It's all a large conspiracy by the Government to control everything we do!!  Who says it's 9 o'clock?  The Government does (they set your "time zone").  If it was really set by the sun, then at midday the sun would be at it's apex (or highest point above you).  I can guarantee that for the majority of people, it is not (unless you live on one of the prime meridians, eg. 0, 10, 20, 30 etc degrees East or West).  And then it would have to fall in the time zone you are in. Who cares, really?

Personally I like Daylight Savings.  It enables me to enjoy my time outside with my family after work, when the weather is nicer.  Much nicer in Tasmania too, when the summer days are much longer (due to Tassie being further South). 

My rant over (I am just annoyed at being back in Melbourne after two weeks in Thailand)  :)

Damn! I just remembered the time in our 5 cordless phones, the two garden clocks and the floor heating timers in our bathrooms  :whistler: I think I've gone off daylight savings... :rolleyes:







and I really like this one... (A bit of swearing though NSFW)

Hey rusty, i30's up here a used to all that extra sun as it bakes the paint and makes it tougher.  :deserted:

But my i30 is pampered and kept out of the sun most times.
