...when I look at my New Zealand Time Zone clocks, indicating 12'Oclock Midnight in NZ, on my Firefox Browser, and I realise that none of you Chaps, down there, are going to be taking any notice whatsoever of me, for the next 8 hours...

...so I wont waste my time posting anything for the next 8 hours, 'cos you will all be asleep in bed...(or should be!)...!... laugh.gif ...!

This happened a long time ago, and may even be true:
A pilot - What time is it?
NZWN Tower - Unidentified aircraft requesting time check:
If you're Qantas, it is 0100 Zulu.
If you're Air New Zealand, it's one o'clock.
If you're North-South Airways it's lunchtime, and if you're Mt Cook Airways it's Thursday. tongue.gif

My times as are always based on the 12-hour clock...AM and PM....

This strange 24-hour clock malarkey never made any sense to me, even while I was in the British Army!

All my Forum times use the 12-hour clock...also the Time Zone clocks at the bottom of my Firefox Browser also use 12-hour clocks!...

I organise all my Multiplayer times using AM and PM.

It all makes much more sense to me...its either AM of PM!....Its what appears on all my house clocks...and my wrist watch!

Paul.....clocking out!..... cool.gif ....!

It's frustrating in this part of the world too. Often the most interesting forum topics happen at night (NZ time) while Europe and the USA are awake, and by the time I arrive the fun is all over laugh.gif

You have no idea how much outrageous fun we have been having; "up here", whilst you lot; "down there" have been fast asleep in bed, cuddling your Teddy Bears/NZ Lambs.... drool.gif ...!

We could tell your what we have been up to... tongue.gif ...!

...(....but then we would have to kill you!)... sad.gif ...!

Its a strange experience for we GMT Types, knowing that we can never catch up with you lot ...(+12 hours in front)...

...and we always leave our American Cousins far behind us...(-6 to -9 hours behind: Atlantic to Pacific)!

Very Confucius... blink.gif ....!

Paul....lost in a Time Warp... rolleyes.gif ....!

P.S......and Ian...

P-u-s-s-y Cats... unsure.gif ....

I feed my neighbours Cats on a diet of House Bricks, to deter them from killing my Garden Birds, whose visits I encourage... pirate.gif ...!
