| 577368 | 2007-08-07 04:34:00 | Hijack here...WARNING! Why does youse guys forum "clock" marks on the posts misreport the time immediately after midnight as (example here) 12:01AM to 12:59AM? I noticed this on the time stamps on the upper left corner of the blocks of the posts..(you know...like on the same wrong side of the road youse guys drive on). I am not being anal about this...this is just a heads up..OK? I have a plethora of other things about which to be anal and don't need another right now. |

| 577369 | 2007-08-07 04:58:00 | Joe, It's because most people don't understand time and can't cope with the idea of a "zero" first hour . It's not just "us guys" either . . . I'd bet that the forum software came from your part of the world . 24 hour time is far more sensible, and it avoids the a . m . and p . m . nonsense . Most people don't understand that, either . :( Of course, all good people should be in bed at that time, not making postings to forums . Only a plethora, Joe? Why not try for a myriad? |

| 577371 | 2007-08-07 05:14:00 | You were already in trouble when you left the sea and started going cross-country "in" Vietnam. This is reminiscent of the sad tale of the British submarine which collided with a bicycle. The cyclist was riding along the beach. | Graham L (2) | ||

IN Vietnam's waters, and the rookie on the helm was required to call back the course every ten degrees or so by general orders . . but after a while the OD realized that he hadn't heard anything from the wheelhouse, so he walked over and stood above me on the Tac/Plot board and using the 21MC, he asked the helmsman what he was doing . "Sir I am coming to course zero-zero-zero, as ordered Sir!" "Well . . . what's taking you so long to steady up, lad?" "Sir . . . I've passed the first zero and the second zero and I'm coming up on the last zero right now" . :blush: |

| 577375 | 2007-08-07 06:42:00 | Now I am lost...what numbers? What penchant? What friendly fire? I'm so confused. Need more Vicadin... am I being tested? am I being texted? |
