    Isn't it great? Why is everyone giving out about global warming for? I mean it's going to get warmer in Ireland.

    That's the deal right?

    I feel the days and I'm getting shorter. I think it's my back and the ageing process.

  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I just read all those posts in Mrs Doyle's voice.

    Sure 'tis still a grand aul stretch. Sure what would you be wantin' the good weather for anyways?

    Will you have a cup'a'tea? Ah, ye will. Go on.

    Go on, go on, go on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    I'm gonna just say it. I prefer dark evenings to bright ones. There's nothing worse in the summer than trying to get an early 'night' with your room like a sauna, the sun still shining in your window, stupid birds f*ckin singing outside and idiotic kids playing football on the street. Nothing better than throwing on your warm pyjamas, getting a hot water bottle and cuddling up under the duvet in a cold, dark room :)

    Winter is fab. You don't feel you have to be Doing Something.

    Snuggle in, and enjoy the hibernation.

    It's what the seasons are for FGS!

    I definitely notice the evenings closing in earlier now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    Just do what I do and put your watch ahead by 2 hours every week!

    It's next Wednesday 15:30 here.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    Fierce dark at 9pm tonight here in Dub.

    I have the curtains drawn and lights on by 8:30pm now. I like autumn and winter though!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,776 ✭✭✭This Fat Girl Runs


    I am definitely summer's child. I hate the long, dark, cold nights of winter and the sun setting earlier each night is so depressing. Every year after Christmas I begin the countdown to mid-February when the sun starts setting after 5.30 because then I know I'll get daylight after work.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,398 ✭✭✭whatdoicare


    Air has that heavy Asthma inducing damp feeling about it from about 6pm onwards, although my favourite times of the year are Autumn and Spring. I love the crisp snuggly, not too cold not too warm weather.
    Summer is a killer for me, the humidity here is just awful, looking forward to not sweating all the flipping time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,029 ✭✭✭Wicklowrider


    Definitely getting late early


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    I way prefer winter to summer. I'm a teacher so you'd think I'd be the other way round but bring on the fires, seeing your breath when you go for a walk, lying on the couch with a blanket, hot chocolate, sitting in my local with a hot port beside the fire, mulled wine at Christmas and getting to wear my nicest clothes. Love it.

    I love the dark evenings, but as soon as Christmas is over I can't wait for the evenings to get that little bit brighter and for the clocks to go forward again.

    So I'm pretty happy with the hand dealt!

    If we all moved to China we wouldn't have this problem. It's dark there now!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Dark at 4pm… soon… soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,218 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    The evenings are getting a bit darker but that happens every year!

    A man who has made the most of summer is not afraid of the winter!

    I know, what a stupid thread. "ah, the days are getting darker", "yeah yeah, I noticed that alright"

    Seeing your hobby is walking around naked in the house that is a good move
