      Hi! Holger,              On 10/25/2014 09:40 AM, you wrote:               PQ>> Nearly Saturday. :) And, not long till the Gold Coast 600(?)        PQ>> starts...               HG> Right you are. Motors TV will show a replay of the race at 21:20 tonight        HG> and then a couple of times tomorrow. The replay is 2h 10min long.              Maybe you get an edited version. (Lucky you!) Both days were live telecasts       of at least five hours each day, with one or two extra hours prior to the       actual racing.              Well, the best man won! The bloke who should have won at Bathurst. Luckily he       had enough go-go juice this time. :)               HG> The coming night we'll go back to standard time              Ah, we don't have that nonsense here. There are certain factions, amongst the       refugees who have moved north from our southern states no doubt, that are       pushing for our state to go with DST.              A recent TV/newspaper poll showed up major differences of opinion of       populations close to our southern border, compared with people to the north on       my locale. We've already knocked it back in a previous referendum (15-20       years ago?) and I don't think the notion would survive in the next one.              OTOH, if the politicians present some region-based 'ticket' then there could       be a split of populations, using different time zones. It's do-able but an       ugly idea nevertheless.              Of course, the whole idea of DST runs at odds with our environment. We have       the highest incidence of skin cancers in the world's population. And, the       idiots want to increase exposure time for the people.              Stupidity: the second most common element in the universe. ;-)              Cheers,       Paul.              --- Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/24.6.0        * Origin: Paul's Puppy 4.2.1 multiuser vBox - M'boro, Qld, OZ (3:640/1384)    |
