    I woke up early dis morning and couldnt sleep so i went for a walk. All the light from the sun was cutting through the streets and there was kind of a mist in the air. The leaves on the trees were brown and the branchs were black. The air was really cold and i could see that nature was shutting down for the winter, everything was dying but it was really beautiful in a weird way. winter is depressing and beautiful at the same time. Makes me want to drink and be merry as we all go towards are inevitable deaths!

    I went for a walk yesterday and loved it. Seeing the leaves on the trees turn brown, the crisp air. Autumn's my favourite season of the year. I can take or leave summer to be honest because it rarely gets that warm and the weather in the summer is never guaranteed. I love this time of year for the scenery and weather wise. :cool:

    Brace yourself.

    Winters coming.

    OP, nature does NOT switch off for the winter - in fact nature is at it's best in the winter. You should look for the beauty of Winter instead of the more negative points. How fab is it to wake up early on a frosty morning, get bundled up and go for a long walk in the crisp air. How fab is it to watch the hail rain pouring down on top of you only to get home and warm up by an open fire.

    Winter is beautiful - you just have to open your eyes.

    Autumn is half sh1t and winter is complete sh1t, both cured by hibernation or emigration.

    The only upside as far as I'm concerned is that the extra hours of darkness mean that I don't see as much of my inbred moaning obnoxious fuckwit neighbours.

    "Winter is coming" - Dexter Morgan from 'Breaking Bad'

    I just hate the neighbours, and when I'm away from them I can quite often be seen cartwheeling along the street wearing nothing but a clown nose and laughing my feckin head off.

    Oh crap, another dose of Christmas movies repeated for the last 30-40 years just around the corner...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,810 ✭✭✭Calibos


    I'm sure I'm probably the first person to think of this. This'll get the plaudits and thanks for its originality. I don't even need to check if anyone else has said it before me. I am confident in my own sharp wit and that I've beaten everybody to the punch line. Without further ado......

    Brace Yourselves, Winter is Coming!!

    My work here is done!

    I hate winter. I would love all year round sun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    I love winter. I love spending Christmas chilled out and reading, catching up with people who are otherwise busy as hell, going shooting, getting the dogs out in whatever snow we get. Not much beats taking a break in a long hike, sit down and have a cup of tea or coffee and a sandwich or bar of chocolate at the top of a deep, snowy valley when the air is still and cold and you can hear everything for miles around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,673 ✭✭✭AllGunsBlazing


    Sure it's basically winter all year round in this fecking country.

    Yeah sure, winter-weather (as in the stereotypical frosty, crisp, misty winter day) is beautiful. Its the perpetual drizzly piss and wind that sucks ass!

    Its like saying that summer (in an Irish sense) is beautiful. Yeah, it is on certain days, but more often than not...well, see the aforementioned drizzly piss and wind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,133 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Sure it's basically winter all year round in this fecking country.

    At least the pissing down rain is warmer in the summer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    the evergreen trees are doing there best to take over winter, enjoy it now because soon the leaves will stop falling, oooooooo and the dead bit to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,153 ✭✭✭Rented Mule


    Apparently OP, It's not winter yet, but it is coming.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,357 ✭✭✭✭Birneybau


    When winter arrives, it will have come.

    Let the bracing commence.

    However, the Stark reality is that the Winter has not yet come.
