When the sun comes out Irish people become confused little creatures wondering where they put their sun screen from two years ago and what the can wear that can possibly bare enough of their pasty skin to the world.
1) Say things like "I'm going to get a great colour"
What colour is that friend? Burgundy? Scarlet ?
2) Build Shitty Homemade Pools
Although good luck with that once water charges come in- You might as well fly to Spain for the same price as a 500 litre filled tub.

6) Chase The Ice Cream Man Whose Prices Have Risen With Every Degree
Remember when a 99 cone used to cost 99c and not €2. Yep me neither.

Ahh pier jumping - nothing says summer like hurling yourself into a dodgy harbour.
10) Huff and Puff loudly every 5-6 minutes and repeat the words "it's soooo hot"
Kind of a temperature version of a human alarm clock. Christ its hot. So hot. Jaysus nearly 22 degrees etc.
