When do you adjust your clocks / watches?

  • Before I go to bed on the Saturday night
  • After I wake up on the Sunday morning
  • “live” (i.e. at 2am on the Sunday morning)
  • I have no devices that need manual adjustment (wahey)

Whatever way I do it I need to change, because last time I got it very wrong, effectively robbed myself of two hours of sleep, then went to a Netrunner tournament and did the worst I’ve ever done due to being unable to think through the sleep fug.

Might try and store up the hours back by ignoring the clocks going back for 24 years then giving myself a whole day as a present.

I always make sure that there is one clock on my bedside which needs to be manually adjusted. I have been caught out in the past by not knowing if my clocks have auto-updated during the night and leapt out of bed because I was ‘late’, only to find when I turned on the TV (phnaarr) that it was an hour earlier

My nan & grandad used to have their wedding anniversary on the 1st April, and it was my nan’s birthday on that day too.

Every single year that there was a family get together at the end of March, my uncle would turn up to the restaurant an hour late.

And no one thought to tell him that the table was booked for an hour earlier than it actually was…? smh

Ahhh… the patented @aboynamedgoo ‘arranging a 5-a-side start time’ tactic.

Nobody needs to manually adjust clocks any more, everybody just looks at their phone which has automatically updated. I will not accept any arguments to the contrary.

I have had phones in the past which didn’t adjust and, as a consequence, I am deeply distrustful of them. Give me a Nokia 5310 any day of the year (esp. the last Sunday’s of March and October)

Was caught out and late for football on Sunday one time as my phone automatically did it and I also changed the time before bed!

Fuck off, Granddad
