Question Wot's up with the clock?

There was a sticky for a while about the system clock. It's changed, I put a change of pattern into my profile to get back in sync with the time here in Ireland, and now, a few days later, I'm posting an hour ahead of myself.

Now, if I could find a way to use the hour difference to sort out the winning lottery numbers..........................

[later edit] This was posted at (according to the system, GMT +1, and it tells me that's 17:25, only snag, GMT at the time I posted this was 15:25, BST was 16:25.

Confused? You bet

It's gone so smoky in here I can't find the button to go to my profile and change it back again

Thanks, and if someone forgets in October, you can be sure we'll let them know about it
