    February is every bit as bad, you can almost smell the Cheltenham Festival and despite it being the shortest month it really drags on :(

    He either plays in the wind section of an orchestra or drives in heavy traffic in the mornings.

    January is grand. Mornings and evenings are getting noticeably longer and December/christmas is as far away as possible.

    No need for a freezer when I try a shot in your one.

    Nature is slowed down for winter, the days short, the weather not great. January is the worst month, at least February is a shorter month.
    April is the best month, the clocks a few days earlier have changed, longer days, better weather and the summer to look forward to.

    Weather still sh-t though, and it's not *that* much brighter.

    Dreary month overall.

    This January has not been to bad at all. The unseasonal mildness has been a big plus.

    I think January is unfairly maligned: I love how low-key it is and, as a movie fan, it's the time of the year when some of the best films you'll be seeing for a good while are coming at you thick and fast.

    Maybe my love for January stems from my hate for December. Just to be clear here - I don't mean hate for Christmas, that tiny couple of days part of December is okay, but all the crap that surrounds it... Ugghh.

    I'm talking about that feeling of barely together hysteria that lingers over the whole month. You know the BUY THIS BUY THAT PRESENTS PLANS BUT NO TIME TO THINK OR ANY MONEY!!! kind of disruptive zeitgeist that's in the air. The whole month masquerades as a celebration of the Christmas Spirit, but all I ever feel is the Spirit of Commercial Pressure and, worst of all, I can't really tell the difference between the two! December just makes me think, that despite the existence of Antibiotics and Wi-Fi, modern life is still fairly awful a lot of the time.

    So yeah, January is like a nice comfortable snooze in comparison: I'm all for it. And January is great for plans... even if you don't have plans! If you do want to get something going: no better time than January to start. And if you don't have plans at the start of the year, well then... Good for you! You've obviously got this whole life thing down to a fine art of practised perfection - No better time than January to settle back into that great routine you've got going on!

    I could dock a few marks for the weather, but is there any period of the year where the weather in Ireland is truly brilliant? Plus, I spend a lot of time inside with electrical appliances - Why should I care if it's raining outside?

    Winter a bit erratic this year. Most days are breezy and cold than a heat spike. It messes your us. Hard to adjust.

    @Angus I was just about to post but after reading yours comments I'll just say I totally agree with you.

    November is the month I can't bare. Hype about a festive season that isn't even in that month , heading into winter, evenings getting darker. January means that malarkey is all over and at least you cant start thinking that winter is half over and start hoping for summer even though it's quite a bit to go.

    The constant rain ( I'm in the dreary north west ) and no crisp dry days is seriously getting me down though.
