    Well Teddy lad, it seems like you are spending far too much time in front of your computer. You joined boards just over two years ago, and you have managed to make more than seven thousand posts..

    I wonder how many of your posts were typed during daylight hours???

    Looks like a severe case of daylight deprived fourm junkie syndrome to me:D

    There was a marvellous dawn this morning just as I was coming in to work.
    If the day was much shorter or longer I wouldn't have seen it

    I'm finding it so miserable at the moment as well, hate leaving in the dark and coming home in the dark and generally I like winter. Roll on March. Also we can't figure out how to change the clock on our car so it's an hour ahead all the time, just going to wait until the clocks change again so it's right!

    In saying that, the last few years I was living somewhere that had pretty cold winters but the houses had no central heating or insulation/double glazing. People I talked to didn't know what a radiator was! I am noticing being warm enough in my own home is making the winter a lot more bearable this year so I shouldn't complain.

    I'm normally a grumpy fecker in the mornings but when you're in a country where its sunny all the time, getting up is great even if you're going to work. The sun definitely has a positive effect on mood, energy and the desire to visit a beer garden, while en route to work!

    i despise the winter, roll on march when the clock goes forward and then june when you walk down the road at 9 in the evening with a warm breeze on your back

    In Ireland? Yeah right.

    know that feel Ted, my apartment is dark enough anyways, but I feel like I'm sitting in the dark every day, it seems dark all day long, it's ****ing depressing, it's a real motivation killer, today was the first bright day in a long time and I felt much better for it. But most days it's a battle of am I supposed to turn on the lights and close the curtains early or be in darkness.

    I actually remember discussing this with you in a thread last year too:)

    Oh yea, somewhere warm. Love the feeling of waking up in the heat and getting out early with just shorts and a t shirt and feeling the sun beating down. I WILL live somewhere hot! I have to!

    Go for it bud!!! Its my plan 2, have done a few times in the past and its ace! For now though I take pretty much all my holidays in one go in dec/jan and head south. Highly recommend it! It's so good to get away from this ****e weather and darkness for a while. I live in scotland btw so think darker and colder than ireland!!!
