Hi,
This didn't bother me up until I used the time on FSI to plan my day....kinda left a certain girl sitting in a cafe for 40mins. Man did I get in trouble!!!!:eek:
My clock on FSI reads an hour later than it should be, I have set my Options to GMT cause i'm in Ireland and DST is set to automatic.
Right now it says "All times are GMT. The time now is 02:44 PM." even though the correct time is 1.50pm.
Any idea's?

Aye, its fucked. Tell your lass to get ready an hour ahead of schedule and all will be fine.
Nar it's being seen to mate, we take your concerns on board ;)
Any chance of throwing the Oz clock in as
well, set it for Queensland time though.
;)

A quick fix would be to take it back another hour!!

One for Admin to consider there Robo.... depends on a few factors including demand I suppose.... a few time zones in Oz I'm guessing?
BTW, how's life suiting you down under?.... mid summer there now.... not that I'm jealous or anything....
Things are going very well, got a house and a car bought, wife at work already, not going in foe another month yet me, weather hot, but sods law, as the others who live on the Queensland coast will say, its done nowt but bloody rain since we`ve got here, don`t know how Queensland has the name "Sunshine State" its always cloudy, here`s the next 28 day rainfall forecast for Brisbane and you can see what I mean.!

Good eh, still, id rather be here, loving every min of it, the beer bloody expensive though $4-40 for xxxx schooner (prob spelt wrong) and a pack of 30 375ml stubbies from a offy, is about $35 - $45 so pretty expensive, petrol is well cheap though $1.22 for a litre about 50p.
Downside, had to set the alarm to 3am sun morning for the utd game ko 3-15am but was well worth it, went back to sleep at 5am in the daylight.
Off to bed now, night all.

Robo - You've just missed the last 10 years straight that we've been in the worst drought the country's ever had. Now we're in the la nina cycle where it pisses down constantly for a month or two - the dams are empty so we need it to rain or we'll be washing with air. Gone are the days when we'd curse the rain! You'll get your sun mate - and then some haha. You and me are probably the only ones in the county not complaining about petrol prices ha:D

Ya tried setting it to GMT-1 but it just stayed the same so I tried setting it to (GMT-2) and that went back two hours ok. Which means I'd always be early and I ain't getting off my arse any sooner than I have too:D
Got it fixed by turning off DST and setting it to GMT -1. The missus is shopping in New York, so it's all good.
Later.

Well there are 3 of us now! It would be helpful as a reminder, I sometimes forget with unfortunate consequences for the people I'm phoning!!! Mind you I am getting used to phone calls at 0130 in the morning.
Regards to all back in the Uk and congratulations to those in Oz and getting up at unearthly hours of the day to watch the footie. I have given up on that one.....could not hack it! Much better now that I can watch 2000 kick offs at 0700. Bring em on.
Cheers for the heads up Deadly..
Pissed down today again, think i`ve brought it with me, I know you`ve mentioned the la-nina effect, its more the "HELEN" effect if you ask me, ffs, that system wont go away, lol.
Best thing is anarl, the new PM is my local MP, MR Rudd. Going to give him some sh1t if things don`t go my way.
Enough ranting, could go on all night.
Off to bed.
Night all......:?
