You haven't turned off the daylight saving setting in Windoze? WA doesn't have DST this year. M$ has a tool called tzedit.exe to edit the settings in the registry.

Your iPhone thinks it's in Bangkok?

I was going to give you the time now but when I'd entered it, it had already changed! Then I realised I couldn't actually give you the exact time.
Guess, there's no time like the present.

Regards, Rob

Hi David,
You asked for it (from Erick) and he provided.

I, personally was glad to see that video. It had been on the car radio a while ago. It was too hard to understand. Now I can appreciate what the canned laughter was for. .

Thanks guys it was a combined effort. Inadvertant but still valued.

Cheers Marty

Cheers Marty

Were you planning on doing that from Brisbane, or going to Perth first?
