Is the Grapevine clock on the blink?

[annacruachan]

I have just sent a message about strawbs v. rasps. It was 1.32 when I sent it, but the time recorded on the forum is 1.40! It's not even 1.40 yet as I send off this one.

yep its about 8 minutes fast

8 minutes is good for Grapevine Clock! Just wait until October 31 it will take until March whatever to catch up

Don't know about the clock, but although I'm technically logged in and able to post, it's not showing the details at the top of the page, it means I'm struggling to PM people, which I normally don't do much of, but wouldn't you know it, this week I need to.

It's obviously your turn for the Grapevine Gremlin, Bluemoon !

Flum's had it, Piskie's had it, I think Nicos did a while back, and Wayne's had it recently too!

Comes round here I'll splat it big time!

It's a little known fact that the Grapevine is in fact fitted with a flux capacitor and has travelled back in time 8 minutes.

That's why I won't actually write this post for another 8 minutes and yet it's on the forum already!

Sadly it can't time shift again until it generates another 1.21 Gigawatts of electricity and we're all out of plutonium.

I actually called the speaking clock (now dial 123 - used to be called 'Tim' when I were a lass!) t'other day, coz my pooter, mobile, watch and kitchen clock all said different times. Turns out bladdy Pooter was right (no, not the 'Vine), mobile was 10 seconds out, watch was about a minute or so out, but the kitchen clock (that I refer to most ) was on another planet!

The last time I phoned the speaking clock "Tinkerbell" was the announcer.

PS UK Time - What's the current UK time now? is quite accurate
