Please rephrase...

You got me in the moment confused with BST and GMT. SO in other words, what is the time you could be here in normal MET?

**Locutus** · October 24, 2003, 05:30

I assume you mean CET? In that case, 22:30 on Saturday, 19:30 on Sunday.

So GMT I think that should actually be 18:30 for Sunday, not 17:30 as I said in my previous post, on account of change to wintertime and all.

Don't you just love these time-zones?

**Gilgamensch** · October 24, 2003, 05:49

Yep, I really love them.............
Also CET=MET, but don't ask me if there is a difference........

MET Middle European Time...........
CET Central European time..........

As nobody really told, I am not sure if Saturday or Sunday..........

But don't be afraid, we won't play to long.............

Including some states in the US,

well maybe just one... Arizona is the only state that I can think of that doesn't have DLS time.

Come on Gilg, DLS isn't that big of a deal...

Arizona's state government just decided that they didn't want to mess around with the clocks twice a year.

Well, it's good to know the US is in line with Europe for once... but of course you'll see that some other dimwit nation (like the UK or France)...

I agree with you about UK, but we are also changing from Summer time to Winter time this week...

**Immortal Wombat** · October 24, 2003, 20:03

So are we. Hah.

I know...

I was just furthering the traditional antagonism between France and England... some traditions have to be respected.

Ok so the actual time for the chat (if there is one) is 21:30 GMT?

There's always some nation that just HAS to be different from everybody else...

But i thought we invented time? so surely ours is the correct time and eveyone else just messes around with all this EST/DLS strangeness?

It looks like i'll be able to take part in any turnchat tonight

...........if you'll still have me

**Immortal Wombat** · October 25, 2003, 15:36

Dammit people, just drop whatever you're doing, and join the chat from local noon Saturday to local noon Monday.

edit/ we still in #lemuria?

Wait a minute -- so the whole world's gonna change to wintertime at the same time? Everyone actually agreed on a single date? Wow, that's gotta be a first...

This is surely a sign of the apocalypse...

**J Bytheway** · October 26, 2003, 07:21

Despite reading this thread, I totally forgot about the changing clocks and left an hour early for lunch this morning. It took me ages to work out why the canteen wasn't open yet.

Wait a minute -- so the whole world's gonna change to wintertime at the same time? Everyone actually agreed on a single date? Wow, that's gotta be a first...

I assure you that the southern hemisphere is not changing to wintertime at the moment (Although I'm not even sure if anywhere there does change their clocks - I know South Africa doesn't) - so the whole world might be a slight exaggeration.
