The start of British Summer Time

[Dan B]

I'd dispute "most useless". What about, for example, "Remember remember the 9th of September/Gunpowder treason and plot"

 

[ianrauk]

Sping forward, Fall back.
works for me...Americanism or not.
Nice & easy to remember

 

[Amanda P]

It's the most useless aide de memoire of all time.

No.

That'd be "I after T except inside C".

Or was it "N before B except before E"...

or...

 

[TheDoctor]

Flemings left hand rule...or was it right hand rule?

I also remeber the phrase 'Richard of York got buggered in Venice', but I haven't the faintest idea what I'm supposed to interpret that as.

 

[rich p]

Ah, but "fall" was the original, English word and it survived in Britain in some dialects until this century.

Really? The yokels all stopped saying it 9 years ago?

Rainbows. And it's 'gave battle in vain', as I'm sure you well know...

Over the Hill, how about you always look forward to summer - that's the way the clock go? (unless you are a hayfever sufferer with a Christmas fetish)

 

[Morrisette]

There's a con with this clocks changing lark: they make the nights earlier two months before the shortest day but only make the days longer three months after. So I reckon the clocks should change at the end of February.

+1
It could've been light after work for three weeks already

Bit of a strange thing to say after what you said in the other thread...

Only a few days to go .

 

[GaryA]

I cant wait...the clock will read 6am instead of 5am when I get up with the bairn, oh joy

Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet. The colours of the rainbow and I think that is a much better phrase than the usual one.

Fleming - left hand for electric motors

Right hand for the torque vector from electric current in a solenoid.

Remember what they're for, but buggered if I can remember how to apply them

 

[marinyork]

Torque isn't a vector. That's the whole point .

 

[Angelfishsolo]

OK I am now hopelessly lost. I thought a Vector as a rep-mobile

Torque isn't a vector. That's the whole point .

 

[Dave5N]

[aperitif]I don't like small torque.[/aperitif]

 

[Sysagent]

There is a not very PC one for colour coding on resistors I know...
