Lads im looking at the weather forecast all week and this bloody mini heatwave they were predicting certainly hasn't materialised down here in Cork. Dull overcast days all week, the missus is up home in KK for the last few days and she says the sun is splitting the stones up there, Hows it in the rest of the country?

Lovely sunny day up here in Dublin today and yesterday but I was talking to one of the lads sat in a van in Limerick an hour ago and he said it was raining.

After the way the Courts dealt with the rioters last year somehow I dont think there will be any this year.

Fuxake lads, it's 12c/54f in Cork, it's 18c/64f in Dublin, and it's 24c/75f in London.

That is not scorching by ANY stretch of the imagination.

Contentment
Robert Service

An Ancient gaffer once I knew,
Who puffed a pipe and tossed a tankard;
He claimed a hundred years or two,
And for a dozen more he hankered;
So o’er a pint I asked how he
Had kept his timbers tight together;
He grinned and answered: “It maun be
Because I likes all kinds o’ weather.

“Fore every morn when I get up
I lights my clay pipe wi’ a cinder,
And as me mug o’ tea I sup
I looks from out the cottage winder;
And if it’s shade or if it’s shine
Or wind or snow befit to freeze me,
I always say: ‘Well, now that’s fine . . .
It’s just the sorto’ day to please me.’

“For I have found it wise in life
To take the luck the way it’s coming;
A wake, a worry or a wife -
Just carry on and keep a-humming.
And so I lights me pipe o’ clay,
And through the morn on blizzard borders,
I chuckle in me guts and say:
‘It’s just the day the doctor orders.’”

A mighty good philosophy
Thought I, and leads to longer living,
To make the best of things that be,
And take the weather of God’s giving;
So though the sky be ashen grey,
And winds be edged and sleet be slanting,
Heap faggots on the fire and say:
“It’s just the kind of day I’m wanting.”

You and your fancy continental notions. Anything over 18c is considered a scorcher here. Over 21c and beaches are jammed and the papers print standard photo of smallies eating ice cream cones. Over 24c and RTE send crew to the Forty Foot to film bathers splashing around.
Once or twice in a decade, the temperature hits 30c and the country crumbles to a sweltering halt and people complain about this -in' heat, wondering will it ever end...which it invariably does, after about two days.

After suffering through 40 odd degrees in Sydney last year, I wouldn't take it at all.

25 - 30 degrees is perfect, more than comfortable...

Don't know what your missus is up to but she sure as hell isn't in KK the last few days.

Dull, overcast and cold here since Sunday...

He is. And then that other Top-a-d'mornin-tooo-ya backslapper will be on to wade in with some Mursheen-Durkan-Cats-Meeow-Paddys-Green-Shamrock-Shore-Lanigans-Ball-Shur-You'll-Have-A-Drink-I-Won't-Ah-Go-On-No-Hah?-Ok-So type of I'm-more-Irish-than-you-so-I-am paddywhackery.

Oh Jesus let it be Sunday above in Thurlas already! The irony of it all.

Heat wave me arse.
