Would anyone believe muggins here forgot to set his alarm clock back an hour and ended up getting up for work an hour early?

The hour that makes all the difference
Yes people it's that time of the year again...... we get to play with our clocks 
No more Daylight Saving Time but back to normal time and as a bonus we a 25 hour day (spring forward, fall (okay really autumn) back).
As you might have guessed I'm hoping to spend that extra hour snoozing. But do keep in mind that you cannot use it as an excuse to be late at work this time as if you wouldn't have played with the clock you would have been an hour early, so be warned

To be completely honest I haven't actually changed the vcr and my alarm clock yet. Phone has been changed and my GF's alarm clock has been changed so I really just can't be bothered.
Just curious..... I have a really old phone but do new phones actually automagically adept to day light savings etc? Still find it a bit weird seeing as the mobile network knows the time why my phone can't update itself automatically..... just too much hassle

my fone runs on windows mobile 5.0 (pretty much the latest version unless youve got a fone that hasnt been released yet!!), so i would have expected it to automagically change the time itself.
but no...

All our Windows based phones changed their times automatically. Yours must be broke.

my phone changed itself, but then again i did tell it to change itself in the settings when i bought the thing

Posted: 15:09 Nov 06 2006 May I remind a certain smartarse that I was many, many miles away from said alarm clock at the time? I set my mobile in time, but I had that with me, so there!
