Post by: patman on September 30, 2005, 03:26:46 PM
Lots of dark nights ahead and i can see folks is feelin glum already and getting SAD

so whats yer most positive things on the winter

me

play more poker as its generally wet and miserable outside..and less likely to go on tilt to get out in the sun
love the snow....always build a snowman and always have a snowfight...which the wife wins
love crisp cold days when i can see my breath...as opposed to smelling it ;D

aaaaannnnd the best...spend more time on here being amazed by the mad ecletic mix of nice folks ye meet   :-* :-* :-* :-*

Walking into a freezing house where the heatings been off, turning it on and then sitting by a scoulding radiator warming each part of your body piece by piece.

Oh, and cups of tea tastes loads better when its cold.

Going to work in the dark. Coming home in the dark, and never seeing the sunlight for weeks on end.

I've never though of that before, but it's so true.

One of the things that I most liked about the winter when I was a kid was the fact that the horse racing on the telly finished earlier. Me and my brothers would get annoyed that we couldn't watch the football scores on the TV because my dad wanted to watch the racing from Newmarket, which didn't finish until after 5. In the winter, the TV racing is all done by 3, so we could watch Ceefax whilst my dad was asleep on the sofa.

The silence that descends as snow is falling.  and the silence there is all over this village after the snow has stopped and there isn't much traffic - everything is soooooo  picture postcardy....

Shite Im getting a bit sentimental now, best I go kick up a storm somewhere.......

Sleigh bells ring
are you listening
in the lane
snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
we're happy tonight
walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
as we go along
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say: Are you married?
we'll say: No man
But you can do the job
when you're in town
Later on
we'll conspire
as we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
the plans that we've made
walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
and pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
until the all the kids knock him down
When it snows
ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
the Eskimo way
walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland
walking in a winter wonderland  ~:

I just made that up...not bad huh!!!! >:D
