The evenings

Ristiano Conaldo

They're bet lads. The depressing Irish Winter begins.

I love the dark evenings/mornings. I love christmas, I love snow and ice.....however I hate constantly being freezing in my house, and when I go outside. I dont mind a bit of cold but I just wish it wasnt so errr "painful"?.

I wish we got boiling hot summers, and freezing snowy winters. Then Id be happy

I forgot how much colder it gets!

Well at the end of the day, there has to be evenings.

I don't care about the cold or the rain, in fact I absolutely love it, the harder it falls the better.

I just hate getting up in the morning when it's dark out.

No, that's called the night.

And yes, I'm aware someone is going to give me a smart answer because of my smart one.:pac:

I don't mind the winter that much, though it means it can be pretty dangerous where I live. The roads near my house are hilly and are left untreated. Also, my water gets cut off

I blame the imminent autumnal equinox.

Anyone think we'll have another Winter 2010 i.e snow and lots of it?

You're going to be devastated when it actually gets cold so.

Enjoy those baths while you can, when this water charge comes in you'll be washing yourself in a basin!

I'm sure there are boardsies on the weather forum stocking up on lube and Kleenex in anticipation of snow.

The evenings are getting colder alright, in fact I think I'm gonna bring a wooly hat to football tonight

Oddly enough, this time of year feels colder than it used to...

I do like the weather, but waiting for a lift in the cold is annoying!

I can't wait for Halloween and Christmas... And for it to get dark really early!

Exactly my thoughts last week when I saw a woman out gardening with a coat and furry hat.

Now that I'm living in Dublin breathing in smog and the fumes from teaspoons of heroin on the streets I really miss going home from school as a young lad and lighting up the nice turf fire and lying down in front of it of a winters evening.

I am some culchie.

When you say 'lying down' in front of the turf fire , does this mean you have no furniture in hovel house ?

No house just lying down in the bog.

This is a colder than "normal" September - the Ice Age Cometh ........:eek:

It is indeed. I was chilly in my t-shirt at work today. Might wear a light pullover tomorrow. FFS, it's hardly the antarctic. Women in my gaff are all moaning about the cold, no idea why they don't just make the sammitches faster to keep warm.

admiralofthefleet

i think i have SADS i hate the cold weather and the dark evenings

blacklilly

I love the cold crisp mornings, when you walk out the door its like you've stuck your head in a bucket of ice, really helps wake you up.

Women are always cold, it's crazy!

My mothers workplace has all women, the heat is on most of the year. The ice caps melting is solely down to wimmen!

Put on a bloody jumper!!!!!

Indeed. Sadly, sticking my head in a bucket of ice is somthing I'd do as a form of torture rather than a pleasure. I'd rather stick my head in a bucket of cool Coors, given the choice. I like the summer. It's summeryer.

I thought so too. I was fairly sure it was an old one though. It has a summery ring to it. Downside of winter is the ashes, and the "get some coal". I hate "getting coal" and I hate feckin ashes. I dream of the Canaries - permawarm. lovely. Probably wear thin as well though.

blacklilly

That's the only advantage of living with a man, he gets the coal and cleans out the ashes, plus you only have to do it for less than half a year! We have to make sandwiches all year round

Big disagree with you there, OH went to bed the other night and asked when was the electric blanket and winter duvet going on the bed!!!

I was just after opening both windows in bedroom, HE has started wearing these sports body warmer tops under his shirt going to work last week.

If he puts on the heating before Nov. I'll scream, stove is warm enough. Deep breath rant over......

SusieBlue

I'm looking forward to the dark evenings. I think this Summer completely dragged and went on forever so I'm looking forward to Christmas and the cold weather

I can only assume you are actually married to a women?!

If not straight to the solicitors tomorrow for divorce papers!

:P

--LOS--

well that was a depressing opening post

I really feel sorry for my OH when it gets to this time of the year coz summer los is lovely and warm although she can't hold your hand because of this, winter los is a permanent ice-cube, she will cling to you for warmth 24/7 and freeze you in the process, you may mistake this for affection.

Hmmm, food for thought he is a great chef though, decisions decisions.....

I generally prefer winter to summer but when some days work out that I don't see any natural light whatsoever it can feel a little bleak.

Fromthetrees

I just hate the cost of the heating in winter, my ****ing electricity bill doubles in the the ****ing winter, I hate the cold mornings too, other than that the weather doesn't really bother me.

I love a crisp cold day. Hot weather makes me irritable.

Positive things about the pending darkness:

You don't have to see the white sky *white sky* (Brick from The Middle)
that we live with and have had all summer (and since Ireland began, circa 1916). The dark eradicates this.

Also when it's dark it's really comforting to get back home and switch your 'mood' lighting on (and no I don't mean for the sex).
I place lamps on the floor, have one with an orange shade outside the bedroom door, really creates a lovely, warming glow
(note to self: must now buy a salt rock lamp).

There really is nothing colder than...the cold light of day.
Winter: BRING IT ON!

I hope so. '09 was as cold as '10 and both were nice.
