I luv it. cloud9:
Now, what I can't get me 'ed 'round, is why do we have to endure these long dark miserable nights for just SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSO long ey?
Wouldn't a bit of extra physical brightness during the evenings possibly brighten our spirits up....just a tiny eeeny lickle bit p'raps? Shrugs:
Many have stated their hatred for this clocks going back malarky, but nowt ever seems to change...apart from the clocks that is. Banghead
Cameron said he wasn't happy about it a couple of years ago, and actually stated he was going to look into it with a view to changing the system.
Like so much of the false promiises and utter shite he spouts, nothing happened iirc.
Every piggin' October, darkness decends like a great cloud of gloom and doom, EVERY year, and there we remain until the end of March. Nearly 6 lousey months. cussing:
I'm fedup with it, and so are many many others, SO, I want to start a petition to get this seemingly well supported time problem solving discussed in the house of commons, for some serious debating with hopeful change of policy to follow.
Crazy I know, but sheeples do do such things, so why not? Shrugs:
Nowt to lose I suppose.
My suggestion would be to IF they REALLY need to do this to keep the jocks happy, then why not lets have a compromise?
Turn the clocks back in late November, and bring them back to BST at the end of Januray say?
Better still, just leave them alone completely. :thumbsup:
What you think, or am I on a hiding to absolutely nothing?
Am I nuts? whistle:
I think not. Many want change, but not many are prepared to get off their fat arses to get the ball rolling IF possible. Banghead
How do I go about getting my proposal onto this website thingy to try and obtain the 100,000 signatures 9iirc) to get it at least discussed?

You go to the offiial web site and they give you all the help you need http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/ (http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/)
But after only 388 votes supported this one do you really think it's worth the bother?
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20629 (http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/20629)
Petition to stop British Summer Time being replaced by Greenwhich Mean Time. I want the government to scrap Greenwhich Mean Time and have British Summer Time all year round
388? That means something like 67,999, 612 either coudn't give tuppence or prefer it like it is

"Winter Time" is actually Greenwich Mean Time .... a long established and universally recognised time.
British Summer Time is the false Daylight Saving Time, introduced to enable farmers and factory workers to put in more hours of labour.
Leave things alone I say.
I would be happy to maintain GMT all year round.

You know when you feel as though EVERYTHING in your life, and EVERYONE is out to get you and cause mayhem everywhere you go'cus of the overwhelming amounts of shit that are flying past your ears constantly....well this is one of those times.
Don't think I can ever remember feeling quite this down tbqh.
Things can only get better is what I keep telling myself.
Just wish they'd hurry up.

They will get better Growler but as ever I expect far too slowly for peace of mind. Meantime all the best to you in dealing with it all.

It won't do much Growler, but a big blokey slap on the back from me. Life certainly has it ups and downs, just apears to be more downs than ups most of the time happy100

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
It has indeed been possibly one of the most trying shocking and distressing few days of all time for me tbqh. eeek: eeek: eeek:
I'm still sort of in a state of shock, as is his mother. eeek:
We are both blaming ourselves (which is wrong to a certain degree, I know, but you just can't help it) and asking where exactly did we go so badly wrong. confused:
I know the dog has mentioned many tiimes that you have to let your kids get on with life, but when you see one of them commiting such dreadful acts of self destruction, it's very hard to know wheather to leave them to it or try and help.
All not helped now by me and Mrs G#1 having a gagging order placed upon us by the very person that alerted us to some/all the dreadful and almost unbelievable problems, some just too far unsavoury to discuss in here I'm afraid.
This has only made matters worse for us both now, as the planned 'discussions' with him today have now been postponed until she finally leaves him...IF that actually happens, which if she was my daughter, it would most definately.
I just sincerely hope he doesn't contact me in the meantime, as i REALLY REALLY will not be able to hold a reasonable conversation with him.
He doesn't know what i know btw.

What to say? You clearly care so much which is the right place to be but will also make it seem so much worse to you
Hope it all looks better tomorrow morning

38, and acting like a 14 year old in some respects.
He used to be so good reliable hard working and smart too, which makes it all the harder to bare.
He looks like a shambles now, according to MM who opened the door for him when he came to collect £60 that i owed him for a job he did whilst I was away 2 weeks ago.
She hardly recognised him and was shocked and concerned, so much so that she text me whilst I was in/near London on Friday cry:

His girfriend is not helping the situation at all, but I don't want to fall out with her. She does know my feelings though, so hope she'll see sense soon, and let us 'at him'.
