[Misc] November possibly the worst month of the year.

[father_and_son]

November, but because of the faux excitement of christmas crap appearing in shops far too early, the "John Lewis Christmas Advert" and all that bollox.

As others say, its cold and dark but my real dislike stems from the disgusting commercialism trying to drag a couple of days worth of family together time into a multi-month spending spree.

John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Aldi et al. can all shove their christmas adverts up their head of marketing's arse.

November has the prospect of the build-up to Christmas
February has the imminent prospect of Spring creeping through

January is awful. No redeeming features whatsoever other than the FA Cup 3rd Round.

A very good point. When does the 3rd round draw take place?

A very good point. When does the 3rd round draw take place?

Presumably some point over the back end of the 2nd round weekend which is 3-6 December

 

[Sid in the Sharknado]

June, the dullest of all. NSC full of rubbish transfer speculation, cricket not yet at its meaningful stage, no more rugby.

... never mind.

I didn't mind this November until yesterday eve, when i felt a scratch when putting a t-shirt on. 10 seconds passed, with me quizzing my child as to whether there was something on my side, and then i heard the buzzing assailant. A damnable wasp, and a big old queenly one at that. The next 10 minutes were of me demanding silence from Meade Jr, as he hid behind a couch, whilst i went swat-crazy with a rolled children's magazine - i think Elsa's regal head was the point in the page that ended up thwacking the wasp unconscious to the ground. A quick grab of the woozy fiend with toilet paper and a tossing over the balcony, with the paper still attached.
I'd like to think it gave Meade Jr an idea of the lengths i would go to to protect him, but the shrieks and yelps i let out whilst swiping at this just-woken buzzer 20 times or more probably didn't macho me up hugely. Next time i'll strangle a fox.
January, though, is just a cold and heartless month.

Re November and a redeeming feature. Leaves on the ground. I am in my forties and still love walking along a path kicking piles of leaves that are on the ground. It looks a bit odd when I do it on my own as an adult so I am sure to drag the kids out for walks at this time of year.

November? Lovely! Crimbo on the way!

It's February for me. Cold, dark, shitty, the fish-ghost strands of wrapping paper of Christmas around the bins the only reminder of past jollity. No sign of Spring. And no wins in the EPL for the Albion.

February all month long. There is a reason the Romans decided to make it the shortest and that's because it is the shittest.

Maybe, but what else did they ever do for us?

 

[BNthree]

February is easily the worst month in the UK.

 

[Stato]

Hate February, but at least it has a redeeming feature being generally only 28 days long, January 31 days of cold misery January can just f**k right off.

And February's one of the two months when you don't get charged Council Tax. I'm not keen on July. Unless its a World Cup year, the football's finished. If it is a World Cup year, we're usually out by the end of June. Two weeks of Wimbledon ruining the TV schedules, wasps reappearing, no Bank Holidays, flying ant day. Okay the last bit might be school holidays, but its really just a poor August tribute band.

 

[Simster]

January just about worse than February for me. It's dark, the weather is shit, Christmas is gone and nobody has any money to do anything. February isn't much different but at least with February the days start to get longer.

November is alright.

 

[studio150]

November is possibly the worst month of the year, the clocks go back,

What when did I miss this double falling back, always the last Sunday in October and now the clocks go back in November, no wonder I've been turning up far too early events.

 

[m@goo]

Chose January but it's also February as I despise winter. If I could afford it I would live somewhere warmer in winter.

 

[pb21]

The last few weeks of winter are the worst, so January or February for me.

 

[banjo]

January for me. Although January 2024 I’ll be semi retiring

January brings the snow, Makes your feet and fingers glow.

February's ice and sleet, Freeze the toes right off your feet.

Welcome, March, with wint'ry wind, Would thou weren't not so unkind.

April brings the sweet spring showers, On and on for hours and hours.

Farmers fear unkindly May, Frost by night and hail by day.

June just rains and never stops, Thirty days and spoils the crops.

In July the sun is hot, Is it shining? No it's not!

August, cold and dank and wet, Brings more rain than any yet.

Bleak September's mist and mud, Is enough to chill the blood.

Then October adds a gale, Wind and slush and rain and hail.

Dark November brings the fog, Should not do it to a dog.

Freezing wet December, then... Both: Bloody January again!

"I hope that has been useful to those of you planning your holidays!"
"Spring? Missed it last year, I was in the bathroom ."

Flanders and Swan! Fantastic stuff.

 

[DavidRyder]

January: No money, it's cold, there's a post-Christmas hangover (not literally), it's too early in the year to think about taking holiday.

 

[stewart12]

It's definitely up there. No bank holidays, weather is shit (mostly just dark and wet) and it's absolutely ages until it'll be warm again

 

[Swansman]

November, December, January and February are all awful, sometimes March as well. December is ok as there is a bit of stuff going on but the rest of them... just very slow and painful.
