That was a bloody good idea, that causes a dip in the water and the boats can go under the bridge

Now i go back drinking some more booze

If people get up in arms about the giving and taking of an hour a couple of times a year it's good we aren't about to remove 11 or so days from the calendar to adjust it as they once did (I think 11). I read that there was some real concern expressed by the general public at having their lives shortened. The social media would be going nuts and and the BOM guys would have to start wearing body armor.
