what the fuck is up with this... its been absolutley pissing it down for days and i'm getting fed up with it - my room is starting to smell funny cos i can't get any fresh air in here (velux windows), they're leaking too, and it got stuffy long ago :mad:

maybe if we complain enough about it the weather pigmys will hear us and blow the rainclouds away :)


though i'd rather have this than a hurricane any day - sometimes boring british weather is a blessing in disguise ;)

Meh, I live in Belfast...rain is the default weather.

Apparently it's got something to do with all the hurricanes in the Gulf shitting on the Gulf Stream.

hmm yeah... i've lived in wales for the last 2 years of my life... now i'm not there i suppose i've gotten used to actually being able to see the sun. should probably stop complaining ;)

its probably the remains of rita coming over or something, too
also this summer we were on the wrong side of some atlantic/continental pressure divide, so we got shitty atlantic weather all summer rather than nice french weather (which is why it was such a shit summer)


hehe reminds me of what some american comedian said once: 'its amazing how much the british can talk about weather. in the states its one thing or another for days or weeks at a time; but its no suprise the british can talk about the weather so much when it seems to change on the hour, every hour, without fail' :P

Its raining in Yorkshire, its not deadly like in a hurricane sense or even a flood, so you can't really complain properly it just sort of makes being out side unpleasant.

Are you sure it's starting to smell funny because of the rain? ;)

We need the rain here, we've had a sequence of about 4 or 5 years with very low rainfall.

Yup, you get used to good weather if it's there for a week or so and then when it rains you've forgotten that you actually don't mind the rain.

Didn't know that abut the pressure divide...fantastic :rolleyes:

Meant to be a pretty bad winter coming, too.

Aye, well that's true. Like they say...in Belfast it doesn't matter if you aren't wearing the right clothes for the weather, give it half an hour and you will be.

I know-I've lost (Drowned) 2 sheep already. it isn't fun having to run out in the pouring rain and quad up to save some sheep you know.

Are you sure it's starting to smell funny because of the rain? ;)


lol well its not the rain that makes the smells, but it sure is the rain thats stopping me from getting rid of said niffs ;)
(wow that sounds kinda gross...)

my god your right, the clouds have broken!

a bit.

Not in Yorkshire they havn't-Lucky B*****

It's been wet in Kent for the last few days, but right now no rain. Incredibly cloudy though :mad:
It was raining yesterday, just when I had to carry a load of incredibly heavy tiles from my car to the tile shop. Trust me, the feeling of your feet getting more and more soaked is defininetely NOT a good thing :rolleyes:

my god your right, the clouds have broken!
see, complaining about the weather does work ;)

(except its clouded over again :()

You must learn to love rain. Stand outside in it for half an hour, and you'll end up loving rain. Or dying of pneumonia.

Try riding on a quad over 3 miles in the pouring rain with no coat-jsut a sweatshirt and jeans coz you had to dash out quickly, getting absoloutly drenched and smeared in mud, then reaching a lake thats formed in on of the feilds and having to wade across to get the sheep to high ground one by one. Then having to fish the dead ones out and carry them home-coz thats what i was doing yesterday.

Well, here the weather just can't make up its mind... it's slashing one minute, the next it's pretending that never happened and is all blue skies and sunshine. That's Ireland for you.

Somebody explained to me the other day that this is the very reason the Irish are so laid back compared to other people.
You see, in ancient times, people told the time by the sun. They looked up and said "Goodness, is that the time? I better go and invent the wheel/build the pyramids/find out how triangles behave geometrically/discover that the earth is round!"
Now, in Ireland, people looked up and said "Weeeerrllll, let's see... there's supposed to be a sun here somewhere, right? ... Ah, forget it. I can't be arsed"

I can't tell what the weather's doing anymore, I've given up. I looked out of the window and thought, "wow, nice sunshine!" Literally three and a half minutes later I looked out, and it was torrential rain. And I mean torrential -- you couldn't even see through it. It then stopped completely a couple of minutes later. It was sunny until I started writing this sentence, it's now gone quite dark.

the apocalypse is nigh i tells ye...:eek:

Rain isn't that bad on its own. It’s just when you have a great big bloody driving wind whacking it into you. Around my area you get that fucking wind on a daily basis.

and i'm sure thats why y'all invented guiness as well, right? :p


And whiskey :p

You'll notice that both start out as water... my theory is that the Irish tried to find a way to make the one thing they had plenty of a little more interesting, so they invented funny ways of flavouring water... ;)

:confused: I haven’t noticed that much rain but then again I haven’t been on holiday for awhile

The lesson is stay in England and it won’t rain;)
