This rain can fúck off

[WES]

We need rain, folks. Sweet, watery rain to replace and revitalise our precious bodily fluids.

I exchanged texts with someone I used to work with just the other day who moved to Dubai. She had previously told me how much she missed London and couldn't wait to return. Subsequently she moved to Rome where she has lived for the past 3 years or so.

She now tells me she could never return to London as she is used to sunny climes and couldn't possibly put up with the grey days and rain.

I told her off while at the same time thinking she may just be right. Maybe life really is better in places where the sun shines on a continual basis.

I like a sunny day but if it doesn't rain we dry up and become prunes. Did you know that 70% of you is water, WES? The aquifers around London are running dry because we've had relatively little rain over recent years. I walk to work and back and very rarely do I have to take a bus or tube because of rain.

It rained almost every day in August 2008, ISTR.

Hello

Assuming it's 4 out of 7, whoever is playing a lower team on a rainy day and loses a point is going suffer bigly imo. Eg Windies today.

I see the Aussies have been ball-tampering, again

I know it's a daft question but I don't care, why can't cricket be played in the pissing rain? I think a Quagmire of a crease could be well entertaining :giggity:

The ball becomes like a lump of lead.

There's a story about England vs Aussies and England were all over the Aussies with ball swinging around corners and an Aussie batter managed to get the ball away to the boundary at which point an Aussie fan picked up the ball and dropped it in his pint, after that ball did nothing and the Aussies rattled up a huge score.

quit working on purpose. Playing in the rain would cut up the square terrible as - you’d get about two games a season in

A rough pitch would give something back to the bowlers though, in these slog fest days.
