Looks to me you're contradicting yourself claus. Once you say 'it is obsolete nothing to for ordinary people' then you say Icelanders are more or less ordinary (they don't offer useful things to the world).

I dont think so - but if then it is because the world many facetted.

Maybe something important from Iceland come to your mind? My recent memory is about financial hokus-pokus. We have suffered from that for years - and now it has come to end. We all welcome that.

The Nordic Sagas, the icelandic handwritings are famous. They also have some world known authors like Haldor Laxness. I also think they elected the first woman for president.

As an individual-travelling various countries,and a BBO member and with time differences especially across USA Russia China Australia-i get totally confused as to times when Vu graph is on, in relation as to where i am

suggestion can we have always quoting GMT or display a time clock which all announcements revolve-also when one has logged on and persons total stated then convention c update and one is in---- could the clock be now displayed somewhere permantly as a feature

any further input fellow creatures regards

If you are taking a laptop with you, the vugraph schedule will always be shown in the same time zone (whatever you set as the timezone of your laptop). Just don't change your laptop clock, and the vugraph schedule will be correct with respect to that clock.
If you are using someone else's computer, it should display the in your local timezone wherever you are.
So, I don't quite understand your problem.

I think the OP was in regards to times given as part of the commentary, rather than the vugraph listings.

Claus you don't understand my post. I did not say anything about Iceland, you said that GMT is obsolete to ordinary people. You also said Icelanders are ordinary, they are not anything out of the common. But you also admitted that GMT is not obsolete to Icelanders. That is a contradiction. Anyway, the Icelandair open is a great bridge tournament.

When commentators announce the time of the next session, they often do it in several different timezones, usually including New York and GMT.
