Things I hate about Summer

[numbers]

*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?

And all that on about a dozen or so days every year.

I know!! :)

I will have to start a positive thread for balance!

Don't be so grumpy! Everyone looks happier in the sunshine, and everywhere looks nicer. Beers outside after work. Surf-and-turf on the barbie. Kids playing in the paddling pool. What the hell is borage - and who cares?

Caravans? Must be a Norfolk thing...

I'm going to be grumpy Jeremy!

Surf and turf. Argh kill me now.

[Earl Aelfheah]

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 actually love everything about the summer, you just feel so much better when the sun is out sipping on an ice cold drink but my only negative is BUGS!!! Bees, wasps, flies, huge spider, ants i just cant deal with them.

[Louisa]

People eating and drinking outside pubs in the stuffy polluted petrol stinking air.

Barbecues the size of a house for sale in garden centres no one in their right mind would buy cos it's probably gonna rain for the next 6 weeks.

Shorts.

Louisa.

[Otta]

Journey to work is minging. And kids outside our flat playing football til gone 9. Part of me loves that they're out there, but part of me wants my kids to stay the hell asleep!

[DirtyBox]

People who insist on walking around with no top on, generally a bit porky, and holding a beer

Oh your a bloody ray of sunshine aren't you!

[holloway]

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.

[Otta]

On any other thread fine, but sarcastically calling someone a ray of sunshine on a thread where the whole point is to be negative just comes across as needlessly chasing someone down. You don't want to come across as a bully I presume?

[Baggs]

Rays of effing sunshine

[DulwichFox]

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. :)

[miga]

I tend to get hayfever at its worst round about June.....i hate that.

[Dog duck]

The EDF...

[MrBen]

Bad feet on display. Gnarled toes, dry skin....yuck.

[NewWave]

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.

If you can afford a cellphone and Cigarettes I aint giving you a dime.

[red devil]

Cloudy days...

[TheArtfulDogger]

Amen wearing flip flops

I mean really... The sound of them makes me cringe....

Plus as a dog, they taste bl00dy awful too...
