        I agree completely with the former but the latter smacks of American imperialism, and is therefore unacceptable.

        As opposed to British imperialism (GMT), with which I have no problem.

        OK, thats a joke, but really I do think that claiming EST as a world standard is more than faintly ridiculous. For anyone who isn't american anyway. So I hope you were joking too...?

            I believe I've pushed my foot as far into my mouth as it will go at this time. Perhaps I ought to quit while I'm behind.

              I still believe I'm being ripped off if I don't get that patch today.

                  Yep. It's still Thursday in the US. Won't be Friday here for another 10+ hours.

                    Well ours has already risen. It is Friday, who cares about GMT or EST and whatnot.

                      In Sweden we won´t have anything to do with the capitalist pig dog time of US EST

                      Thursday 14th 19.56 (that´s 7.53 PM for you 12 hour timers...)
                      3 degrees C and slight wind from the west...

                        We're so far off-topic it's unbelievable, and this is sinking to new levels of pedantry even for me, but Kamrat, my brave communist friend, I do believe that 19.56 is actually 7.56pm, not 7.53pm.

                        Sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry.

                            a: a +13 timezone is just plain messed up. it's *more* than halfway around the world from greenwich? i understand the reasoning, but... ugh.

                            b: EST4EVAR! we've got dc and new york. no other timezone can possibly compete
                            it's just my opinion. can you dig it?
