[Misc] What exactly is a solly March?

[Swansman]

March hasn't been a great month for quite a few years but I'm really thinking this will be a solly one. But what does it even mean?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Unexpected goals and points. I hope.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

it‘ll be glorious, as I knew it always would be.

It used to be the lukewarm month where we looked forward to things hotting up. It never quite lived up to it's billing in some people's minds.
Thanks to the change of climate It seems it's getting hotter already this year.

March 2011 was the Solliest of all. 8 wins out of 8.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Long, cold, dark winters.
And apparently the alternative is watching handball.

True. Even Solly March day is going to be 13 days earlier this year.

It’s a British word combining ‘sol’ or sun and brolly, a colloquial term for umbrella. It indicates a March that will alternate equally between sunshine and rain.

I was always given to understand the alternative was tantric sex with a willing nubile blonde, followed by herring.

I'll be sure to have a word with my mate at Stereotypes R Us.

I've just been enjoying the 'Favourite Sussex churches' thread, only to stumble on this.

Which one's Swanny? Or doesn't it really matter?

You can't have tantric sex with a herring.
Trust me on this.

It sounds like you speak from experience…

March is one of my favourite months (well it’s in the top ten at least) Winter ending, Drinking season starting, The wife and boy’s birthday, the start of the flat season and the best time of year to buy a bucket.

Lay off the weed, lad.
