People complaining about the weather on an island that has long been associated with year-round rain?
Yeah, me too.

What do these assholes think, that just because they have a balcony or like sipping a pint outside Grogan's that the world owes them better weather?
I'm with you. It's ridiculous.

Maybe they should all move to Florida and complain about the humidity.

this has only become a problem since the smoking ban forced smokers to smoke outside

I will have no truck with your logic and reasoned arguments.

I only complain about misuse of rain gear and lack of proper thunderstorms. I miss those. Fuck off to those who use an umbrella when it's barely spitting! What are you going to melt, ffs?

 

[jane]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck. No.

 

[Lili Marlene]

Totally agree. I was walking across a car park the other day and it started to rain. People were running to get indoors as if the Rapture had started and blood was pouring from the sky.

It's just water, people!

 

[Lili Marlene]

my clothes aren't made of water

Yes! And my flying monkeys' wings stop working!

No, seriously though, my hair goes funny-shaped in drizzle and I look like a drowned rat.

I have a completely different attitude to rain now that I have plants growing outdoors.

Rain
There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking. This understanding extends to everything.

 

[rettucs]

I got soaked.

that there rain is wetter than your normal run of the mill wet rain.

 

[I Bleed Black]

Even my socks are wet, and I only walked about 50 yards :-(

 

[Squiggle]

I was going to walk, usually do, but after taking about 20 steps I turned back around and hailed a passing taxi. In just those 20 steps my trousers were soaked up to the knees.

 

[Hector Grey]

i expected to get soaked cycling to work, but that rain wasn't wet at all. weird.

 

[Diddles]

In just those 20 steps my trousers were soaked up to the knees.

I got knee high soakage in the park just now. My jeans keep getting caught in my sandals.

they might as well be dead,
When the rain comes, when the raaain comes.

Raaaaaiyaaiinayyaaaaaan....i don't maaaiind."

True that.


However, I've been in the office for an hour and I'm still f-f-f-freezing and wet.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Had to run a hundred yards during a traffic pause so I could avoid the puddle-ridden stretch of road.

Less than 10 seconds. I must contact Guinness.

At least I got decent use of the umbrella - i.e all the way to work as opposed to the first two minutes and then sunshine

 

[Jill Hives]

I'm dry. Wore a rain coat and boots.

 

[frona]

Come on lads, lets do something useful and find me a cheap flight to get out of here.
