2016 is the year of the leap-second. One will be added on Dec 31 at 23:59:60, so if you go to bed as normal on NYE you will get more sleep.

Then again you might not if the neighbours are having a hooley, playing Auld Lang Syne, 1999 and Let's Get The Party Started on a loop and letting off fireworks. Image Image Image

And I will be down the pub listening to a soul band and drinking cheap gin doubles till they come out of my ears, or out of any other orifice that they reach sooner.

Apparently leap-seconds are set to become common-place as the earth's rotation slows, and we might be getting two per year.

That hotpot sounds good ...... :mrgreen:
