    ... and what are you looking forward to about the summer?

    I'll miss the incredible smell of turf burning but I'm looking forward to my brother ringing me and asking me if we could sneak in a quick 9 holes before work.

    He's the one with the job.

    Pretty much nothing. I don't see any value in Winter. Year-round summer FTW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,788 ✭✭✭✭krudler


    Getting dark early, frosty mornings, rain (well thats still around but its that sh1tty humid rain that we class as a summer) and Halloween, love the feel of the place around then.

    There's absolutely nothing I'll miss about winter per se.Good times are had in winter but the warm months are far better

    I shall miss looking at the world from what seemed at times like the inside of an ice cube. No power, no phone, no heat. I shall also miss the near three weeks of bonding with all my family in the cold and the dark and the quiet. Not an whirr from an xbox,ps3 nothing. I shall miss feeling like a caged animal waiting for a council road scraper to emerge in the night and scrape me a path back to consumerism. But it was nature that came to my rescue and the snow left. In fact winter you can shove it up your bollix for free and fcuk off while your at it.:D

    Live in Amsterdam. Work in Germany.

    What I'll miss about winter: Gluhwein at the Christmas markets.

    To look forward to: Scantily-clad frauleins and topless sunbathers in the Vondelpark.

    Is there any difference between winter and summer in this country? (Dec was an extreme event which we'll probably never see again in our lifetime)
    A typical winter day sees rain and temperatures of around 10-12 degrees under a blanket of cloud, a typical summer day sees rain and temperatures of around 15-16 degrees under a blanket of cloud.

    The difference is we can have FESTIVALS in the summer and you can sleep in your tent at it and you'll be fine, even if it is raining/cloudy.

    Try sleeping in a tent, in the middle of a field, in December or January and you'll get hypothermia!

    Feck winter, roll on the festival season.........:cool:

    I'll miss that crisp feeling on frosty mornings.
