Time differences confuse me....

Okay, if the first Ashes test starts on the 23rd November in Australia, that means it's the night of the 22nd over here, doesn't it?

I need to make sure I book the right days off in annual leave.

You should have clocks on your wall like they do for the president in the West Wing - one for your time, one for the Ashes time. Just don't ask me about flight times and crossing the date line.

"Hang on, he's arriving before he left?"

You haven't actually helped with the time difference. Are Australia in front of us?

[fringedweller.livejournal.com]

Yes, they are haead of us. As I type this, the time in Sydney is 05.40.

See, you used that clever thing called the internet, didn't you?

[fringedweller.livejournal.com]

I did. Damn my masterly internet skills.

Ooh, that's a fantastic idea.

I need some kind of 24 hour Australian-themed clock...

It must have either koalas, boomerangs or corks on it, and you should name it Bruce.

It is far more difficult than you would suspect to find a clock shaped like a koala.

I've tried. It's a sad state of affairs that there are very few asutralian themed clocks.

I could buy a stuffed Koala and turn it into a clock...

We definitely need themed clocks. Otherwise I can see us getting very easily confused....

Ahead.
