Did you ever look at the local time of the people posting in a thread? I aways seem to think it's the same time of day for everyone, but it varies widely.

No, i realised in primary school in geography that different time zones existed. Although when travelling you can forget. Turns out parents go into a slight panic receiving phone calls fromPrague at three in the morning.

I often find the same thing at work. You find the need to call a next of kin on their Mobile number for something relatively minor, only to find that they currently happen to be working in Dubai. or something - and, of course, we're supposed to be able to know that.

It's just kind of weird to know you are posting over breakfast and someone answering you is posting before bedtime.

Ah, It's early in the morning in New Mexico. The sun is barely up, and the air is still cool. But it's already the afternoon in England so Mr. Farange may have said something weird and mean like "so most of you have never had a proper job..." by now.

Where I am the sun set for a very few hours was up in the north of scotland over the solstice where it never really got dark. The sun shone this morning then it rained then the sun shone now the rain is bouncing off the grass. Hot and humid living in what was a country covered by temperate rain forest. I really want to visit arizona and new mexico tyhe countryside looks fantastic.

If you drink until the sun comes up, does that count as drinking late or drinking in the morning?
