Its Snowing

Its easter and its snowing in the UK ...... .. ..

Snow is hammering down here too - not sticking yet tho'

It's been a couple years since we've had snow here, tho it did cover Galveston pretty good in '04:

Now that's something you don't see everyday

Nice shots there Allen

ha ha Allen Does what we do with the images lol



Is this a modern Planet of the apes lol

Wicked pics

Oh yeah!
Great 'Iconic' ending to that movie.

And using the most tenuous connection from that movie...

Has anyone seen the movie 'I am Legend' and if so have you also read the book? I can't imagine that the movie could ever end the same way as the book and therefore - how could it be called 'I am Legend'?

I haven't seen the movie yet so if anyone does answer - please don't give away too much

Not to give the movie away i heard it was crap

Well, with Will Smith in it....

I mean, he's a funny guy and all - but Robert Neville from the book had blonde hair, blue eyes, smoked and drank heavily......

I don't suppose that matters too much.

The book...
ok - I guess.
An average book, quite good when you consider how long ago it was written.
But in the last page... suddenly it becomes a 'great' book.

It also explains the title - and this, I can't see happening in a Hollywood movie.

Don't think I'll buy the DVD after your review mate
I'll wait for it to come on 'Sky'....

My review was from a woman lol

She said it was all over in the first 5mins??

I wonder where she's heard that before?

She's obviously been talking to my wife

pmsl lol

There all liers lol

Oh man!

In my first job, I worked as a junior research technician.

There was another guy with the same job as me. (He was gay - coming out.)

We were the only two guys there - with nearly 40 secretaries, who typed up the various experiments and arranged meetings etc. (They were all really nice to 'Chris')

As a raw 18 year old in a first job - the only guy! - what a welcome to the "world."

Those women were vicious!!!!!

Tell me about it...

I was innocent and 16 started in the factories.
My eyes were opened, and they kept making me blush
for the first 2 years....

6 Blokes 300 woman
Calm down, not all young pretty ones lol

And i thought blokes could talk dirty lol

Yeah - that's the point.

Doesn't matter 'pretty' or not - they can crush you with one hand if they want - especially at that age

What's the ideal weight for a mother-in-law?

I parked in a disabled space today and a traffic warden shouted to me...

"Oi, what's your disability?"

Both excellent - but the Mother in Law joke was pricless
Will be copying onto my own forums asap!!!

Thank you, these are actually my brother-in-law's photos, I didn't get to go over to Galveston that week.

Never seen this Mr Man Before and thought it was quite funny

Drawing started 11 sept 1988....

I'm posting in an Epic threads of Epicness.

Or eopiciosity? or epicitude? (or even epictitude?) or epicnamous?

Ah heck - that's enough for a late night post

Mark ?????

Dam ive just lost an Hour ??

UK Clocks going forward in about 5mins.

British Summer Time arrives with rain lol

What's the weather normally like there in April? I think that's the month we'll be visiting next year

actually you posted at 01:55 which didn't exist.

BST started at 01:00 with clocks jumping to 02:00 at that time.

Just wondering what my time is here now - or do we have to manually alter our time zone

hmmm... seeing blank posts in this thread, which then later appear - weird (

Anyone else seeing blank posts?

Not Now lol

I didn't as after i posted my little eyes needed there rest.

(I went to sleep).

Just have to Laugh

Yeh, I'm really hoping we get support for DST offsets... Its a pain to have to go in and manually edit things... And if you do it in the CP you then have to worry about people in areas which don't respect DST (several of them in the USA) and other countries which do use DST only they use it with differant starting and ending dates...

Just some info for the search engine LOL

Most of Europe will embark on daylight saving time, also known as “Summer Time”, on March 30, 2008. Most European countries will push time forward by one hour for daylight saving time in their fixed time zones on this date. For Western Europe, including United Kingdom, clocks are moved from 1am to 2am. In Central Europe, including Germany, France, Spain and Italy, clocks are moved from 2am to 3am. Eastern Europe's clocks move from 3am to 4am. Daylight saving time applies to all European Union (EU) countries, including Denmark’s self-governing province of Greenland, as well as parts of Russia, including Moscow and St Petersburg.

Iceland, however, does not observe daylight saving time. Iceland’s time is easy to calculate because it is identical to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), therefore there is no offset. Daylight saving time is also referred to as “Summer Time” in some European countries.

Interesting Facts
Russia and Belarus observe daylight saving time and make the change forward and back on the same dates as the European Union, respectively, on the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October. However, the changeover on both dates occurs in Russia not at 1am UTC as in the rest of Europe, but at 2am local time in each time zone. Russia's clocks are two hours ahead of local mean solar time (or the time according to the sun) in the summer and one hour ahead of standard time in the winter. In 2007, local politicians in the Kemerovo Region called for the government to abolish the daylight time saving regime in Russia, due to health reasons. However, the nation still maintains its daylight saving schedule.

According to the French Tourist Office, French time moves from UTC+1 to UTC+2 during the summer period, following the EU’s daylight saving schedule. However, parts of France and Spain skew time zones and shift clocks, in effect observing daylight saving time in winter with an extra hour in summer.

In Norway, daylight saving time has been introduced, discontinued and reintroduced quite a few times during the 20th century. When daylight saving was reintroduced in Norway during the late 1950s and early 1960s, controversy erupted. In 1965, the Norwegian parliament discontinued the daylight saving arrangement. However, it was re-introduced in 1980 and Norway follows the EU’s daylight saving schedule.

On another note, prior to daylight saving time being re-introduced in Sweden on April 6, 1980, a major Swedish newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, published an April Fool's joke on April 1 that year. According to the joke, daylight saving time was already introduced almost in secret with nearly no public information, causing chaos with timing and transportation. In reality, this did not happen.

I am transferring the registrars on 5 domains today, including ubbdev.com - maybe some downtime while DNS re-propagates.

In this day and age, it's not too common ... Who're you transferring to?

I transferred all of my domains from GoDaddy, Dotster, and several others into my eNom registry account a couple of years ago.
