What do you assign to Mordor?

[Boromir88]

unconsciously leaving your deodorant in the refrigerator all night.

Not that it's awful, but I'm concerned of how mindless you have to be leaving objects in the fridge...that shouldn't go there. Car keys and remotes are one thing...but your deodorant? I'm scared.

Aw, Boro, at least the fridge smells nice...

Leaving objects in the weirdest places is just like me. I do worse things, sometimes; I look for objects that I'm holding in my hand. I do that all the time, and it's the most annoying time-wasting thing to do. And it's also embarassing when you can't find something in class and start panicking and asking around, and after everyone says apologetically that they haven't seen it you realise that you're already holding it...

I also assign my sister's habit of dumping books where she reads them. She reads no more than 3 at a time, yet the kitchen, the living room, the car, her bedroom, and even some closets are littered with her books. Moreover, when she reads she bends the spine. Wherever I go I see ugly bent up books. She started reading the Felloship about half a year ago, but she doesn't know where it is now. To look for it I'd have to turn over the entire house. No wonder she lost it!

Spine bending should go to Mordor, definitely. Sometimes, a spine gets damaged over time, you can't help that, but to do it deliberately makes me wince. I used to scan books for the guy I used to work with (he is blind) and of course paperbacks had to be broken in order to go on the scanner. He used to laugh at me wincing and break them for me first - I had to go and make a pot of tea while he did it. On the other hand, my brother used to go mad when I borrowed his Tolkien books in case I damaged them, and my mum had to make sure we had a set each - they still ended up bashed and broken though. It's a sad life, being a paperback book.

I've never had mine in the fridge, but I've used cold deodorant before and it isn't pleasant.

Makes me wonder what Boro did with the beer.

I assign daylight savings time. Vile, vile thing. Just leave the time alone, will you? It works well enough without people muddling with it. Europeans have it the right way. DOWN DOWN WITH DST!

Hah, not in the UK, they want to impose even more 'daylight savings' on us so we have no GMT any more, despite the fact that north of Birmingham it wouldn't get light until 10am in winter and then be dark by 4 anyway, so we'd spend our lives outside work and school in darkness. So I'm going to be like Ned Stark and send southern-centric decisions to Mordor too

Wasn't Germany the first place to introduce "daylight saving time"?

[Mithalwen]

We have DST and every so often Parliament debates moving forward to GMT+1 and "Double summer time" . France I know has DST (though confusingly I don't think they change at the same time as us). I have a friend whe maintains the whole problem in the UK could be resolved buy merely extending Summer time for all but December and January... but he is a card carrying eccentric (even by my standards) so I don't know if he is right or just a bit crazy....

However when I went around America by train after I graduated I lost track of time on the long haul legs - I went from Seattle to New York with only a very short break in transit in and 3 overnights on the train. I had a watch with dual time so I always knew what time it was at home but for where I was I wasn't confident withing 2 hours...

AGREED. *waves flag dramatically*

Spring allergies.

When the first and the last reps in your UserCP are blank.

I understand wholly. I have been ill and tired and generally feeling terrible since last Sunday. We had to go get not one, but three medicines for cold/allergy/flu/whatever. Two of them were for the allergies, one for the extra cold-on-the-side-thing, and I still can't breathe. The worst part about this is that it is now a two-week break from school and everything terrible, and I am ill. This always happens. I assign [I]that[I] to Mordor.
