Ahh...the British weather
 
Not that interesting, but here are some photos of the general climate my part of England enjoyed today:

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 08-09-2004 06:23 PM

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:

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

astonmartinandy 08-10-2004 04:17 AM

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 08-10-2004 04:34 AM

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 08-10-2004 04:44 AM

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 08-10-2004 04:49 AM

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 08-10-2004 05:09 AM

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 08-10-2004 05:10 AM

: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 08-10-2004 05:58 AM

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 08-10-2004 08:03 AM

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 08-10-2004 09:10 AM

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

gis 08-10-2004 09:12 AM

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

Daggernite 08-10-2004 03:31 PM

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 08-10-2004 03:56 PM

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 08-10-2004 04:05 PM

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

Daggernite 08-12-2004 03:36 PM

Daggernite 08-12-2004 04:16 PM

I know its messed up, i dunno what to do where shorts, a raincoat, hide from lighting bolts, or worry bout gettin sunburns. Decided to come on JW in the end, good choice i think :wink:

gis 08-12-2004 04:47 PM

Daggernite 08-12-2004 04:52 PM

topgeartom 08-12-2004 05:55 PM

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???
