How on earth is it August already?
How on earth is it August already?
Just thinking the same thing
Selective memory loss?
August? How the hell did it suddenly become 2025?
Same daylight hours as 10th May … by the end of August it will be the same as April 12th yet we’ll still be calling it Summer 🤷♂️
Because the daylight hours don't dictate that. Consider how little the seasonal difference is the closer you get to the equator.
Soon be Christmas.
“Never mind, Son; soon will be christmas!” One of my dad’s go to refrains🙄🤭 🤓🌱🕊️
How on earth is it August *2025* already?
How is it still 2025?
146 days until Christmas.
Oh, it's a lot fewer days than that for the supermarkets.
isitchristmas.com
😂
Shush
Just saying 🤷♀️
😱
I re:watched Game of Thrones one Christmas 😎. Elf and Arthur Christmas on a loop last time..
Pogues & Kirsty McColl for me 😂
first day after July...........
My bank account thinks its in January....next year 🙄
Or, indeed, why?
Yep, soon be Christmas ☹️
I believe that the passage of time is something which can appear variable when it is that a lot occupies our day, in troubled times, it may well appear as if a day passes in a heartbeat. I awoke today and discovered that it is indeed month No.8 of sobriety, where does the time go? 🤔
But y'know, do i think that the year could have been spent better or more productively? Probably, but i wouldn't change the progress made in a million years. It has been a strange year at that. Let us hope it's 2nd half can be made into something better :)
I hadn’t thought about it until you reminded me. 🤣😂
You wait until next year!
Yes, it’s odd how it follows July!
Seems to do that every year. Something to do with Augustus Caesar? Who followed Julius. After a few wars.
Never mind, Brutus sorted him out or have I got the wrong Caesar?
Don’t tell Trump that it’s possible to name months after emperors!
Yes, Trumptober which has x 34 days!
What fresh month is this?
Aye, the nights are definitely drawing in now.
On a fabulous beach in Croatia (near Rabac, Istria). Up for glorious sunrise. Had morning swim, sunbed and brolly all set up. Bacon n egg roll consumed. Life could not get better. Oh, hang on, 15 minutes until it just might… Hi from Greg (retired TVP cop, occasional caller) and Emily!
I blame the Welsh
It might well be the fault of the Welsh, but we will see a claim that England is stealing Scottish time....another call for independence for the wee people!
The bigger question is who has nicked the summer?
Only a fool would anger the wee people. “Wee, the people …”
By getting through June & July?
How is it August 2025? It seems not that long ago since I had my 21st birthday. In August 1981. Which means I'm soon to be.......aaarrgghhhh! 😬
Strictly starts next month, and finishes just before Christmas.. ☹️
It's not August until I decide it's August, it's July the 32nd
Who blinked?
It's @uklabourparty.bsky.social fault,everything else is...apparently x
Happy Tariffs D(el)ay!
Time was interminably slow under the Tories.
thanks for reminding me!
It's pissing it down with rain & I have the day off. Must be August.
I’m so jealous. We’ve got months before we’ll get rain again here in Cyprus. I love rain so, so much.
Joining you in jealousy longing for rain ..
With age we slowly fall into a time warp where the passing of years feels like months, months feel like weeks and weeks feel like days. I now get up every Friday and ask myself how is the the end of the working week already. It was Monday yesterday!
Tempus fugit old fruit.
No: Trumpus fuktit very young fruit.
how on earth have we made it this far ? Is the more important question !!!
It’ll all soon be over for good 😂
Strangely it feels to me later than August, it feels as if we are coming towards the end of summer already. I feel as if I'm already on the brink of Autumn. I'm harvesting hundreds of plums off my trees already, desperately trying to give them away and no one wants them!
There’s a colder touch in the air today.🙁
That's counting
That's the thing with glaciers, they move really slowly so we're convinced nothing serious is happening. Then really big bits break off and we say "Why so quick?!" I'm trying to make some contrived social commentary or symbolic point there - probably nonsense, make of it what you will. Happy Friday.
Yep, soon be my birthday.(again). Good old Leo!
And why on earth isn't it 2028 yet?!?!?
x.com/KHarveyProct...
Same reason as how are my boys 22 and 21.. the years roll by
Is it Fresh August Hell time? So soon? "Quick, Brenda, get the bunting!"
Hmmm.
Ah, I see you've had a visit from a time-thieving monster. (They are well known to the AuDHD community and target us furiously. This is my excuse and I'm sticking to it. 😂)
How on earth is it 2025 ?
Well... we started with January seven months ago. Then we worked our way forward, one month at a time. And now it's August. My guess is that it'll be September next.
There’s a definite pattern here …
I've heard a rumour it happens every year. Bizarre!
Very annoying. I haven't been anywhere and the dreaded winter is coming
The universe won't have noticed
Get ready for x-mas preparation 😅
Well, the earth revolves around the sun...
Because July just finished. I know, terrible. I'm here all week. 😁
Only two or so months before we start seeing the Christmas themes starting to appear in the shops...
Well the sun goes round...the moon aaaand.....it's got something to do with clouds.
Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.
