How you know its summer?

slipss

Not actuall summer, as in the first of June or the summer solstice, but like when you first start to feel like its summer. For me it has to be when the little red spiderish fellas, blood suckers I think they're called, start to apear for thier annual campaign to take over the world. Either that or whn you first get that smell of warm tar out on the street.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

I had a Mr Whippy style ice cream over the weekend for the first time since I was a kid. That made it officially summer. (€1.85 for a 99!! Wow, I am out of touch....)

When my nose starts running and my eyes swell up and the kids all point and stare at me whilst shouting "Mammy, Mammy, its the Elephant Man, hes scaring me waaaaah" then I know Summer has begun.

Oh and also when my ballsack starts getting stuck to the side of my upper leg region.

When the daytime maximum temperature reaches 10 celcius.

When some bastard takes away our hour.

When my wife starts making idle comments that the lawn looks a little untidy I know its spring.

4.. When you see male drivers,first in trucks and then in cars driving topless

5.. when you go to the beach and your 'nads are frozen up into you

6.. When the Indo/Times/RTE/Star shows pictures of some young wan"Frolicking at Seapoint"

Pighead wins. What's with the lack of third person though? You're losing it old man.

brianthebard

When I start to freak out about impending exams, that's when summer kicks in, to try and break you and laze about on the grass....

KamiKazi

When I start getting covered in bruises. It only happens when I stop covering up!

When I look outside from work and think I'd love to be having a cold beer in a beer garden right now.

Then take a half day and go to a beer garden and have a cold beer.

loyatemu

when the smell of fresh cut grass is filling up my senses
and my toes are submerged in the water, and it feels good.

or when the weather is hot and girls are dressing less
and checking out the fellas to tell 'em who's best
riding around in your jeep or your benzos
or in your Nissan sitting on lorenzos
back in Philly we be out in the park
a place called the plateau is where everybody goes
guys out hunting and girls doing likewise
honking at the honey in front of you with the light eyes
she turn around to see what you beeping at
it's like the summer's a natural aphrodisiac

oh yeah.

them red yokes are called "spider mites" btw.

Alter-Ego

When i stand beside somebody in work and proclaim "Jaysus, its bloody warm".

When 3 Ice-cream stands, 6 coffee & pirakka stands & 3 "not so portable-portable" restarunts are set up in the town square

When the lakes finnally melt (hasn't happened yet)
