Re: Longest day of the year!
 

So all this time you've been a closet Druid ? :D Or even more scary Welsh ! :eek:

Never mind though, you ain't the only foreigner if this is to be believed. ;)

Midsummer always brings back memories of my 'longest day'.
It was 22nd June 1965, when I was in (childbirth) labour from dawn til dusk.

Well, technically, it's the longest day on 30th October - It's 25 hours because the clocks go back. ;)

Re: Longest day of the year!
 

As an amateur ancient history enthusiast, I can confidently report that Stonehenge predates the celtic druidic cult.
They have 'adopted' it as 'theirs', but it is really prehistory that belongs to all of us.

You don't need to go to Scandinavia, to experience the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Even in Scotland at this time of year, it never really goes dark.

You can still see light from the sun setting in the west, whilst at the same time the dawn's already breaking in the east.

It's weird, coming out of a boozer in the Highlands at 2am, and it still being light.

Ying and yang though.

In December it's light for about forty three minutes.

It's no wonder there's so many alcoholics, and suicide cases in Sweden.

It could also explain the Krankies.

Quote; It could also explain the Krankies.

Were they Swedish?:confused::confused:

Re: Longest day of the year!
 

I didn't know you could explain the Krankies anyway Beni:D

Re: Longest day of the year!
 

Pished as a newt?

Feel like jacking it all in?

Or perhaps just a bit sluggish, through not getting enough natural daylight?

I believe the Krankies are Scottish.

You've obviously never grown, and forced rhubarb.

Re: Longest day of the year!

Re: Longest day of the year!
 

25 foot would only make a kilt for a wee bairn, such as Jimmy Krankie.

Re: Longest day of the year!
