Hi. It's me, BAMABAMBAmabaaam. I was just wondering if there was anyone there from the UK, and, if so, how bad the weather is. Here it is FREEEZING and I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed. Why am I still wearing just a T-shirt?? (plus underwear, jeans and socks etc., you manic maniac!)

There are very many people here from the UK. And the weather isn't bad. Bad is rain. Bad is very strong wind. Cold isn't bad. Cold with clear skies is beautiful.

Not if it's minus 13 it isn't...

-13 really isn't bad. Cold isn't bad. Just wet and windy.

And, ok, maybe cold with clear skies...a nice winter anticyclone, with a bit of frost about, and an early morning mist....isn't beautiful for you, but where I live it most definitely is.

yeah live in Southampton and its fucking cold right now. was in Stroud on saturday though and it was down to minus 4 and i was standing out there in it for 8 sodding hours... that was cold... this is lovely by comparison now :p

We're all in the same boat here buddy - every morning when I go to college I almost freeze my face off cycling to the station. Yes its cold here, and clear. That doesn't make it good :p Good is snow, rain or sun. Not this in betweeny nonsense lol. Dammit - in for a penny in for a pund eh?

There are loads of us from the UK. [subliminal message]Move to the NS region of England.[/subliminal message] I tend to like weather most people regard as bad - I can't cope with hot weather we have during summer (sometimes).

yes, i live in stoke and lets just say... it's very foggy... the only place i've seen worse fog is in the isle of man, and that was extreme fog where you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face.

I live in Great Britain, and yes its cold enough to freeze the balls off a hob hound (+Points to anyone who gets that reference)

Nevermind eh? Chin up, stiff upper lip, new pair of long johns.....

*waves hand*

It is damn cold. Especially when you have a stupid school who has decided you're not allowed indoors at lunch or break unless it rains. - 0 degrees is fine though.... :rolleyes:

Are you kidding? I'd die.

Really? When I was trekking at altitude in the Andes it was near -30 at night. We were sleeping in tents, and our water bottles (inside the tents) froze solid overnight. So did the porridge we'd made to heat in the morning.

Cold is awesome. The Met. office says it's going to snow this week. Though probably less likely as far inland as Cambridgeshire...

Well, during summer here, days up to 40 degrees are common, and a cold winters day is usually not less than 10 degrees.

heh my school did that... stupid school

:fluffle: to warm you up ;)

heh reminds me of dartmoor (not as bad though)... the stream that managed to find its way into our tent overnight froze solid and i remember having to beat the outside of the tent to get the frozen dew off... not fun. especially worse when you only had one dry sleeping bag between three of you :eek:

-13 Degrees Celcius isn't that bad. It was around -10 Celsius the other day here in Minnesota. I'm waiting for it to get to below zero in Ferinheight. It gets down to -20 Ferinheight easily during the winter here in Minnesota.


Think of it this way. It can get down to -31.67 degrees Celsius easily during the day here in Minnesota. Now that is damn cold...

You went trekking in the Andes? Sweet! That must have been an absolutely incredible experience - what was it like? D'you have any pics you'd be willing to share?

I myself am quite an enthusiastic mountaineer - I've done a bit in New Zealand (lol, we went up one mountain since that was all we had time for, I'd love to go back and do more though), some in Austria/France sort of region, and a bit in Scotland. Every year me and my family go to the Lake District for two weeks, and I've got to admit, even after 16 years (since I was born I was climbing lol - my first unaided mountain was Helvelyn :D) it's still fantastical.

Oh and btw, when we go to the Lakes, it rains. A lot. All the time. The best we've had is a flash flood in Wasdale and a hailstorm halfway up Dove Crag I think it was. In mid summer. I love it :D It's brilliant.

I think miserable and bad pretty much sums up this country. Currently in Billericay, Essex it's 3 degrees, wet, very densely foggy and dark.

I'm 16 and already fed up to the back teeth of it all. (Weather, life, self, everything)

Come to think of it, at the next poll (we're due another one) about 'left and right', I should put cynicism as my ideology...

Argh! I, as a Scot now living in merrie England, hate it when people imply that England and UK are synomous! I've had enough "highly amusing" jokes about Scotland to drive even the queen into the arms of the SNP. Bah...humbug...

heh my school did that... stupid school

:fluffle: to warm you up ;)

I'll just blame any bad grades/behaviour/attitude on their neglect of my wellbeing....

:fluffle: :D

Hehe, that happened to my parents. Or something like that. I think they somehow managed to set up their tent in the middle of a stream.... but they didn't know it was a stream :confused: it must have rained in the night or something....

i'm in leeds and its fucking GRIM!

Meant to be arctic winds blowing down from thurs aswell... so it'll get worse!

its supposed to be a Russian winter in England this year I'd hate to be German:D

its actually not cold it just looks cold trust me on this I spent about 9 days playing rugby at night (yes I am off the “sure for men” advert *smashes mirror to get deodorant*)

Dumbass. There's a perfectly reasonable way of getting the deodorant out the mirrored cabinet and you go and do that ludicrous method. Tsk.

*reaches for hammer*

This is how it's done...

I am from the north-east, it is terrible weather here today, especcially when the stupid Geography freak of a teacher made us go to the beach for a trip!

Another resident of Merry England here, it has been cold today and a bit misty.

Sadly no rain though, i like rain.

I live in Germany which has seen a cold, sunny, nice day today.
I don't wanna talk about tomorrow (freezing, snow, probably no sun).

Why do you think the British started the huge Empire? To get nice hot weather..(indochina, india etc...)

Last German attempt was Poland...WAY off!!!

Nowadays The Brits are enjoying Iraqi SunShine

they love the idea of the Brit empire but anyone else doing such a thing is evil
