There are some very strange posting times on these boards.

Who is a night owl , and is on the computer in the early hours ofthe morning??

who is working from another country like USA or Australia?

Who is on the computer all day?

I actually find it quite interesting, strange as it may seem.

hi,
i work all day from 7.30am to 6.30pm so i usually spend a hr in the evening
if im not working the next day then i will come about 9pm and maybe stay for a few hrs.but thats it for me.x :-)

I can be a bit of a night owl,but only post when I see an interesting thread.

My sleep pattern is all over the place so I post any time !
If I get hooked on a look-up I like to keep going on the same theme.

I can be on here at any old time, and at times late into the night and the wee small hours.
There's not a huge time-span difference from the UK - only 2 hours :-)

K.

If i am having a bad day then on here alday.(as not up to going out as maybe in to much pain.)

Some nights i am on here until 3am

Sometimes i post other just looking.

I write at various times but especially in the early morning. I add the timevthat I send a message at the bottom of the page. Living in Spain I am only one hour ahead of the UK.
I am almost always awake by 05.00hrs, brouse through the threads and then send replies.


07.09 Spain ;-)

I post at various times in the UK due to shift work. Its never after about 10pm cause Im not a night owl, but have been know to be around at 5ish our time.

Hi all, i'll pop on from 7 am till 9 pm uk time.

Here in New Zealand we are 11 hours ahead of you at present, but when we go to summer time and you go to winter time we will be 12 hours ahead. Or is it the other way around?

The time now is 8.55p.m. on Tues 21st

Huia.

I'm not sure what 'very strange posting times' are :-S

Oz time here is 8.30pm Tuesday. I usually post around this time until quite late if I am working on something interesting. I am up very early in the morning 6.00am to look at replies and info before I go to work.
On the weekends I also post during the day particularly if I am having a lazy "play with the computer" day.

I can't wait till I retire and I will be able to do my research during the day and not when I am tired at night.

I tend to post from about 0830am until maybe 1030pm. I am not a night owl, and even if I was wouldn't want to disturb my OH with tapping the keys.

Hello Georgina :o)

Wellll l keep my pc on all day and check it out as and when. Sometimes l wake in the night restless and respond to a few threads,or play cards or check out craft sites:o)) but rarely now! Been busier today as l have a craft room to sort out so l've not been on here as much. l don't work but do just as l want:o))

Agree with you there Island I was also :-S didn't realise there were set times to be on a computer :-(

I don't think I was suggesting that there are set times to be on the computer,
I had just noticed that some postings went out in the very early hours of the morning, and was interested in how many people were night owls or shift workers. or in another country. That was all, as I said. sort of 'curtain twitching' if you like.

My husband had 2 birthday greetings before 6 am, which prompted me to post the query.

Simples! thanks everyone for your enlightening and interesting replies. I can't work much more than 9-11pm due to epilepsy as I have been known to fall off my chair, so I do sympathise with those who are working through pain.

regards to you all#

Carol aka Georgina, I read it as you just being curious, or a 'nosey parker' about our lives and habits, wanting to know where we were and what times we came on. I have to admit that there have been a couple of occasions when I have posted at what was a strange time for me, 2 or 3 a.m., but would have been 3 or 4 p.m. for people in England. On those occasions I had woken and couldnt get back to sleep.

Huia in Kiwiland.

Hi

I'm on the west coast of Canada, and we are 8 hours behind the UK

I usually first look on GR at about 11 am to noon our time .... which is 7 to 8 pm UK time

and then I will still be posting upto about 7 am your time!


There are lots and lots of overseas members of GR, and quite a little community of us meet in the middle of the night with the insomniacs and shift workers!
