Just a quick reminder that, as is customary, all clocks will be going back a further hour tonight, including yours.


So just remember to wind those clocks back and get yourselves on track to be in sync with everyone!

One hour back so far, and another one tonight *thumbs up*

Ahhhh yep yep. Because it's a leap year? Yep, all over it hoss.

Does this also apply to clocks that have stopped? I have one clock that hasn't been ticking since 2015, and another that stopped on August 17th this year.

My oven has a clock. Will it make my pies faster or slower? Need response asap

This is scheduled to be a 'long hour', remember, so while you're resetting the hands, don't forget to  slow down the mechanisms of your clocks in order to ensure accuracy for the duration of the requisite period.

I do this manually by just putting my finger on the hands of the clock for one in every 10 seconds.

In fact this is also how I put the clocks back an hour, by putting my finger on the hands of the clock for one hour in every 24.

My pies are done, and by done I mean fucked.

Looks like I'll be spending my extra hour waiting in line at the pie emporium.

Are you using the correct finger?

He has already clearly explained that he only has one finger altogether.

My calendar has 16 months in it, am I exempt?

this isn't the gingerbread man, mate.  it's real life where pies can't move.

Don't forget you should be replacing your second hand annually, and check the remaining depth with winter coming up. The lads in the garage had to deal with one that hadn't been replaced for nearly 4 years, worn down to a stub it was and losing seconds by the minute.

Does that mean I did an hours worth less steps on my fitbit?

An only finger isn't always necessarily a correct finger.

if you mean an hour of worthless steps then yeah boy


but if you mean fewer then say so.  i am not your mother's second hand, joining the dots through thick and thin, dotting merrily away from one second on the clock to the next second on the clock

My clocks have all died. I am a naïve man with a medically small brain, but even I do not believe this is coincidence.

I'm all for pranks but this was too far. Also I cannot stand pranks.

ok bottom line is you did something wrong with your clocks and you now need to phone your dad


you probably even did it on purpose just because you love speaking to your dad so much on the phone

My father died working in a clock factory you heartless piece of shit. We buried him in a grand father clock because he was a grand father. The best father. *sob*

It feels less and less like tonight, these days

Syd's going to waggle that head clean off its neck pipe, if he's not careful.

(opines Eddie's ghost in disquieting tones, etc.)
