*Moany old git klaxon*



Bugs come into your house. Horrible.


Sticky, stuffy weather.


People wear ghastly sandals.


Travelling is a nightmare. Caravans & trailers on the roads.


Articles on how to get a beach/bikini body in 5 days are rife.


Bbqs. Say no more.


Pimms. If you're going to make it at least have borage, an essential ingredient, the stuff grows everywhere. It's not difficult to obtain.


Music blaring from cars. Shit music.


Festivals.


People ;)


Ah that feels better, any others?

I like the sun, but not a massive fan of the heat. A comfortable 70 degrees with a breeze is about as hot as I need. Kids waking up at 5am every morning is another negative - black out blinds never quite do the trick. People out in gardens keeping kids awake (when they're getting up at 5). Child care over the summer holidays is also massively expensive, difficult to organise and guilt riddling. There you go, I'm grumpy too. :-)

i'm inclined to agree with you entirely numbers but have refrained from saying anything up until now for fear of being labelled grumpy. it's not that i hate summer but i'm definitely not a shorts and t-shirts person, i just love being cozy in a nice jumper while downing a few ales or a guiness (pleural: guineeii??).

i look forward to the onset of autumn...

Thread started by someone other than Louisa with the express intention of having a moan (the clue is in the title).


Various other posters join in said moan.


Louisa posts


Other people post after Louisa's post still moaning.


You quote Louisa's post out of all the others.

Oh dear, Well - pardon me! I'm aware of what the threads about Otta , thanks. .... I'm totally free to quote whoever I like - why shouldnt I pick out Louisas' post ? I'm sure I'm not the only one fed up with her whinging and moaning.

In true Foxy spirit.. I have to say there is very little if anything that I Hate about Summer.


I love Summer.. (It was 43 Deg C. in Turkey and I Loved it.) Bit chilly back here.. at 24 Deg.


I suppose as the thread was about hating summer, my views will be considered Negative.. :)


Did not want to let anyone down..

a bully? no of course not! However, I don't think I'm "chasing anyone down" either. That would imply that I'm deliberately searching for Louisas' posts in order to respond negatively to them, which isnt true - Iv'e better things to do. :)

Oxford street beggars shoving paper cups with coins in in my face whilst having a packet of Marlbororo and a mobile Phone sticking out of their pocket, accosting me on my lunch hour and going to and from work.

      Parcel dumped

      Fireworks

      By HeadNun · Posted

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
