And no not the song by Coldplay even though I happen to like it, but the whole adjusting time malarkey. Why do we do it? It's light in the evening until nearly 6.30pm now. The kids have long been back from school, factory and agricultural workers I'm sure finished hours ago so that leaves us office workers, most of whom are used to going to work and getting home in the dark during the weeks of mid winter and are revelling in the already expanding lighter hours.
Modern society has moved on. We no longer need the extra hours of daylight to bring in the crops or whatever. Kids aren't walking home in the dark so why screw up my body clock for a few days and give me one less valuable hour of my weekend until the autumn?
Gripe. Moan. Whinge. I'm going to bed now so I get to sleep before the 'early hours'.

Mosh sent me this story from NME as he thought I'd find it funny. I did but, I suspect, not as funny as he did being a firm hater of Coldplay. Perhaps it should be a QoTD: 'Singing which song at karaoke should always result in physical violence towards the singer?'

A Coldplay fan has been beaten up following their rendition of 'Yellow' in a karaoke bar.
The incident took place in Seattle on Thursday (August 9) at Changes.
As the unnamed man took the stage to sing the song, a woman reportedly declared: "Oh no, not that song. I can't stand that song!"
She then leaped at the would-be singer, shouted expletives at him and told him his singing "sucked", while expressing the same opinion of the song, according to a Seattle police report.
She pushed the man and punched him, all in an effort to stop his singing.
Other patrons went to the singer's aid and hauled the 21-year-old woman outside.
Robert Willmette one the barmen at Changes said: "It took three or four of us to hold her down."
According to the barman, the woman "went crazy" when she got outside, punching him twice in the face.
The police were called and blocked the whole street off.
The officers took the woman, whom Willmette described as "a little hippie girl", to the ground.
She assaulted the police officer and was booked into the King County Jail for investigation of assault, reports Seattle P.I paper.
