It is really, properly pissing down out there.
-
It's been a shit summer really. Probably will be followed by another shit winter here.
The weather is **** these days.
-
We've only lost one cricket match to rain this year, though, which is pretty impressive.
The worst weather does seem to have happened in the week, which suits me.
-
By the way, good to see you've got that 'miserable scandi outlook on life' thing down pat
-
We didn't get any real summer weather until the past two weeks, one of which i
was in London for :-|
Current forecast predicting highs of 14'C by the middle of next week :-(
-
It's so frustrating.
Wasting my precious life in the god-forsaken ****hole of a country. It enrages me.
-
That's Billy, not Pat
-
Been lovely here in the main -too hot to work though
-
This is the first year where i'm properly dreading the winter. I was fine for the first couple of
years but now it's hitting me that it's going to be **** and dark between October and May. Knowing a new born is going to be thrown in the mix probably isn't helping.
-
When's the due date?
-
God knows how down pat is
-
Gorgeous sunshine up here b
-
10th January. Had a scan last week and the date was moved forward a little bit.
-
Hopefully he's not seen the flipchart
-
The poor little bastard won't see daylight for the first 6 months of his life
I hate it I hate it I hate it.
I have to move to the equator.
-
You could always leg it
I wouldn't judge you.
-
Way to sound enthusiastic about the whole business, b
Presumably, as the lesser employed of the parents, you'll be handling the bulk of the baby duties?
-
Oh, ffs! You can't have SAD in August. Pull yourself together.
-
It's been four weeks since his last holiday
-
But that's the thing! I've got the winter to get through and it's this period when I should
be stocking up on some sunshine! November, December, February, March. I can't face it b. I can't cope :-(
-
4 weeks until the next one
Mind you, that IS 3 weeks on the equator.
Woohoo!
-
Nah my girlfriend will be taking 13 months. I'll get the 3 at the end
-
What's to be enthusiastic about?
-
Plus, the last one was in Cumbria.
-
Socialism!
-
Don't make me accuse you of a lack of moral fibre.
This climate is what made us great. Besides, it could be worse. You could live in Sweden.
-
I rather enjoyed mine tbh. Beats working anyway
Given half the chance I'd jump at the opportunity to do it full time.
-
Babies.
God, I can't think of anything worse. The idea of going through all that again fills me
-
Plenty of sunshine in the winter months, Sir C.
Crip, clear, fresh, dry, sunny days. I can't wait! :cloud9:
-
Me too, undoubtedly, but mostly it was combining it with work that was horrific
-
Bollocks to that.
I'm bailing out for January again. I'm thinking of driving from Bangkok to Singapore. :southernthailandallanakbarinsurgency:
-
Damp. Cold. Rain. Dark. Fog. Ice.
-
Well I reckon you'll think fondly of a bit of sleet when some grinning savage has just popped your
nutsack in your gob for the greater glory of Allan.
-
Snow
Anyway, what's not to like about coming in from the cold night air to a warm fire and glass
-
Blue skies here. Sun/righteous etc
-
We haven't had a decent pea-souper in years, and it rarely gets icy cold here in civilisation.
-
Ignore him, a. Winter is just his particular bugbear. He won't hear a good word about it.
It's because he has his central heating on too high. He's never become hardened off and thus has never learned to enjoy a good cold day.
-
It's true, it may be worth missing out the Thai/Malay border.
Indonesia, there's no Akbars there.
Oh.
-
I've turned it down to 24 in honour of summer actually.
-
I don't understand the issue, tbh. A good, warm coat, decent shoes and socks, a nice pair of gloves,
a proper scarf and you're as toasty as you could ever wish to be.
And as I reference below, walking into a lounge/pub with roaring fire is a quite wonderful feeling.
