If by “around the corner” they mean “around the curve of the Earth,” they’re right.

Listen to me my friend, Manchester City fans _never_ give up.
We live with eternal optimism, we dream of the glory days of the late 60s early 70s returning and once again conquering all opposition, of stuffing the red bastards 5-1 and 4-0 again, of winning FA Cups, League cups, League titles and European honours.
We are the most loyal fans in the land and never forget City were the first English team to win domestic and European honours in the same season.
Our day will come, mark my words

I guess I can leave the shorts at home when I head to the UK on Saturday, eh?
Maybe pack a sweater as well, since the highs in Glasgow are around 15 C.

In the UK air-con use is not (particularly) widespread, central heating is…

I know it’s too early to tell, but I believe…
… the weather forecasters …
Oh, man, this is hard to say.
… just _might_ have been right. September has been quite lovely so far.
