    Clocks go back tonight

    Just a reminder that the clocks go back tonight (well, tomorrow morning technically).

    Extra hour in bed.

    Nope, an extra hour. At 2am the clocks move back to 1am, giving you 1-2am again.

    Or for gamers, an extra hour gaming before hitting the sack!

    Forget an extra hour in bed - an extra hour to party and drink!

    Don't get paid extra hour if working a nightshift, but get an hour less when they go forward.

    only get an extra hour if you dont have a 2 year old..

    how does that work, surely they should just base it on the actual number of hours you have worked (i.e. if measured by a stopwatch)?

    Any other way of measuring it just seems barmy.

    Hayden fell asleep last night at around 12.

    I stayed up watching constantine till about 1 and then went to bed and was woken at around 6.20 by her licking my face giggling and demanding that I get out of bed and go down and play.
