    Quiet estates becoming noisy estates.... kids out till all hours, running around and for some reason shouting at the top of their voices??
    The sun then suddenly the PISSING RAIN...???
    Hangovers on sunny mornings... awful.
    The almost constant sound of lawn mowers...

    Lots of things I do like but I hate the above!

    Obese, pasty skinned women looking like they borrowed some clothes from their 11 year old daughther, subjecting everyone else to seeing their rolls of lard flapping about over their bulbous crotch region which is barely being contained within the tight pink lycra leggings they are wearing.

    Being at the beach for the one day you're off and dropping food in the sand or getting sand in your drink, and then having someone say "ah sure it's only sand".
    Yeah, only sand people having been walking on and dogs have been pissing on.

    The smell of freshly cut grass is brilliant. Always lets me know that summer is here!!

    Not if you have pollen allergy/hayfever.

    Fucking ice-cream van with the stupid fucking music. I'm going to be doing my masters thesis at home this summer and trying to write about δ13C and C/N ratios isn't that easy with that shite-hawk coming into the housing estate three or four times a day. Fucking summer, I fucking hate it.

    1. Scumbags congregating in parks, beaches, boardwalks, median strips.. basically anywhere to drink cans of Dutch on a deck chair..
    2. Traffic jams on every road to every beach the minute a flek of sunshine comes through the clouds
    3. Ice Cream vans barrelling onto your road at 11PM with their sirens blearing
    4. The smell from the Liffey
    5. Hay fever
    6. Wasps
    7. Muffin tops, builders cracks and other visual treats* on display
    8. Can't get a seat in the beer garden

    I'm sure there's more..

    I'm generally a moany fcuker :cool:

    I actually love summertime in Ireland because you can go for long romantic walks in the evening and wear lovely summer clothes.
    And everybody is happy.

    Take a positive pill matey

    Nothing worse than wasps, bees and ants during summer

    Nah, mate, they all help in the pollination process and various other advantageous activities. Wasps, bees, ants....all good guys.

    Bag grease!!

    Trying to walk around in the stinking heat with your clackers marinating in clear fluid and the crotch of your jocks damp and sticky, while your arse crack acts as a funnel to feed down the salty sweat from your back into the same grease trap.


    That, and fcukers in those cargo shorts with the fcuking pockets on the side...

    That is a myth:

    met.ie


    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.

    If it hadn't been raining so feckin much, they would have been outside having a proper look.

    I hate having conversations with GAA nuts when I'm only passively interested in GAA, and can barely hold my own in a conversation.

    People wearing short shorts who should not be wearing short shorts. I don't want to be able to count the purple bubbles in your cellulite missus!

    Wasps and hornets and the way they take over certain parts of your garden.

    That's it, I love everything else :D

    UB40 are in no way to be considered ska. In much the same way as they are not to be considered reggae.
