British Weather SUCKS COCK :x

The bastard rain turned my street into a freaking river nearly :roll: ... and i got pissed on when i went into town today.

We get one day of freaking sunshine, but we get this straight after, as we don't deserve the sun really :cry:

I really hate this country sometimes, but then i realise it is probably the best country to live in, compared with Afghanistan, Ethiopia and the US :P :wink:

unlucky mate, thats what you get for living up north ;)

We've had about a week of gorgeous weather n a lil drizzle today. I don't think its gonna be too sunny for a week or so tho

[topgeartom]

It's all over the place at the moment. Throughout the day even though it's absolutely pissing it down, you find yourself sticking to everything you touch, and wanting to go and lie down in the rain just to cool off. For the past couple of days its been clear and dry here as well, I just hope all the rain finds it's way down to you soft southeners! :wink:

Unlucky :?:

Try abso-bloody-loutely cursed :roll: :wink:

Oh... and the rain is coming towards you as we speak :twisted:

[astonmartinandy]

I only just got back from Singapore, and there's nothing quite like returning to a good 'ol English summer day of rain and wind. Then again, the shite weather is kind of a part of British culture now!

[Jabba]

Yeh its amazing...a lovely weekend with near perfect weather followed by a complete reversal and its now been utter SHITE since Monday....thats the trouble with the british climate....ZERO consistency.

[yg60m]

LOL, that's the reputation of England but i have to say that when i went to England (only once, in London), i had an entire week of sun, and it was in May :lol: Very lucky as it seems :wink:

[Jabba]

Ahh yes that week in May is famous here....everyone still talks about it...the week when it didn't rain once....its like a legend...or maybe a myth as I just can imagine a week where it didn't rain once.

[blah]

come over here to america, you can have snow in one state, rain in the next, wildfires in the next, and almost anything else inbetween. Any type of weather that you want you can get.

[yg60m]

:wink: don't laugh at me, my parents couldn't believe i came back brown from England when they had rain in France :lol:

[gis]

ahh... the joys of road maintainance. Nice to see that no-one is actually working in it - as it should be in Britain :wink:

[gis]

yep your right,but its nuthin that surprises me.its liek a law that they have to dig up the road.............and leave it.they are working on it right now though but it must be tough in the rain but its hard to drive on as the ground has been lowered therefore the grids in the road have been raised and on a couple its scrapes the bottom of my front bumper which sucks :lol:

[TT]

Yeah :D finally some proper British pics :D it was kinda boring to see gis and Jabba always posting sunny days' pics :D

[gis]

HAHA yeah its kinda weird seein so much sun and hot weather here.this is the REAL UK,lol

[Daggernite]

Here In Huddersfield its hot during the day, and then it rains like the matrix in the evening. I kinda like the rain tho, its relaxing to listen to.

[RC45]

LOL - the urban legends of British weather.. ;)

BTW, on a completly differnt tack, I just realised that I commute the equivalent of Lands End to John o'Groats every 10 days.. ;) :lol:

Boy would that suck if it rained everyday... :D

[SFDMALEX]

Toronto is no better for the past couple of weeks..it rains and rains and rains

[Daggernite]

Topgeartom today has got to of been the worst day for rain, no? The rain was unbelieveable!! I live on a hill and the road was like a river. So I thought I would get some pics like u and Gis did. I got soaked in the process :lol: was fun tho.

[Daggernite]

[gis]

[Daggernite]

[topgeartom]

today has been screwed up, i got out on my bike today hoping to go for a bit of a ride - shorts n all! Then it absolutely pissed it down! it was thundering today, but no where near as bad as when i first posted the pics in the thread. I also have a vid of the thunder, it's 30 seconds, and 1.3mb - anyone know of some free hosting space???
