Beer, at lunchtime?

I suppose it's your body. You can poison it as much as you like. Nothing to do with anyone else.

Fatso.

It keeps announcing itself and then buggers off. That's three flurries so far and then the sun comes out :-/

No snow in Dublin yet according the wireless earlier we can expect up to 1 metre in places.

That is quite a lot of snow.

Not until Thursday, it isn't.

On Thursday we are going to be buried under about 10 feet of snow :-(

You will have grey and drizzle, as befits your joylessness.

Why are we playing on a Thursday?

Do we not have a match this weekend then.

12 months in a year and 4 seasons. 12 divided by 4 = 3.

Winter: December, January, February.
Spring: March, April, May.
Summer: June, Juy, August.
Autumn: September, October, November.

Simple, see?

The chances of that game being played are about 1 in 100.

Well yes I was of this same understanding as you but recently was told I am wrong and that the actual summer months are May-June-July, something science based related to the amount of sunlight afforded to the Northern Hemisphere in these months.

Don't believe everything you're told, sw.

Was your diodactic chum by any chance an aul' fella stood at the end of a bar, wearing wellies and his trousers held up with baling twine?

No, he was a bicycle thief from Limerick.

He was actually a teacher.

May is often the most summery month in terms of warmth, sunshine, and lack of rain.
Sometimes September is summery, while at least one or two of June July August are disappoint.

What's the wind like? Seems more important than the actual temperature sometimes for how cold it feels.

There isn't any. And it makes a massive difference. Although it can be deceptive - went out yesterday without gloves on. It was only when massive pain shot through my fingers that I realised it was ****ing cold

As I said last week, Manchester will get a dusting at most. Almost made it back from London with no issues
