I'm just still pissed off about the demise of daylight savings. But hey I could mow the lawn about 50 times and still make it to work.
^^
I've stopped kiting, started surfing and surf lifesaving. I love it!!![}:)]
Also long morning runs on the beach....![]()
I got to work by 7am today. I think that means I can leave at 3.30 this arvo... ![]()
If I get off seabreeze and do some work...
Im pissed too!!
I hope all those anti DLS ignoranuses are getting out of bed at 4.30am (its getting light at 4.35 right now) instead of 5.30am like they would have last year.
I'm finding I get out of bed earlier on the weekend than I do during the week for work.
That is WRONG.![]()
Is there any way to revert this retarded decision?! I can't see any benefit..
Yeah maybe for scavengers or people working in a bakery. Wow!
Even if they work in a bakery though Alfred, it's not really going to make much difference to them as they will be inside.
I'd say that the vote has stuffed it for at least the next 10 years ![]()

Im so sick of finishing work at 4PM, then having to go kiteing for 4 hours till its dark.

My Mom voted "No" to daylight savings much to my disgust.
Recently she moved from country WA to Perth.
Yesterday she said, "Now that I live in Perth I've realised that daylight savings would actually be pretty good".
Grrrr!!!
(She also voted "No" to extended shopping hours and has changed her mind on that one too).
The really sad thing lotofwind is that so many people here thought voting no was such a smart thing.
Of course it makes sense to have 2.5 hours daylight before you go to work, why would you want to enjoy it after work.
There aren't many western countries in the world that don't have daylight savings, so to claim that you've voted no 3 times on the issue really shows how forward thinking you are.![]()
Is there any law saying that the next vote can only be retried in 10 years or something?
I really don't understand why the majority voted against it.
Most people go to bed later than 21h and wake up later than 5h, so they will have more daylight.
Very few people start working at 5 or so..
Apparently, some prefer less daylight because of reduced skin cancer, especially people in rural areas voted against it.
But why should they care? Some farmer dude can make his own "business hours", opposed to people working in the city. And they tended to vote for it.
I heard that all the people in WA are backwards imbreeding ugly freeks that are scary to tourists, so the Aussie govenment where trying to keep y'all hidden in the dark for as long as they could, so as to keep tourism alive.
(might be a rumour...............I might have started)![]()
sorry.
yeah Id have the **s if they ever stopped DLS in NSW.
I think they could even make the change to 2 hours instead of one.
I get up early for my job and at 5.30 its bright sunshine and the steets are completely empty. Where are all the people who could only exersise in the mornings ? Meanwhile I just missed my second session in a row of great wind because of lack of daylight thanks for that.
I thought about moving to WA for about a minute once but then I thought about the whole DLS bizzo over the years and Wilson Tuckey and all the LArge L conservative neanderthal thinkers who hail from there and thought about being around those who support such freaks ..brrrrrr-eeeewwww.. Too scary
If it wasn't for the wind here I don't think I'd be here. Thankfully, after getting stuck into the boss for voting no, I told him I was working flexi-time this Summer.
Hate to rub it in![]()
........but plenty of people are kiting until 9pm here in Victoria
Thats 4 hours of after work awesomeness each night ![]()

Jono - you are so freaking spot on! Thats my biggest gripe - you can bet that only a tiny fraction of the NO voters are actually using their daylight, whereas an enormous proportion of the YES voters would've used theirs if it had've been voted in.
Could be worse - I lived in northern Japan for 12 months and they don;t have daylight savings. It was light by 3:30am in summer. At least I wasn't kiting then so it seemed only mildly retarded at the time.
uuuummm.... Perth?!
even without DLS we'll always spend more time on the water.
Wow, we even get a rest this week! ![]()
