Daylight Savings Time
This weekend we have the Fiesta Malaysia, the conclusion of The Melbourne Arts Festival and free entry to art exhibits on Sunday. Remember that our clocks are going forward this Saturday/Sunday at 2AM. I wonder how they change all the times in the clocks in Flinders St. Station? Also if a pub closes at 3AM, does that mean that it will close at 2AM? I suppose I will have to test it out this weekend.

Its even more confusing in Australia….
From Wikipedia:
Australia
In Australia, the decision to implement daylight saving time is left up to each state or territory. Some states or territories implement it and some do not.
New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, Australian Capital Territory and South Australia apply DST. Tasmania starts DST earlier than the others, beginning on the first Sunday in October, for other states it begins on the last Sunday in October.
….
Western Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland do not have DST. Queensland experimented with it for a year or two in the early 1970s, and again in the 1990s, but it was not popular and was abandoned.
….
NOTE: As of 25 October 2006, the Western Australia government is considering legislation to support Daylight Saving Time with a 3 year trial starting in December 2006 and eventually being put to referendum
So basically, half the year we have 5 timezones. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Australia-Timezones-Daylight.png

It’s confusing enough changing am to pm
and addind or subtracting 2.5 to 3 hours.
How many watches do you wear?

No daylight savings makes you change clocks from am to pm… and most daylight savings only changes forward or backwards one hour.
How many watches do you wear?
As for watches, as many as you like :P
BTW didn’t the premier of Queensland say something like that he wasn’t gonna introduce DST as it will increase the number of skin cancer?
I’m in south east Louisiana if I didn’t
change am to pm I’d go insane!
