    Look out the window and complain about it raining and ask is the summer going to come at all.... just the same as we did last summer and the ones before

    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.

    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.

    The young lad is sensitive. Have a ****. It might clear the horn fever you've got temporarily.

    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:

    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.

    Thanks, that sounds like a plan to me. At least your not like the other sarcastic fools.

    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,729 ✭✭✭Pride Fighter


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

    learn to windsurf.

    honestly when you think about it with all this wind and rain you might as well do something that uses wind and involves getting wet anyway.

    I can't do it as i have glasses and can't wear contacts. butthe rest of you have no excuse.

    I'll be off walking in the rain.

    See that's the problem I'm having. Does advertising on Facebook count as talking about it dyou reckon?

    Go to gigs! Lots of free ones on all the time if you're in Dublin or any of the cities. Ye can get by without drinking much because you're being entertained and they finish at about eleven so you can still get public transport home. You find lots of brilliant bands and musicians this way too so you get extra entertainment from the new cds. They usually sell them for a fiver.
    I'm off to a gig tonight! If you want a list of free regular gigs in Dublin I know a fair few! As longs as you're not a very young looking seventeen year old. :)

    Complain as usual

    If you're even a bit into computers, download an eBook and learn a programming language. Great skill to have - I'd say go out and get the ride, but if you're anything like me at 17 that's wishful thinking. Come to think of it, maybe that's related to the whole computer nerd thing...
