Excited in Ceredigion

SNIP

Uh, your extra hour in bed won't be tomorrow as the clocks go back 0100hrs Sunday.

See what such excitement can do to a man! It can't be good for the health.

I know what you mean, my last of the line Disco Series II arrives Monday and I'm counting the hours already!

My head hurts now, u do get an extra hour in bed don't you? If the clock goes back at 1am (ie back to 0000), don't u have that hour all over again then and there have an 'extra' hour. I hope i can work this out in my head otherwise i'm going to be either early or late for trialling tomorrow, er , i think! Damn

Yes, you get an extra hour in bed - you lazy bugger

nah, it goes back IIRC at 02:00 (to 01:00)

one of the local (FSVO local) night clubs used to get an extension to 02:00 for tonight, then put the clocks back and stay open an extra hour. dunno if they still do...

trouble is, you know it's gonna happen, so you just end up going to bed an hour later than normal...

Is relative. I see it as getting an extra hour drinking tonight...

If only someone could explain the concept to my dogs, and ask them not to need a pee until 8am...

and judging by her absence I reckon Mandy must have been very early at the car boot sale this morning... She'll be home in a fine mood then!

This clock changing lark is hard work, and confusing.

I got in the extra hour of drinking, but seemed to wake up far too early thismorning. In theory i should have gained an extra hour of life, but i feel like ive lost a couple!

So Alex was, like

Spring forward, fall back.

Got mine. Lovely she is. Got some nice features but I am losing a few useful ones like seat, steering and mirror memory combined with auto dipping/folding mirrors. A few useless features that will not be missed are the rain sensitive wipers, auto dusk sensors for headlamps and the xenon lights. These are more than made up for by the servotronic steering, heated seats, beautiful and roomy interior and the absence of the stupid fuel consumption gauge which was a serious distraction.

Once it is run-in, the performance chip will be fitted off my last car and economy and performance should be more than adequate.

One wish is that the centre rear head restraint should be removable. It does house the rear cup holders though, which are a bit clumsy compared to the very clever front ones.

My daughter has already mentioned a lack of handy stowage space for nick-nacks like lip gloss, phones and whatever else teenage girls just must have at hand in the front seat.

whereabouts were you again? will have to try and get a look at it one day, if we can manage to be in the same place at the same time.

Odd, that's how I always remember which way around it is too.

Aberaeron area. Often in Lampeter. Flash if you see a silver Land Cruiser Amazon or a shiny new silver RR :-)
