not long to summer so...
 

not long to summer so lets get it off our chests now and speak up to what annoys us most about summer :D



one thing that i dont like about summer is passing pubs on my way to work and seeing everyone sat outside in the sun sipping on a nice cold beer knowing ive got 8 hours in a sweat box to look forward to

yes its pure jelousy :p

Re: not long to summer so...
 

the thing that annoys me most about summer is its too damn short,maybe2-3 really good weeks and a lot of crap weather,otherwise i love it.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

flies when you walk under trees

them buggers make me itch at the thought of them been in my hair

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Re: not long to summer so...
 

may your beer be warm and flat when you do :p

Re: not long to summer so...
 

The thing that annoys me are the bloody wasps. Bees don't bother me because they only sting when annoyed, wasps are evil gits.

They will be the death of me one day.............if you are ever driving down the main road and some woman runs in the middle of it flapping around like a NOT RIGHT!!!! it's me.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Scrambler motorbikes on the hill at the side of my house disturbing my peace :mad:
The days not lasting long enough.
Getting a clip round the ear hole off my mum for running round the garden like a raving loony everytime a wasp comes near me.
My dog nicking the sausages from the BBQ every time my back is turned!





But sitting in the beer gardens with a lovely cold beer and not having to do 8 hours in a sweat box certainly makes up for the few little minor irritations :D lol!

yeah i unda stand
 

i agree sometimes life can suck but im still just a kid and it sucks to work in the summer

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I agree - I can sit in the garden all day, then I have to get changed to go and see a client.

Very annoying!!!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Big fat men who insist on walking around town without shirts on. Cover it up!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

well what can i say summers far to short thats why i go to majorca march and october for more sun, and definitely the wasps, i got stung on the back of my neck last summer boy did it hurt!!! KILL THEM ALL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Ditto for the larger ladies who insist on wearing cropped tops with hipsters...:s_sick:

Re: not long to summer so...
 

ohh what a big turn off that is pepole who are a size 16 wearing a size 14 or12 HORRIBLE

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I agree, nothing better than sitting on the beach at Magalf with a cold beer.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Ew Fly's,midges,spiders n slugs.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I'm not keen on the flies. wasps etc, but I love summer, wish I could be home in the garden everyday, always feel like a beer when the sun shines, dont like the hot nights or the way the sun shining through the windows shows the dust!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Hay fever......yes and wasps. If it isn't slinky doing the mad 'flappy dance' then it'll be me.

When I was a nurse on night duty, I used to stand on the balcony of the 1968 wing at the Royal infirmary and watch all the revellers going home in the early hours of Sunday morning........I used to feel envious of them.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Oh......I forgot to say.... those big furry buzzard moths that seem to come in the bathroom window and dive bomb you just as you are about to sit down and wee!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Ewwww...I totally agree. Although they always get me when I am in the shower - I hate the darn things!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I got stung on the back of the neck by a wasp last year on the way back from the MotoGP at Donington.

As you may have guessed, the main way of travelling to such an event is on two fast wheels, and when a wasp stings you while you are in control of a 1000cc motorbike, it is a very painful experience.

Lets just say that I managed to stay on the bike, but when I found the cause of my pain, it's life was quickly ended.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I was talking to a friend the other day and he was talking about how summer was on it's way because he had had his first outdoor drink of the year last Sunday, he said it was alright when the sun was out but still a bit cold in the shade.

My friend isn't from Accrington so I told him that if ever he comes here he would be able to meet a really nice crowd of people that could be found 365 days a year sitting on a bench drinking cider outside the Town Hall, I also said if he went up to them I'm sure they would let him have a drink from their cans.

He was surprised, he said they really get around don't they? I see them on a bench outside my town hall!

I told him they must be a different set of drinkers because our councillors won't go anywhere else unless they are on expenses!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

the wasp that got me did not last very long either very painfull and i had to wait about 3 hours to get to a chemist for some spray to ease the pain.

and you stuck on 2 wheels i feel sorry for you!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Dislike - Working 27 days in a row in July without a day off. 16 of them between 10 and 12 hour days in a row.

