply)

I hate both changes
Both are an awful jump for my system. This one feels like night has come too quickly and the day is gone too soon. The other feels like suddenly I have to get up in the middle of the night. Why won't they just let it be as it is? We're going to get exactly the same hours of light in anycase.

I know, it does my head in that the collective governments of the UK are so resistant to changing it.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:22, Reply)

There was someone on Radio 4 yesterday suggesting that Scotland should be one hour different to the rest of Britain.
I do not understand this.
(lkjshaglkasjdhglkhjz lkcvl; g;aodh;owih, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:26, Reply)

Me neither
They're going to have the same light hours, regardless of the time on the clock.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:27, Reply)

I just don't see the point
I don't think anyone sees the point anymore. How does it save any money to the country the fact that now there's light at 6 and before was at 7am if now it's dark at 5 and before was at 6pm? Is there really a lot more of people awake between 6 to 7am than between 5 to 6pm?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:27, Reply)

Isn't it just so it's not dark at 2pm in winter?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:49, Reply)

It never gets dark at 2pm
But the change in winter makes the mornings lighter and the nights darker, so if it was going to be dark at 2pm, it'd happen quicker after the time change.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:51, Reply)

wasn't it something to do with farmers originally and they just haven't changed it?

( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 2 Nov 2010, 8:58, Reply)

Yes, because farmers need to start very early in the morning
I don't know why, though. I don't understand why during winter they can't start at 6am instead of at 5am; because, anyway, in 2 weeks it'll be dark until 7am.
