Hey, Pot!
I'm on-call 24/7, so time doesn't mean much, anymore. The only difference is that sometimes there's light, and sometimes there's dark.

Time is so slippery. It is always <insert time here> somewhere.

Like the song says 'it's five O'clock somewhere' that means it's beer O'clock!
Pedants would object 'the time zones only go in hour intervals, so if it's not the top of the hour where you are, it's 5 O'clock nowhere'. The correct reply to this is a smack in the mouth. qjs

"the time zones only go in hour intervals . . ." As a pedant, I have to say -- check out Newfoundland. According to that source of all truth, Wikepedia, "in a few regions, half-hour or quarter-hour differences are in effect".

Which part of your mouth are you least fond of? :-)
Seriously; thanks. That'll teach me to trust diary inserts.
A woman once accused me of being (spelling phonetically) 'pedantik'. I wasn't standing for that! I told her straight; "I think you'll find it's pronounced 'pidantik'. :-)
By the way where does Wikipedia reputation for inaccuracy come from? I've never known it be wrong. But I only read the serious pages. No reason anyone would lie about a historical date say. A lot of arguments would be solved if people checked it. Not to start a debate; but the so called climate change 'scientific' debate ended for me when I looked up the climate sceptics and almost none of them were climate scientists. It's not a debate between the scientists; it's a debate between the sceptics and the scientists.
Are the celebrity/sports etc pages deliberately filled with lies?

When it comes to controversial or limited public knowledge topics, the entries are worthless. There a very limited amount of fact being held together with the proverbial "chewing gum, duct tape, and baling wire". It's a lot like the talking heads after a disaster. The more mundane stuff (i.e. hard sciences, literature, etc.) are reliable.
