    It's annoying. You'd look up at the clouds, and swear it was a good day because there is no rain, but you can't see any sun :mad: Just cloud completely filling the skyline, no funny shapes or anything.

    I would rather seeing the sun and then heavy rain rather than white cloud and no sun or rain.

    Go and build yourself a very tall tower. Lego's the best bet.

    Why is it always moany in Cork Cark?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,388 ✭✭✭gbee


    Primarily because we are an island at the edge of a 3,000 mile wide ocean.

    Specifically today because a strong trough [storm] called Becky is engulfing us.

    I blame St. Patrick myself.
    He kicked the snakes out & they brought the weather with them!
    True story, it says so in the Bible!

    You should read the cloud watchers guide(could change ur mind) i bought this book in sligo bookshop and used to go cloud spotting as a kid one of my favourite hobbies.

    I could never understand people complaining about irish weather you live here and it practically rains 365 days a fookin year :D

    Did you know there are no moles in Ireland?

    I didn't either. Man, I love QI.

    Well, I guess that confirms the theory that cork men have tiny mickeys anyway, if you can pull that feat off. Good on you lads.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 949 ✭✭✭maxxie


    because you touch yourself at night, oh and we are an island!

    oh oh and cork is **** :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,133 ✭✭✭Sarn


    Cheer up op. There was a beautiful clear sky this morning on the East coast. Here's a substitute.

    You must've rode some Cork lads with tiny mickeys to come by this hypothesis I suppose.

    No I heard it when I was train-banging all the good looking girls down there. I'll admit the train didn't last too long though due to the small number of them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 751 ✭✭✭lologram


    Clouds or GTFO

    Cloudy and dull make me a bit sad.

    But what makes me sadder is your misspelling of the word Cloudy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,466 ✭✭✭Snakeblood


    I'm going to go out on a limb and blame all the clouds. I think it's related.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,144 ✭✭✭DonkeyStyle \o/


    I agree OP it's way too cloudy all the time, it makes everything look so dull and depressing... almost claustrophobic.

    Enjoy your hand.

    I'm finding quite the opposite, actually.

    I go out and take a few photos about the town, come back to the house, stick them onto the PC, and then have a choice of plain skies, or render in some clouds with some image editing software.


    It's quite annoying. I've rarely had a lovely cloudy sky when out and about. :(

    Bit rough to be suggesting that having a **** is better than anything Cork can put up to be honest, especially considering your location lists you as being from there.

    So much for all the rebels being proud rebels I suppose :(

    Yeah

    Yours means "feel sorry for me".

    Not really, I've lived in Cork for 10 years, and spent a lot of time in Dublin. Dublin is one of the most awful cities I've lived in. Cork is far from ideal but it's pretty decent for a small city. Dublin is a small city that thinks it's a big city because of urban sprawl gone wild.

    the real capital...i laughed out loud.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 117 ✭✭BillShorey


    Ok Kold, lets leave it at that.

    1-0 to BillShorey. Better luck next time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 273 ✭✭wingsof daun


    haha Your understanding of the skies is really limited. If you were observant enough, you would know that what you seen were the trails left from aircraft. After these disperse, the sky takes on a white colour, not a blue. It takes a good few planes, and criss-crossing numerous times to create this effect. As the trails slowly disperse and widen they can be easily mistaken for clouds hours later.

    you know the way people say "like a cloud hanging over you" when not feeling good....and the way theres lots and lots of moaners in ireland?

    thats why, nothing to do with being beside the atlantic ocean...honestly.

    Yes i would have to agree... The weather and that dull sky would depress the living ****e out of anyone.. thankfully i was lucky enough to get the hell out of there!!!:D