Like - Getting my wage after the 16 10-12 hour days :D

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Like the majority of folks don't like the wasps, if you get stung miles away from a chemist nip in the nearest pub ask for some ice or even viniger then apply either whilst having a cold beer/lager.

Don't like not been able to sleep at night for the heat (but it's worth it.)

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Agreed about the heat Sara - last year I was able to spend a lot of time in the garden. Hopefully I'll be able to spend even more time if I ever get the wireless network up and running!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Having to start cleaning up after spending a lovely day in the sun.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I have to say that I love summer. I do agree about having to go to work on nights when everyone is enjoying a cold one. The sun starts to come up at about 4am and lulls you into a false sense that your shift is almost finished, when in reality I still have another 4 hours to go. I'm not keen on wasps but after a very malicious and uncalled for stinging a few years ago, I have become very adept at clubbing them to death will a rolled up copy of the Accy Observer:D Hate midges though.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Summer in London is great for about two days - then it gets sticky and airless, and I long to be up in Ossy.

What I REALLY hate is getting a miserable, cold, grey, Summer, not a proper one at all. Having to wear a cardie every day in July/August is miserable. HOT is what we want.

The other thing is midges/gnats/mosquitoes - they ADORE me, I hate them, and have terrible reactions (swellings the size of dinner plates, etc) - I don't like having to cover myself with jungle strength insect repellent just to sit in the garden with a gin! Think I'll start a thread ......

[/QUOTE]

I know what you mean pendy.........it has been like that the last couple of days. I was inside yesterday and thought ''it looks warm outside'' and went and put a t.shirt on but, when I got outside the breeze was quite cold, so I soon went in and put my jumper back on.
The other thing about summer I hate is not being able to keep my doors open as my house soon turns into a hotel for unwanted none paying pests...........yes you guessed it WASPs

Re: not long to summer so...
 

Agree with you Pendy, summer in London is something l don't miss. Yellow skies, emerging from the tube wet through after spending a quarter of an hour in a metal box, with temperatures sometimes being recorded as 130 degrees Centigrade. The people also turn into firey Latinos with everyone arguing on the streets. The only answer was to find a pub with a garden and not go home at the end of the day at all.

Two summers ago when l was living in Glasgow, while you lot enjoyed a great summer in England we had months of rain, and we had sleet in August!

Oh well, l have high expectations of this summer.

Re: not long to summer so...
 

:cool: well/ i just tell them bees & wasps " im not a flower please go away" some how it works:cool:

Re: not long to summer so...
 

:o Owww I wish it was that easy mez! Bees don't bother me to much it's the damn wasps!! I'm sure one spots us and then goes and tells all its mates to come and watch these stupid girls running around like idiots!:do-one:

A little story, last year we were sat in Slinky's back garden enjoying a nice beer and a wasp came over to taunt us so I set off at run and managed to out run it for a change, usually they chase us until we relent and go indoors. A bit of dutch courage from the beer and thinking I was really clever for out running it I did a little kung fu impression in its directiopn and shouted "BRING IT ON" next thing I looked at our little sister and it was on her neck:eek: I said to Slinky very quietly or what i thought was quietly "tell her its on her neck" Too late she heard me swatted at it and it stung her! It was adamant it was having one of us!

Oh well they'll be out in force soon again LET BATTLE COMMENCE :mad8: !!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

l've never been stung or bitten in my life.

Am l bad meat?

Does anyone want to buy any of my blood for a transfusion?

Re: not long to summer so...
 

No me neither but I'll keep running I ain't taking no chances because I know a sting off one of them little ***** is not going to tickle!!

Re: not long to summer so...
 

I have never been stung yet and I terrorise the b***ers when they come in my store.All my staff are scared of them and I fire elastic bands at them while the staff hide in the loo!
