Yeah, something like that at midsummer. If we go the opposite direction and stick at +1 rather than GMT/Zulu time it would still be dark at some time after 9am. Most people I know find it difficult to wake up when it's dark outside, so that would mean lots of still half asleep people trying to...

Thank you so much for all the mansplaining dudes. I was responding to a post from a particular poster who said he would be happy to see Daylight Savings time scrapped because it would be interesting to see daybreak at 9:30 or something like that - which isn't how that would work. Not...

Daylight savings is the hour forward in March, not the hour back (that's just us returning to normal time). So during the summer it would be bright an hour earlier in the morning and dark an hour earlier in the evening if we scrap Daylight savings. Lots of people think it has something to do...

I have to actually go into the office today, for the first time in nearly a month, and I won't have to for another month, and it is going to rain all day. Had to break out my Winter Parka. And to those people who want us to stick at Summer Time if we are no longer changing the clocks... do...

Sorry to hear that seanc. Not easy to have the burden of soicism to deal with too.

You think you were passive agressive, but actually, that is a perfectly reasonable request, and if he didn't feel up to doing it after the call about his grandfather then he could have asked for help, or said, "Hey, I think I might not have been fully concentrating when I was doing the float...

No you're not. Unless you called him names while telling him he made a mistake :)

We can't reach it, that bottom tap is about a half a meter off the ground, while the access hatch is about 2 meters up the wall. Seriously a special place reserved in hell for the designers of this place. Himself is currently dismantling the shelving to see if we can make a big enough hole to...

Thank you. The tap has a single outlet, and there is a plastic mixing chamber thing inside it, which is what has broken, so it's hot and cold bubbling up through. The build quality on this place is good, but the quality of the fit out is piss poor, the tap was never installed properly (what...

This is the mess behind the shelving in the wc, I think the very bottom tap might turn off the mains

It's coming from the kitchen tap itself, the mixer unit seems to be broken and the water is flowing out of the tap unit, rather than out the spout

It's a mixer tap, so both.

There doesn't appear to be any way to shut the water off to that tap without turning off the water to the full apartment - and we can't reach that valve without dismantling the shelving in the wc. If I could find the architectural genius who designed this dump I would probaby drown him in the...

Going on first holiday in 3 years tomorrow. Tap in kitchen decides to start leaking all over the kitchen. Anyone know a very cheap but very good 24 hour plumber?

See that would drive me mad. I have an ipod touch which I use for music, solitare, ebooks and wi fi internet if I really need it, and even then it pisses me off. I would never trust it with contact information, or mobile internet. Seriously considering just getting a Nokia 130 for €20 and...

Thanks, that cheers me up so much. It just seems that new phones are mostly crappy. Long battery life = 3-4 days on standby and maybe 1-2 if you make any calls or actually use the thing. Even with a nearly 6 year old battery I'm used to over a week of moderate use between charges and about a...

My Sony Ericsson c902 gave up the ghost on Saturday and I'm devastated. It was a lovely phone, with a very decent camera and I miss it. I knew it couldn't last forever, but I hoped it would last long enough to get past this 'too big to be a phone (unless you've shovels for hands) too small to...

What box are you using? On the Horizon box there are settings for adjusting the before and after record times, should be something similar on the older ones too. It's well worth adding 5 minutes either side to avoid that shit.

Sorry to hear that Jonah :( Bill her for a half day's pay. It's what she'd do to you if the tables were turned.

It's not just attacking sheep that can be the problem. Dogs can cause cattle to stampede and break through field boundaries. Calves and cows can be seriously injured, or even killed, in the chaos. It can also mean that they get out onto the road where both they and motorists are then at risk...
