No chance of that, Ron. I'll be doing my best to get my revenge on my good friend Arttidesco.

Ah, but don't forget that 7 pm Oz time is 10 am UK time (I think - we don't put our clocks back for another few weeks; when do they change in Oz?).

Edit: just checked out Australian time zones - how very confusing. No doubt Ron will give us his usual countdown so we know when to check in for the quiz.

HI Guys..For your Info..Queensland does not have Daylight Saving..
The Government decided that all that extra sunlight would Fade the Curtains..
(Most other States do have it,Which came in a couple of weeks ago.)
Time here now is 7..P.M. Monday Evening..

E1 Pix...What do you mean Round Place...I am from N.Z. and we know the earth
is FLAT..That,s why I dont travel by boat in case we drop off the edge,,
I travel by plane so that I can see if we are going too far,,and Qantas lets me wear
a Parachute in case I have to jump..

This is fascinating. According to this Australian time zone map if (today) you cross from Western Australia into South Australia you have to put your clocks forward two and a half hours. Is WA just later than the others in adopting daylight saving, or does it stay that way all summer?

HI Timpolly,,Yes it is confusing when it comes to time zones..Probably caused by each state
having its own Government,,and make their own laws..Thats why many radio stations don.t like to
give the time.Someone from another state might be listening,and be late,,or early for work.!!
The Aus. Government radio station gives the time and often gives the time in all states..Confusing.!
Queensland voted on daylight saving 8 or 10 years ago and got 51 % NO and 49 % YES..Many
voters in North Queensland said they did.nt want an xtra hour or two of hot temps..thankyou..

Hope to see you all tonight..Sorry that Alttitude will not be attending,,or David Mc K. but E1Pix might
stay awake (or get to sleep 6 hours early )

Hints for tonight...Who won the.....Name cars that were powered by a.....What was the total number
of laps....Who was the actor....What was Ambrose.s......In the Rugby....She who must be........

That must give you a good start....!!

E1 Pix...What do you mean Round Place...I am from N.Z. and we know the earth

I travel by plane so that I can see if we are going too far,,and Qantas lets me wear

RonMac, that's nice of Qantas. You know, I heard it was kinda flat in some places there, which is fine, but I did not know the whole country — and indeed the planet — still was. Did you invent flatbread so it matched your yard? SonOfa....!

....but E1Pix might stay awake (or get to sleep 6 hours early )

So am I right it's 3 am tomorrow morning Mountain Time US, 1 day and nearly 7 hours from now? Thanks and I'll try, Bud, maybe bed later tonight and so much shuteye I must stay awake tomorrow night. I'll be even dumber that late, which is good for the rest, of course. and may be your master plan but yes, dumber is hard to fathom.

If not, send darts, I'll understand — or call in your most-sensual voice and wake me up (best to hire this part out).
