    It's not natural, is it? In fact, it's an abomination. If God had meant us to have more daylight he would have given it to us in the beginning. It's this sort of perversion of God's master plan that is leading to the breakdown of society as we know it...

    But he did intend for us to have more !! ... If he didn't then the sun would have a switch on it ... wouldn't it ?? . ..... Reaches for the bleach and strides purposely towards the bathroom ....

    Yeah, an overwhelming abundance of gew-gaws, gadgetry and contrivances; trappings of rampant consumerism ...
    The timer on the towel rail's important though, as having the heated towel rail on all the time fooks the towels, so the one in our en suite ("ooooh, lah-de-dah") has a timer so it operates for only a few hours a day.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I guess you don't have 8 oclock lectures. I now have to get up at 6 oclock not 7 and it still quite at the time of the morning. I think it should be moved to a later date when it is warmer and lighter at such hours.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    No mate, I did last year though - Economics. I think Humanities prefer more civilised hours for lectures.

    I loathe Daylight Saving with a passion. It is a ridiculous contrivance, born of a half-assed idea that Dairy farmers might like more daylight in the evening. They don't and they don't like it either.

    I messes up my body clock (it's all about me), and makes me grumpy until I get my extra hour of sleep at the other end of the process. I have two kids who are massively grumpy because of the change in routine. Whihc makes me more grumpy. I then get told to stop being so grumpy, whihc makes me grumpy, which makes my wife grumpy too.

    Summer sucks.

    Well judging by all the typos you must be a very grumpy old grump at the moment.
