O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

wait a minute... you set the clocks AHEAD for daylight savings time, so if he set the bombclock for lets say 6am, then the other clocks forward by an hour, wouldn't that make the bomb go off an hour LATER than he planned???
i could understand if it was fall when you set the clocks BACK an hour, but ahead?

I guess I’ll have to stop saying that DST is useless.

What if it was timed with a cell phone that automatically reset its clock one hour ahead?

It is funny an inept Irish terrorist blows himself up cause of DST....LOL
The brother read it in a British rag paper (Daily Mirror) and laughed,for some reason the American media ran with the story.
The Brits like to make fun of us but it’s just fun we don’t take it personal.
Slainte..

Doesn't look like a joke to me.
To: latina4dubya
so he just forgot to change the time on his wristwatch? or personal watch? but not on the bomb itself? Cell phone detonator perhaps?
They update the time automatically

OK, GSP fan, I'm not going to play these silly games with you. Let's wait until tomorrow or the next day and see if The Mirror really did photoshop these plus post all this detail plus
create a phony video (http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/bomber-blew-himself-up-after-3320761#ixzz2xeWoroGa) without any disclaimer and see who is the guillble one. I'll wait for your apology or supply mine.
A senior source said: This certainly was a high-grade explosive used in this bomb. It wasnt garbage stuff. It would appear the bomber got his timings wrong. It could be a case where he didnt put his watch forward on Sunday [at 1am] and the timer went off too soon. However, it is more likely he didnt realise just how powerful the explosives would be.
If anyone had been in the car or walking near it at the time then they would have been killed. The Volvo SUV was completely destroyed in the blast while a house beside the vehicle had its doors and windows blown off.
The army bomb squad was called to the scene by police and the Explosive Ordnance Defence unit was carrying out a post blast analysis yesterday.
The car owner runs a business in the area and has no criminal convictions. He declined to comment when contacted yesterday. Detectives are probing if the attack was perpetrated by an inner city gang.

Apologize for what??
Just repeating what my Irish brother told me.
BTW the Daily Mirror a British newspaper is the only paper with the article not 1 Irish newspaper has the article and if you google it all articles are linked to Daily Mirror.
