****ing hell. The price of those. Think i'll stick with a Tesco carrier bag. Actually summertime. Cons. ****s mincing around with a man bag, fanny pack. Whatever you wanna call them. They should be fed to pigs.
Cons - despite having a wardrobe the size of an ocean going liner the wife declares she has no summer clothes and you end up missing most of the good weather being dragged round the shops while she single handedly props the Chinese sweat shop economy Pros - after quick rummage around the two drawers you have been allocated you find some great tee-shirts and shorts you forgot you had and you get yourself out in to the sun looking the business Cons - yet again I forget I'm ginger and end up burnt to buggery and have to go back indoors and cover up
Pro's - mature women dressed in skimpy clothes. Watching the mother's & grannies do the school run in the warm weather is a treat while I'm drinking my real ale. There's all sorts go's through my mind. Cons - it's nee fun to graft in.
The best thing about summer for me is preparing to get in shape, making extra effort so I can look the **** with my summer clobber on, few ciders in a beer garden, footy, day out on a boat or something. Every day is a scorcher and this city turns into party central. The worst thing is realising that none of the above will happen because I'm looking like a fat mess and it's just a 24/7 pissing down misery, living in Manchester.
It's been alright the past couple of days, was nice over the weekend as well apparently but I was away, in the IOM, where it was pissing down relentlessly
The couple that run our local shop are Punjabi Sikhs. She's always on about how unreliable the British weather is. There's times it pisses down in the Punjab but they know when it's coming.
Thank **** it's turning into winter down here for us! You can keep the bloody sun haha. So over 40 plus days, sweating from the eyeballs, and paying huge amounts on my lecky bill for the air conditioning! 4 degrees here the other night was excellent!
Yeah, they will see clouds in the sky! When we see clouds in our sky, it's just another day here, it might rain, it might not, it probably will. Folk will laugh at you for having a convertible that you can only use 3 days per year, even then when you get a good speed up you still have to put the heaters on as the wind's a bit cold. Everything is always forgiven though, when the clouds part and we get that one day where we can go outside and mow our lawn and have a beer on the decking, that you paid £5,000 to have installed.
Apart from the decking bit that was exactly me yesterday. My little lad was sick overnight as I think he got sunstroke. We were like get outside whilst the suns out. oops.
Midges Spoke to the chaps and they reckon Avon "skin so soft" original JoJoba dry oil spray is the dogs bollocks for keeping the midges away. No joke btw sounds a bit camp but they say its like a smart bomb for midges
I don't even want to tell you poor buggers what summer is like in California. Oh! the women. The bbq's...we do them every week. What else???...can't think of much more, because the rest of the time we're stuck in traffic. Did I mention the women?
