Starts on Sunday woo

Very glad we don't have it

Losing an hour on one weekend a year sucks big time but getting an extra hour of daylight in the evening is the best.

The positives on DLS far outweigh the negatives.

Why? I personally think it should be an all-year thing.

I hated my old job when we started 7am on Sunday and you'd end up rostered on the Daylight Saving Sunday so you'd lose an hour's sleep, but then would not be rostered on for the corresponding end of Daylight Saving morning 6 months later....


Alternatively, I liked the years when the opposite happened


Overall, Daylight Saving is awesome

I just wish somebody would think of the Cows.

 

[BALKAN]

Unnecessary cockery

 

[Milang_Panthers]

Wish we had it here

Love having that extra hour of sunlight, makes a huge difference!

 

[JuddsABlue]

Cant wait, love it.

 

[BotsMaster]

Hate it. I want that hour of sleep.

That hour or 2 after tea when you went back out and played more cricket with your mates as a kid

On topic:Is there anyway we can change nature to make Summer less hot? I can handle low 30's. 31, 32, 33 at a stretch. But once you start hitting consistent 36, 37 and 40+ then I think you're just having a giggle there m8. Suggestions?

Yeeehah!

More time in the beer garden

That takes me back. Good times.

 

[PP34]

Great. My sleeping pattern's already ****ed enough......

This just brings a smile to my face.

As a kid me and my brother played this test match game all through the arvo. Basically counting each others runs with an endless amount of innings. Every dinner was always "lunch break" and after that we played until "bad light". We could never do it in winter.

**** I've missed you daylight savings, northern states (and WA) your missing out

We had it for 3 years.
Not as mind blowingly fantastic as people are making out. Summer days are plenty long as is.

Love it, gives me time to fit in a round of golf after work.

I feel the same way Balkan. I can't stand really hot weather. 25 to 30 is good.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Yeah, I'm with you guys. I find summer here just right. Around 30 degrees and sunlight from 5am to after 9pm.

 

[MisterMarcus]

When you have a toddler who wakes up at first light, it's REALLY good when sunrise gets pushed back an hour........

No more being woken up at 5 in the morning for a few months.......

out of curiosity do you have a 9-5 type job? being an office worker, having some daylight when you get home is amazing, the winter months can be pretty much dark when you leave the house, dark when you leave the office. Love daylight saving.

Always funny to read opinions of the residents of the commie state.
