In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Blog Entry: The British Isles

2005 July 5, 09:39 AM

I've always wondered if the British Isles exert some sort of calming/intelligence force. The Vikings were some of the most wild and violent peoples in the world, but, when they came to England, they formed the most sophisticated and courteous nation in the world. Conversely, people who leave the British Isles end up becoming loud and boisterous (Americans), rude and surly (Australians), and/or unsophisticated and cloddish (Canadians). I realize this blog entry will offend Australians and Canadians, and apologize in advance to the French people for not insulting them as well.
