Media What time is it where you are?

[Falconista]

The year is 2011 and a Canadian rock band (Simple Plan) teamed up with a British pop artist (Natasha Bedingfield) for the song 'Jet Lag'. A song that is either catchy or an annoying ear worm depending on your musical taste. A song that is now prescient to the Sweet FA almost twelve years after its release. How? It's a reminder that there are these things called time zones and depending where people are in the world, time varies and may not be the same as where we are.

Oh-whoa
Oh-whoa (so jet lagged)

What time is it where you are?
I miss you more than anything
Back at home you feel so far
Waiting for the phone to ring

It's getting lonely living upside down
I don't even wanna be in this town
Trying to figure out the time zone's making me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad, I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
So jet lagged (oh-whoa)

What time is it where you are?
Five more days and I'll be home
I keep your picture in my car
I hate the thought of you alone

I've been keeping busy all the time
Just to try to keep you off my mind
Trying to figure out the time zone's making me crazy

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad, I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Is so jet lagged (oh-whoa)
(Oh-whoa)

I miss you so bad (I miss you so bad)
I miss you so bad (I miss you so bad)
I miss you so bad (I wanna share your horizon)
I miss you so bad and see the same sun rising
I miss you so bad and turn the hour hand back to when you were holding me

You say good morning when it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad, I miss

When you say good morning but it's midnight
Going out of my head alone in this bed
I wake up to your sunset
And it's driving me mad I miss you so bad

And my heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
Heart, heart, heart is so jet lagged
So jet lagged (oh-whoa)
(So jet lagged)


So, people of the Sweet FA, what time is it where YOU are?

​

 

[Falconista]

I'll start.
It's 9:01pm on the 27th of January 2023.

 

[Ligma]

Victoria is the only state in Australia therefore everyone (except for those outside of Australia) should be saying 12:02am

28/01/23

 

[Braklet]

08:05am in the New York time zone, 27 Jan 2023

 

[Falconista]

Thank you Ligma and Braklet that's very interesting. I wonder if there are more people with different time zones to my own...

 

[Jabba73]

Do you want the time now or when you asked the question?

Are talking actual time or event time (as in time for another drink, time for bed, time I got my tax done etc) or a combination of the two?

He's doing his own version of NaturalDisaster's infamous "What band is your team" media thread?

Let's suppose I consume some edible substance that transports me to another realm... (no more detail lest I run afoul of BF posting rules, I'm already on the edge)

Do time values really matter on the astral plane?

Whatever time this this was posted must have been after the mods went to bed . This is prime #landfill material.

Do we really care about what time zone people live in? This is a Fantasy football league, not “Fantasy Friend Finder”

I think our dear friend Falconista was making a hidden point, my dear friend Senor M.
