Seriously, the only thing more painful for me this week than reading this comment, was signing up to reply. Between three and sixteen letters my ass!

Really? The only people that matter are those with cell phones? When I was growing up, and even last night, I was told by local news to set my clock back an hour. They've actually been telling me since Friday night, which is great because I rarely watch the news and don't subscribe to cable.
Yes, I have a cell phone, and yes it's a smartphone of a recent generation, and no I don't like it that much.
> With this system there would be a lot more small talk chit chat about time, you could plausibly arrive a minute or two late and 'not realise the time'. Time could be vague yet oddly accurate at the same time. It would be a whole lot of fun.
Great! I'll be in Belgium this week. Standup at the normal time?
Well I am glad that I have managed to get someone to sign up and contribute!
I do enjoy writing with my tongue firmly in my cheek when a story is either a 'first world problem' or if it has been discussed to death many times already. Hopefully I brighten someone's day, even if scores of others mod me down!