You're getting older, time moves faster
Film4 has 3 back-to-back Xmas films, I'm guessing that means July's over 🤷🏻
Is this a new book title? It can't be an actual question, surely.
One for Question and answer.
I found the world moves a lot quicker when you're an adult and when you're a kid when you're a kid, it feels like the year last forever no, it seems it's over quicker than you. Blink
I retired on the 30th June. For me, getting to August has taken an age. July has really dragged. But in a "slow pace of life" kind of way. I highly recommend it. Not for you though, James. You're too important. Sorry.
Worldwide trauma makes time go faster
I'm not sure, but I sincerely believe the calendar needs revision. I'd like to see New Year's day moved to around now as waking up to a New Year in sodding January is bloody horrible.
Because they probably call it something different on other planets?
On Monday it's October
Wdym, it’s been only 6 months of Trump 2.
I know. It will be Christmas before we can turn round.
😱
See your teacher told you to pay attention!
dont know...i will call you next Thursday during mystery hour and we can see if someone can explain it
Blink fast enough and tomorrow it's Christmas 🤣🤣
Einstein posited that is relative to your frame of reference. It's funny how we were in the same place at the turn of the year and again now but we got here at different speeds? But then again Einstein didn't have a smart watch did he now?
How on earth isn't it October already? As we enter our 8th month of summer
youtu.be/zWYyycn_yCU?...
I wish it was August 2029, because at that time both Trump and Putin are dead, and everyone who have been part of Trump’s NAZI regime are in prison. Ukraine will have won the war, and Ukraine will be in EU and NATO. There will be peace in Ukraine.
What about a prize for being the worst vilest human being that ever lived?
You better start your Christmas list
Apparently life goes faster, as you get older 🤨 #SelfmgtLIVING-Works
Blame calendar makers. This is THEIR doing!
We skipped March and April. Did you not notice there was no April 1st this year? That's because it's been one long joke since New years day.
I understand it comes after July, and July just ended, so...
Time flies when governments are ignoring a genocide
Well you see the earth goes around the sun but we measure time funny on earth and use some sort of calendar some fella made up hundreds of years ago and that tells us it’s August. Who told him he got to decide what day or month it is, is what I wanna know.
Ah a temporal dictatorship inflicted on the west by some kind of papal bull?
The very idea. Who would do such a thing? Who would be stupid enough to even allow it?
You just know it’s going to be a Gregory. A David would never enact such vileness
I mean, he WAS called Augustus, he’s hardly going to call it Fred.
You’re messin. Was he?? I didn’t know that. Love a good coincidence :)
He really was!
Already 😳
Indeed :( Plus with schools increasingly having infection days in August they are stealing the last week or more of the month! I meant to write induction days, but I’m letting the more accurate typo stand.
Be Christmas soon....yay? 😬
God has sped up earths final days because they have become extremely bored with us and our stupidity. Don't blame them
I bet some of your callers will deny it and provide alternate facts saying it's June
If anyone has the answer I’d like to hear it please.
It's part of the fascist plot. Nothing seems right.
I still think it's the 1980s...
Time waits for no man.
COVID created a time slip that has never been fully repaired. The money for it was syphoned into magic bean cultivation by Mogg, & now every day is, in fact, only 20 hours long. We don’t know it because of the mind chip that was injected during vaccination.
🤣
You need to get out more.
Yes the year is going so fast?
Happy Lammas everyone.
Listening to Heathrow and thinking you lived in a different universe to everyone outside the South ? We have the tram from M/C airport that takes over 1 hr to get to city and you get Elizabeth line , Heathrow express . Ps we won War of the Roses and gave best football in Lancs !
Levelling up ?We have to fly thru London for intercontinental which is a complete pain . London gets billions for Elizabeth line , HS 2 that we had cancelled . How does expansion give jobs to the North ? We have over 6 million population between M/C , Lvpl and Leeds . No wonder Reform winning
Fk! 🤦🏻♀️
It has really crept up and kicked me in the arse (Bishop Brennan style). At least the new football season is nearly here.
Feels like September if you ask me.
Maybe the world is trying to gallop through the Trump presidency as quickly as possible.
Counting?
In in denial. It can't be August
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking racing around to come up behind you again the sun is the same in a relative way but you're older shorter of breath one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way The time is gone, the song is over, thought I'd something more to say
Rage! Rage against the dying of the light!!
Class.
My Nan used to say time goes quicker as you get older. I didn’t believe her until I hit 50! Almost a mystery hour question?
Days are sometimes slower but months and years? The years since the Brexit referendum, since Covid lockdown, since the war in Ukraine started, and since “the 7th October “ … ???
Linear progression of time, innit.
I hear you. Not nearly enough accomplished this summer. 😳
It's because July couldn't hack it anymore and retired
It's almost Jesus' birthday!
😡
It's an age thing, sadly. The older you get, the faster time seems to pass. 😢
Perplexity knows..... www.perplexity.ai/search/how-o...
Bruh
Don't worry, it'll be Christmas soon.
Seems like only last week it was January the 477th!
It’s an age thing, the older you are the faster time passes. You wait till you’re my age.
I know it's rhetorical but can't help but answer, counting. 🤣
Mystery Hour was yesterday.
Because it was 31st July yesterday 😊
