Between October and April, it is usually about 40-60 for a low, and 50-80 for a high. I'll pass on the 'seasons' because it was 75 today; I'm fine with that.

I for one don't relate to Fahrenheit anymore. I was reading that and thinking Jeez that's hot!
It was a very pleasant 17 in Athlone today.

Too bad about the White Sox last year. SO close. But, hey, don't you have Clemens now? I bought a NY Yankees #22 Clemens Jersey knowing full well he wasn't ever gonna play a single day with them. So it's kind of a neat little curio. I also have a White Sox jersey. What # is Clemens?
WYK

Clemens ?? LOL I thought he was doing time in some Texas prison for perjury. lol

Well, the White Sox had a spectaculor year last season. We made it into the playoffs with a team that no one expected to even compete for the division.

Let us also remember that we did with it all in 2005. That may seem like a long time ago, but when you consider that it was 1908 for the team across town, it gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Has a Texas team ever won a World Series ? I know we clinched ours in Houston, but I can't recall any of the teams ever winning won.

Some people in the States would consider it hot.

Try 4-15 for lows and 10 - 21 for typical winter and spring highs. Those temps can manifest themselves any time of the year except the middle of summer. In summer, a typical day can be 35C. We have fish here that can survive in water temperature to 42C! Though we rarely see that as air temperature. That would be more West Texas.

75F is 24*C. 3 days ago it was 16C for a high, one day last week it was 31C, which is hot for this time of year. The weather has been a bit random lately.

CCCP^

I say "Pretty Cool", "Check it Out" and "Man". However I dilute that with liberal usage of "Ah Jaysus" and "**** Sake" and also "Ah ya Muppet!"

Also "Story Bud?!?" G'wan.

I do the exact same thing......only the other way around. lol

I have to say the most annoying thing is being called a yank, if youre an american.

I am from the south, yanks are from the north.

Its the same as generalising and calling everyone in Ireland boggers, culchies, tinkers or knackers.

Mr.Lizard

Shut up yank.

I have an American accent from watching too much television as a child, but it's better than the knacker accent everyone else in my area has. Also converse are cool and very comfortable, get with the times.

What! Converse are so not fashionable and ugh... the state of them!
I really annoys me when people copy american fashion. It just gives them more reason to think they are the rulers of earth when we copy what they do. Wear some wellies, not converse!

Im just joking, but I would prefer if we created our own distinct fashion

Does it annoy you when some Irish people particularily teens copy american culture. A lad in my school saying "dumpster" and wearing those sick out of date converse shoes. Are they just embarresed about their culture or what?
Especially when they call the Gardaí "cops". Jesus come on. Saying things like " Check it out " or "Pretty" eg : thats pretty cool.
:mad:
Any thoughts?

It's just culture leaking around the place. We use more Irish slang compared to American, Some of theirs, a small enough amount has crept into our language

And those shoes aren't out of date or sick, they're converse. They're a classic timeless style

Like what the youth of Ireland are wearing now?

Tracksuits in either grey or white, the pants of which are tucked into their socks, , white runners, baseball hat, usually white or other light colour tipped at the trademark 45 degree angle?

No thanks!

It annoys me that Irish people now have a globally accessible forum to show the world just how easily annoyed (and bigoted, and racist, and stupid) they are.

Well it annoys me how people try to search the web for the Irish!
You just wanna be Irish:pac::pac::pac:

I hate excessive use of British slang more.

Innit.
