the longest day, and officially the first day of summer 2014.

After today the nights will gradually get a little longer, AND on Wednesday it'll be 6 months till Christmas. :D

    So do I. I love the long evenings, where it's just pleasantly cool after a hot day.

    Today is yet another day where you get people who can't do thread titles.

    Put this BIB (*) in the thread title, so I don't have to open the bloody thread to find out what it is about. >:(

    (*) 'the longest day, and officially the first day of summer 2014.'

    I mean, how difficult can it be.

    Today is:
    Sunny.
    A good day to walk the dog.
    A good day for a day out.
    My birthday.
    My wedding anniversary.
    The first day I've stopped smoking.
    The day I lost my virginity.
    The first day I've spent in a new home.
    My first day of work in a new job.

    >:(

    Don't you realise just how petty you sound?

    Yeah probably, but I don't like lazy posters. Say what you mean in the thread title. Maybe, I should start a thread with just the word I, A or The in the thread title.

    Will this still be the case when looking at this thread tomorrow?

    It wouldn't be that difficult at all and I don't know why people cannot manage it.

    All they have to consider is 'will this sound out of date in 24 hours?' - it is not that hard surely!

    It is a bit like the 'breaking news' threads.

    You could argue that Sunday, 26th October, 2014 will be the longest day as that one lasts for 25 hours.

    It'll be no time til we're all huddled in front of our fires with a hot chocolate and the curtains drawn at 7pm.

    Probably, but I think that '21/06/2014 - The Longest Day' would have done the job better than 'Today is'.

    True!

    When I was a kid we always went to Llandudno for the last week of August and I could never understand why it was always pitch black at 8pm!

    Enjoy the next 8 weeks!

    Bring on the darker nights I say.

    Can't stand this Summer nonsense

    Pointless BBQs with people you don't really like or sitting in a beer garden spending vast fortunes :( 😭

    It's not lazy, it's a cheap tactic to get more views so people don't just skip the thread thinking the op spoke the blindingly obvious.

    And in addition, my wife's birthday.
    We'll be larging it in an upmarket restaurant, escargot, steak au poivre, a bottle or two of good white wine, (I don't follow the red wine with steak line), she'll have a good port with her cheese for dessert, I'll have a Calvados, or Armagnac.
    Hailing a taxi, we'll finish off in The Bridge House, Tower Bridge Road, then walk the calories off back to Rotherhithe.

    And standing in the wardrobe lamenting your lack of summer clothes. While the rest of the world runs round town all slim and tanned, I try to choose something that keeps me cool whilst hiding my bottle white legs and less than svelte arms :(
