<kbmonkey>
sjoe, okay. Next item :]
[17:39:07]
<nuvolari>
maybe we should apply for DST in ZA. an extra hour now and then can come in handy

<kbmonkey>
Indeed!
[17:39:36]

DST?

<nuvolari>
I don't know if they loose or win time
[17:40:00]
<magespawn>
Duh. Lol
[17:40:05]

[17:59:41]
<magespawn>
Do the cd have
[17:59:41]

[18:01:07]
<kbmonkey>

[18:01:30]
<Tonberry>
