Do Sunday evenings still give you that 'I haven't done my maths homework' feeling

    It's years since I left school but it's only quite recently that I've managed to shake off that slightly apprehensive feel on a Sunday evening. I know other adults who still get the heebie jeebies if they hear the theme from Glenroe playing, or hate watching Last of the Summer Wine because it gives them an 'end of the weekend' feel.

    I think Sunday evenings are worse than Monday's!

    A few pints and a chicken curry will sort that out for you.

    No, but then I never really got that on Sundays.

    I pretty much always did my homework around 9pm the day before it was due, so not having my homework done on a Sunday evening was par for the course.

    Always a last-minuter I was.

    Absolutely this. I even get that feeling on a Friday after I leave work, dreading doing the ironing on a Sunday.

    No.
    I usually had it done.

    I'd arrive in on Monday and ask around. As soon as the teacher came in, I'd go up and whisper the names of the people that hadn't it done.

    I still have a smug expression on my face when I think back.

    Never did any maths homework. Did it all in the maths lesson. In fact never did any homework at home. Did all that in the maths lessons also. I like maths....

    Father ted is the Glenroe of my adult years.

    When that comes on on a sunday night the depression kicks in.

    It's worse for me on Sunday, because I usually enjoy my Friday evenings and Saturdays. Sundays are like a depressing realisation that I have to work again for another 5 days before I have another 2 days off. Would love 3 day weekends, Saturday to Monday.

    No, I'm one of these strange people who likes Monday mornings. :D

    I rarely lounge around watching TV on Sunday evenings, I like to get out for a few tea-time pints and then either ram-raid the chipper or else hit up the local Indian or Italian with Woman.

    No matter how bad my job gets, I don't think anything can come close to the dread of hearing the Glenroe music. Gives me PTSD even thinking about it

    I usually try to cook a nice meal on a Sunday evening, and have an early night. Of course, since I've left the Saturday night clubbing days behind me, I rarely have the horrors trying to get to sleep on a Sunday

    Probably why a lot of people always have the few pints on a Sunday evening.

    That and because pints are lovely.

    Lovely pints.

    Lovely pints.

    There is something very civilised about four or five cold ones on a Sunday evening. I too have left my clubbing days far behind... :pac:
