Things to do during an Irish Summer?

FooFighters

So, as you know, the weather is not exactly good so far. I am just asking ye, what can a seventeen yer old and his friends do thats not the typical normal stuff one can do. If possible, not too expensive. Thanks in advance

Mr Benevolent

Get very wet.

hondasam

Build a tree house and ye can shelter from the rain, play games have a party.

Mr.Crinklewood

Walk, take photographs in strange places, make a blog.

Then make balloon animals with them.

I often think how unimaginative we have been. Other countries have adapted and made their weather conditions a part of their culture. In Ireland we are still surprised when its pissing rain in June.

We should be used to it by now and be able to make the most of it.

Then give the balloon animals to your girlfriend and she might have unprotected sex with you.

There's plenty of different festivals happening around the country each weekend. Pick one you'd like and head off for a couple of nights, you don't have to spend a tonne of money either, a lot of them are free.

Find another group of chicks and hang out of them. They'll be looking for the same thing.

Sit inside and watch the rain...

Diego Maradona

Bog snorkelling

Shryke

Arson, theft, race motivated hate campaign, join Fight Club, fellatio, learn to play a musical instrument or make a boat out of swans and cable ties.

Wallow in your own self pity until 5am every day. Then sleep until 2pm

Get a few of your mates together and go camping.

If you have a bike get a few of yous and cycle to some different county make a proper trip of it. I did it when I was around Seventeen ( feels weird saying that, been a while), with two other lads, we cycled from Dublin to Wexford and it was loads of fun and real cheap, just need a bit of money for a hostel and food and stuff like that.

Loads of stuff to do, depending where you live as well and how far you're prepared to g

Yeah, do that. You don't even need to be spending money on hostels and the like. Buy a bundeswehr poncho in an army-navy shop and camp under that, that's what I do. Or get one of those cheap tesco tents, some of them are ok.

You could also consider going hitch-hiking. That's another fun adventure with the minor potential for rape and murder.

Eat lots of doughnuts, get fat and set fire to the rain.

Then sing a song about it.

Nonsense. We invented the pub because of the rain. For centuries it worked like a swisss watch.

Nice day - ah I fancy a cider.
Sh1t day - well its a day for a high stool

Then the bastards ruined it all by putting up the drink, closing the pubs, serving ****in lattes and banning drink driving. This will take decades for the Irish psyche to adapt to

Watch Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Then join a Karate class and do some meditation.
By the time summer is over you should be a qualified ninja.

I want the summers from the '90s back. I remember weeks of sunshine and hardly any rain. I spent all day out in the streets and the park. It hardly ever rained. The last decent summer was in 2007. I used to get sun burned as a kid playing outside. I haven't got even a tan here in years.

Climate change big time. We are getting warmer and wetter summers just like they said and calmer winters. We are actually getting sunnier weather in winter now even though its cold.

I swear, I think I'm growing webbed feet. Get me off this godforsaken rock before I wind up terrorizing a small Japanese village!

Put down a fire because it might as well be winter:rolleyes:

The Japanese have had enough trouble. Terrorize China for a bit.

I suppose cow tipping is out of the question then?!

i've been trying to start a fight club for 5 years. Does anyone know how the hell you're meant to invite people? there's only so many times one can beat oneself.

Make productive use of your time. Learn a language or a new skill.
