I know this happens every year but, i am not happy about it because it has funked up serveral things.

1. Games servers get very confused when the clock skips an hour and crash.
2. Night clubs close an hour eailer.
3. I get an hours less sleep.
4. I am robbed of an hour, were i could have been doing my dissertation.
5. Cheeky computers change the time on their own without telling you, then you add an hour to that and you lose more time. :(

I am sure there are plenty of others that you all can think of.

What would you have been doing if an hour had not been stolen from you?

They should work out a system that i am happy with and not just impose this crazy system on me.

I woke up an hour early. That does not please me. Not sure when I went to bed but that is besides the point.

I believe the day is actually 23.94 hours long, hence the reason why we have leap years.

No they don't, they stay open until 2am then chuck you out because they've gone over the 20 mins last drinks rule by 40 mins, all in a fraction of a second.

It's worse in Spring. They stay open an extra hour, or until 3am.
