for cases like:
"just a minute"
"give me 5 minutes"
"let's start cooking in 30min"
so:
* "give me X"
* --(OK)
* after X:
--"Time's up!"
* "give me X/2 more":
--(can be agreed or not)
* "give me last minute":
--(always)
== BE READY WITHIN THIS MINUTE
== "CLOSE THE COMPUTER & PUT ON SHOES"
* "time's up"

Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) represent the same time at the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) but are calculated differently.
