I know I’ve probably jinxed it but it feels to me like winter’s over. I went out without a coat today for the first time this year. Whilst trundling about the supermarket I even purchased some special BBQ cleaning spray so I can prepare for the cooking of food outside over fire, the best kind of cooking outside over a fire there is.
The real test is whether or not you still need to warm up your thighs with Deep Heat before 5-a-side. That and the amount of time it takes you to convince yourself to get out of the shower.
Of course all the amateur meteorologists are waiting for the one sign which shows that summer has well and truly arrived: a crowd of people drinking outside The Barge.
Its been lovely over in perfidious Albion for the last few days and the daffs are a welcome sight.
Have to admit though that being in London means you escape most of the worst winter weather so can’t complain really.
Still nice though to be able to nip out without putting a coat on.
The first Topless knacker in Stephens Green too..
Really this government should wait till summer to air their dirty laundry. We’d all be out drinking by the canal and wouldn’t care as much.
I fucking hate winter though. I really do. So glad to see the back of this one.
You seem to have connections in Barca- obviously you wouldn’t want to move there just yet (wait ’till next season?) cough, but if you have connections there why are you living in Dublin?
Not being funny or anything but I think if I had any chance of living there I’d take it …
walking down along the dodder trout rising then in for a pint nothing better
I saw my first piece of the grey pavement earlier this week, the first since the beginning of last October. I also saw some soggy, dead grass peep out from under the layers of melting snow just today. Seven months it’s been.
Seven fucking months..
is it near time for stout. i think so’ i am away off and fuck quinn and all the cunts
Got a feeling the bushing season is gonna start tonight.
Metamorphosis – Long pants -> longish shorts – no knees -> knobbly knees – creamy pints – > crispy cider – padre pio pate -> sharp #1 or # nought.
I always know winter’s over when the dog starts shedding hair everywhere in the house. Bitch.
I remember that summer in Dublin and the Liffey as it stank like hell. I do actually remember seeing a shoal of large fish in there,thought they were salmon,turns out they were inedible grey mullet.Does anyone remember “snippin”?
Grey mullet … always used to wonder where those fish speared under the wooden quays in Wexford used to end up.
Hopefully in the Merrion or somewhere flagged as ‘grey snapper’ or something exotics.
You’ll always find grey mullet near sewerage outlets. Yuch.
It’s not summer till i fucking say it is! Alright?
Tit Monday is what you’re after.

giddy and jumping up and down like a hyper-active 4 year-old now that summer IS here, noticed it myself this evening too, yes!

Aye, fantastic… the unable to move, unable to think, beads of sweat rolling down every crack season. Roll on winter.
Yeah, I’m a fat cunt.
Saw a spider earlier today.
I’m still cold.
maggot, was it real, or just on the web?
Did it look a bit like a baby?
Heh Git .
yes fintan i was a good hand at snippin but now i fly fish for trout and i drink to much stout
Disgustingly pleasant day here – would be perfect for the old bent pin and feather chucking.
that fucking garden has me fucked
maggot – the old bent pin and feather chucking.
splain please
I was a plane-spotter when I was a kid…yeah, yeah, yeah.
Planes are cool. Especially seeing a day-glo orange Braniff flying over at 35,000 feet and tuning into the pilot shhoting the shit with shannon.
Anyhow. What the fuck is the prez and his merry-men doing flying in a Tupolev? If I walked out onto the tarmac at an airport and saw that my airline expected me to fly in a tupolev I’d change my ticket. Fly Boeing and/or Airbus you fucking idiots. Even LOT, the Polish airline, retired their Tupolev and Ilyushin aircraft donkeys years ago.
Well OTD, I might be able to match you for drinking stout, but I never mastered the art of fly fishing, I could never get the casting right. I still have the gear I got in Rory`s many, many and I mean MANY moons ago.
Hot temp records broken here dudder day, 90f. Frightening stories of broken air conditioners and overheating cars. Who wudda thunk it…? Pandemonium ensues when you aren’t given weeks of warning here.
garden has me fecked too. after two of the worst summers in living memory and the winter that just wouldnt end it looked like the ground surrounding the attaturk stadium.
splain please
The fishing fly – hook = bent pin , covered by thread and bits of dead animals and birds.
I don’t trust Putin.
Barcelona. Barcelona. Barcelonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Xavi and Messi. Class act.
Maggot, my friend believe it or not, the Dodder is a great place to fish. At least OTD and myself think so, although I don`t knoww him.
So I’ve heard – even has sea trout ?
yes the dodder is a fine river’ but the fishing so far is bad because of the fucking cormorants and maggot fishing ‘ and flyfishing is a art
and fintan try again its a great way to spend time away from cunts
maggot fishing
Barbaric practice. Should be banned.
the scumbags fish with maggots and drink cans of beer ‘all they can say is how is it goin bud. then they fuck the cans in to the river CUNTS I HATE THEM
I just saw these two classless cunts embarras themselves again when referring to their mid-week faux-pas. They mumbled something stupidly between themselves about tea and pink boots in a vague fashion like the slimey shit that they are.

I didn’t know that paul kimmage worked for satan?
Well,” he grins, “David Beckham would never move to Newcastle because of all the trouble caused by the Toon Army in Asia.”
A minute later, the first “outraged” email arrives and he decides to issue an apology. The following morning he receives a phone call from Sky informing him they have terminated his contract. Does it make him bitter? Does it leave a scar? “No,” he says. “I didn’t agree but I fully respect their right to fire me.”
NO champions league for the Pool Rafa must go now Walk away now its a fine Spring evening
Liverpool F.C. is the name of the book Joseph Heller wrote
Benitez – too expensive to fire and too expensive to keep.
And that’s not including the price he paid for Agualari. That price paid showed him and/or the board to be complete and utter financial imbeciles. I bet Roma are still laughing about it
Don’t mind the Pompey result so much as the M City vs Brum score.
man city rock. word is that “the special one” is on his way to city
sad thing is that other teams that are crap just automatically fire manager and get another one and the old Pool are in such a state that they can’t even do that
