chrisp65 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 March has the start of Spring. It has daylight when you wake up in the morning, with light for the journey to work. A light frost on the grass of an early morning weekend walk. St David's day Welsh cakes. Bank holidays. Lent. Easter eggs. Get togethers to celebrate Easter week. The sun has heat in it on a good day for the first time since September. Frog spawn in the pond and buds on my plum tree. The allotment looks like it might be salvageable. The first stumbling cut of the lawn. The smell of cut grass. The smell of an evening garden fire somewhere in the distance. Actual lingering sunsets, not just suddenly dark at 4:45pm. Things might just be getting better... On the downside, Aston Villa do traditionally find March quite a tricky month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 March is like being born again, all optimism. October - March can **** off as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted March 21, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted March 21, 2016 September is my vote for the worst month. Horrible back to school memories, subsequent school traffic returns, the summery days (if we had any) tail off, any early season hopes are dashed. Can't think of many positive things that happen during it. November isn't great, but we tend to have a trip away then to deliberately break up that rubbish month so these days I rather look forward to it.

Spoiler THESE 10 GENUINE FACTS ABOUT SHIGERU MIYAMOTO ARE SO BORING THAT NOT EVEN THESE KIDS CAN STAY AWAKE 21/3/2016 3 Comments Shigeru Miyamoto is a living legend. From Donkey Kong, to Mario, to Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox, Pilotwings, Pikmin, Wii Sports, and countless more - he's been involved with more of the greatest games of all time than any other creator. But how much do we actually know about the lifelong Nintendo employee? Here are ten facts of such mind-numbing dullness that they have sent ten children into a somnambulistic coma. 10. As a child, Shigeru Miyamoto would put on puppet shows for his friends and family. 9. When he was seven or eight, while walking in the woods behind his house, Miyamoto found a hole in the ground. Returning the next day with a lantern, he discovered that it led to a small cavern. 8. Recalling another childhood incident, Miyamoto once said: "I can still recall the kind of sensation I had when I was in a small river, and I was searching with my hands beneath a rock, and something hit my finger, and I noticed it was a fish." 7. Though Miyamoto's father was an English teacher, his own grasp of English isn't very good. 6. Miyamoto can play both the banjo and guitar. 5. Miyamoto claims that one of his hobbies is guessing the distances between things. He always carries a tape measure with him to see if he guessed correctly. 4. Before Donkey Kong became known as a "platformer", Miyamoto described it as a "running/jumping/climbing" game. 3. Shigeru Miyamoto is married with two children. As of writing, his son is aged 32 and works in advertising, and his daughter is 29. In the past, she studied zoology. 2. Shigeru Miyamoto: he's a brown-haired man. 1. According to Wikipedia, Miyamoto enjoys rearranging furniture in his house, even late at night. digi2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He likes to guess the size of objects and carries a tape measure round to check whether he's correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I went for a walk at lunch and bought a jacket potato with cheese and coleslaw topping. The potatoes skin was a bit too burnt though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
