    HI,

    Dunno if this is the right board but does anyone know when the spring equinox is (for Ireland) this year.

    Thanks

    Dyflin, if you weren't so quick to think I was an idiot and not capable of resourcing some basic material..then you'd see that the first link to a lesson on what an equinox is ..which is not what I was asking about..and 2ndly, if you want to tell them they are an idiot, at least have the balls to say it straight out...not under the cover of a link so mods wont catch you.

    Seriously?

    the wiki link details the exact time and day the sun reaches its vernal equinox, the detailed explanation I thought it was worth putting in as you seem to think that Ireland has a "special" equinox time... :confused:

    The second link, meh, maybe a sense of humour is required ;)

    If i wanted to abuse you i would not be sly about it like you.....if you have nothing worthwhile to add to a thread why do you bother to post? op had a genuine question. no need for you to hide your attempt at abuse.

    Abuse? Jeebus. Lack of snow is affecting the humour circuits.

    C'mon guys, first link is an excellent link lets face it. I learnt what a true equinox is, which I thought I knew but didn't.

    Second link, meh.

    Lets behave a little better now eh.

    Close the thread mods before someone throws a bottle.

    For not knowing when the Spring Equinox was of course... and for still not knowing after doing a google search to wikipedia. ;)
