    I love my heat my feather duvet stayed on all summer.

    You must have been sweating like Christy Moore last week.

    No cold today, just the right temp.

    Yeh that's fair enough. I'm referring to people going on about non existent cold. It's bad for people's health to heat up unnecessarily. Sorry, it's (as you can see :pac:) something that really bugs me. I wouldn't mind if it was something that didn't affect other people, but it does.
    And I'm not one of these "I love the cold and rain and winter" people. I hate the actual cold too.

    You don't like it too hot. You don't like it too cold.

    Do you have blond hair? Hang out eating porridge with bears?

    :D

    Sitting here, pouring rain outside, so it'll be a night in front of the TV.

    It's quite cold...is it too early in the year to light the fire?

    Should we just accept that Winter is here?

    I didn't realise fires were a type of calendar.

    had a couple of firelogs leftover from winter and lit them up today, did the job. The rain had been pelting down and someone arrived in soaked to the skin, couple of steaming coffees and a glowing fire later and all was well in the world.

    It's wet.... it's damp and it was a tad bit nippy today. So what not make yourself cozy and light a fire.

    Jaysus.

    22 degrees 10 days ago. Kant kope. Can't sleep. It's like being inside the sun.

    9 degrees cooler and it's Baltic - fires and mulled fcuking wine.

    What a truly resilient bunch we are.

    Too early as in it's not October yet? Yes, of course it's too early.

    One feckin' bad day, and summer is over? We can still get warm weather well into September.

    It's bucketing down here and getting darker by the minute. 11 degrees with a real feel of 8. Don't tell me it's not cold. :mad:
    Let me guess you forgot to go indoors ;)

    A bit of a breeze, bit of drizzle, grey skies - is not automatically cold.

    It was cold today.

    Big time. It's a bugbear of mine having shared houses with women who'd put on the heating in the fecking summer. So selfish.

    Sometimes it's cold enough in the summer to warrant putting on the heat/a fire. It's not selfish.

    Nope, it's Autumn.

    Ffs anyone that were around in the 70's know what it's like to be cold. Houses had no insulation only heat was in front of the fire and a hot water bottle for the bed. Pansies nowadays don't know how spoiled they are :mad: I heard someone say recently that back then his father got a brainwave to put the chairs in front of the fire and he made a wall behind each chair with large cardboard boxes to trap the heat from the fire before it went through the roof :)

    Yet it's people who lived through that who are always cold. :P

    Oh PLEASE don't start lighting fires yet. I couldn't bear the smell of winter in the air just yet. :(
    Do like your mammies say, put a jumper on!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,781 ✭✭✭KungPao


    Last week: wearing shorts, took a trip to the beach at Dollymount.

    Tonight: Following a ****ty cross-city trip in the rain and cold, got home, changed out of wet clothes and sparked up the gas fire on full blast.

    :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭robertxxx

    I grew up in a very poorly insulated, icy cold house and today I made myself a hot water bottle.

    It's set by specific dates!? This is Ireland...the temps are basically the same all year round bar the occasional "heat wave" and cold spell.

    Today it was utterly miserable in Dublin...last check at 9pm it was 12 degs, sensation 5! With rain rain and more rain and pretty low temps it means the fire can be lit!*

    *At least a crappy firelog or low settings on the gas fire.
