    I remember that summer in Dublin,
    And the Liffey as it stank like hell,
    And young people walking down Grafton Street,
    Everyone looking so well.
    I was singing a song I heard somewhere,
    Called "Rock'n'Roll Never Forget",
    When my humming was smothered by the 46A,
    And the scream of a low flying jet.
    So, I jumped on a bus to Dun Laoghaire,
    Stopping off to pick up my guitar,
    When a drunk on a bus told me how to get rich,
    I was glad we weren't going too far (1980)


    Who here remembers the summer of 1976 ? Bygorra you could fry an egg on a rock if you had an egg...

    The Irish Summer is

    Skangers in day glo coloured Penneys tat, usually with a bizarre shade of orange fake tan

    Scumbags in vests exhibiting their blue homemade/prison tattoos

    Humidity

    Not being able to leave your bedroom window open at night because various neighbours are out partying in their gardens until the early hours of the morning.

    Your skin feeling damp and sticky from the humidity.

    People confusing heat with humidity.

    Lobster coloured idiots who seem to think that sun protection is for wimps.

    Summer to me is:

    1. Footing Turf

    2. Shearing sheep

    3. Making hay

    4. Bringing home the turf

    5. Three football matches every weekend

    Going to the local on every Friday, Saturday night then all day Sunday after mass to talk to the neighbours about the above 1-5.

    In exchange I would be willing to show you around Dr. Quirkeys for 20 minutes?

    Erm

    - Working.
    - Working some more.
    - Seeing on Facebook all the fun people are having at the beach,
    - not being able to drive or take the bus properly, cos all the nobs from the rest of Dublin come here when its sunny cos we have a beach
    - Discussing with other locals '****ing townies'
    - Keeping the blinds closed so I can watch the tv.
    - ****ing flies.
