I mean what gets on your nerves when you think about summers in Ireland

The sun.

I'm a rain person.

You could try talking to your neighbor or failing that report them, don't let their loud music ruin your summer.

The only bad thing about the summer is when it rains otherwise I love it, I love June when we have 18 hours of daylight.

I always find it warmer in April and May then rather in June whioch like July has been awful the past few years.

I always have a word but two days later its the same again. I don't mind them listening to music but its the type of music they listen too i dislike.

The general impression is that it rains quite a lot of the time in Ireland but in fact two out of three hourly observations will not report any measurable rainfall. The average number of wet days (days with more than 1mm of rain) ranges from about 150 days a year along the east and south-east coasts, to about 225 days a year in parts of the west.

Only 1mm of rain in a day is hardly monsoon season, and less than half the days of the year have any rain at all.

Also seen as i have hay fever the cutting and smell of fresh grass is a killer:(

So when they say "wettest summer on record" they're only winding us up?

Kids playing (usually screaming their heads off) on the green well past midnight, keeping me awake!

The tiny flying insects that pop out along country roads.

The utter lack of what could be readily quantified as such.

scumbags walking around topless drinking cans of dutch gold in every green space in dublin.

RAIN! Every holiday I've had in Ireland over the past eight years, there's been at least three days out of seven that have been completely washed out. I don't know, maybe I've just been unlucky, maybe I pick the wrong weeks to go on holiday. At any rate, I'm in no hurry to go back to Ireland permanently.

When you get woken up at 6am by a large fly that sounds like jumbo jet and you go back to sleep hoping it was just part of your dream, only to be woken up again and again by the stupid fecker hitting into the window.

melissavm · 23-04-2010 09:10AM

Wasps, bumblebees and midgets. And allergies.

BigDuffman · 23-04-2010 09:13AM

Knackers migrating on the dart to nicer areas wearing trackie bottoms, a cap, with their ben sherman shirt off and draped over their arm swilling away at cans of dutch, whilst listening to sh!te Euro Dance filth like scooter.

Travel in herds with their hands curiously shoved down the front of their trousers, cause trouble leave nothing but rubbish and cans in picturesque areas.

That and pesky wasps trying to sting me!

arsenallegend · 23-04-2010 09:18AM

Pathetic isnt it, although toe-rags DO love the sunshine.
