It is really, properly pissing down out there.

The weather is **** these days.

[Berni]

The worst weather does seem to have happened in the week, which suits me.

[Berni]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

was in London for :-|

Current forecast predicting highs of 14'C by the middle of next week :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Wasting my precious life in the god-forsaken ****hole of a country. It enrages me.

Last week was a bit ****

[Billy Goat Sverige]

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.

I hate it I hate it I hate it.

I have to move to the equator.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

Presumably, as the lesser employed of the parents, you'll be handling the bulk of the baby duties?

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

be stocking up on some sunshine! November, December, February, March. I can't face it b. I can't cope :-(

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Mind you, that IS 3 weeks on the equator.

Woohoo!

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

It pissed down.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

This climate is what made us great. Besides, it could be worse. You could live in Sweden.

[Classic Jorge]

Given half the chance I'd jump at the opportunity to do it full time.

[Berni]

with horror.

[Ashberto]

Crip, clear, fresh, dry, sunny days. I can't wait! :cloud9:

[Classic Jorge]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm bailing out for January again. I'm thinking of driving from Bangkok to Singapore. :southernthailandallanakbarinsurgency:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

:-(

[Berni]

nutsack in your gob for the greater glory of Allan.

[Rich]

of malbec, eh?

[Witharby 2-3 weeks]

[Ashberto]

[Berni]

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.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Indonesia, there's no Akbars there.

Oh.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Rich]

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.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

you have to use the infernal umbrella device. The whole thing is a nightmare.

[Supermac1976]

[Berni]

would we be?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Avoiding the monsoon :-(

[Berni]

walk at lunchtime. Later, I shall go for a run and splash calf-deep through muddy water.

I'll probably get trench foot, but you don't hear me complaining, do you? All part of life's rich pattern, innit.

Furthermore, this evening I must visit my hand surgeon to discuss my operation :-(

He's going to cut lump out of me. Under a local anaesthetic.

[Berni]

Are you going to watch him hack at you?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I'm keen to get it done as quickly as possible, but I don't really want to be trekking through a f**king jungle in Rwanda with an open would on my hand letting in f**king bacteria unknown to medical science, so I need to know if he can do it soon and ensure it's fully healed in a couple of weeks.

[Berni]

Although I suspect there would have been really quite a lot of the Egyptian army about to battle Allan's mates, I wasn't risking it.

[Berni]

They're like that. These are the same people who - when my self-employed father had a bad back - told him to lie on the floor for a month. :rolleyes:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Awkward.

[Berni]

Should have made that clear, really.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Little bit the woticism. Ordered extra scans just to spite the insurance company because he doesn't like Aviva. Made me 'wepeat' after him, over and over, 'We don't expect this to be a cancer!'

[Berni]

wrongness going on, but you said nothing about a cancer.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I mentioned this to a friend, who opened his hand to show me his Dupuytren's Contracture.

It is quite clearly a Dupuytren's Contracture.

Dr Madman, however, took one look at it and cried, 'Pwobably not cancer! A Dupuytren's Contracture!'

So, to be honest, I'm assuming it's not cancer, and wondering why he felt the need to bring the subject up.

[Berni]

I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he reckons if a chap of your age and habits rocks up with a lump, he's going to assume it's cancer, so he was trying to put you at your ease.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

I gob in the eye of handcance.

[Berni]

up and gross, anyway.
