Great........confusion reigns for the next 6 months in the bush and on the borders, just great.

your cows will be laying eggs , your chooks will be wanting milking in the middle of the night
and the curtains will fade

Glad we in the West voted it out for the 4th time. Cost us taxpayers millions of dollars for another government diversion on introducing something that has been put to death too many times. Hopefully the stupid thing has been finally laid to rest, we don't want it!

Ha Ha Ha you are right there Smee, that gave me a good chuckle.

I LOVE daylight savings, and yet so many loathe it.... Why exactly?

I love the fact that after a day at work there is more daylight to enjoy doing things outdoors, like going for a walk along the river, catching up on some gardening even sitting on the verandah, chatting and sipping a drink, watching the Rosellas and cockatoos playing in the trees, then later watching the sun slip behond the mountain, all the colours are spectacular.., you get to see your neighbours for the first time in months lol, it's such a nice time of day.

No more shivvering as it hits 5pm, too chilly, then...scuttling inside because dark to do a thing.

I say bring it ON lol

Luckily my iPhone senses instinctively that Daylight Savings has started, and I don't need to do a thing with changing the time...

The only problem I have with daylight saving is, my chooks fade & my curtains stop laying eggs.

My dear Ubb ... how can I say this...?


Take your own advice, my dear friend.

Feed your chooks Pluto Pups and soak your curtains in Pepsi Max ... I'm sure you know better than I how that will improve your situation!

yeah well in New Zealand , the Kiwis start laying their sheep and their chickens fade 

[callostemma]

Must say I haven't noticed D/S this year as I have been on N/D
The residents are demanding their tights to stay in bed and the morning staff are still cranky     Nothings changed

[*smee*]

The residents are demanding their tights ????


if you have any spare , can I please have some , my leotards are getting a bit tattered and
my lycra pants burst the seams during the excitement of the tour deFrance

You shouldn't be "sympathy cycling", Smee. Let the professional cyclists do the hard graft.

*hurriedly tosses a kilt towards Smee* There. Better than lycra any day.
