Can't vouch for the weather in Birmingham..... <_<

The past few weeks where I live here in the US, one might think it were the UK with all the rain we've been having in my corner of the states....over a 10 day stretch 2 weeks back, some spots around me had 94 cm of rain.....for the year in my lil corner of Florida we're 53.34 cm above annual rainfall totals and it's only mid-August....people's homes have been flooded for the past 2 weeks now due to all the rains we've had...I think I may need to build an ark...

We've not actually had that much rain here in London this summer - maybe it's role reversal! :blink:

The El Nino weather pattern is what has me about to swim down the streets here in my corner of Florida, and, from what I'm hearing from the weather prognosticators round here, looks like it may very well be an extremely wet winter here, like it was back during the 1997/1998 winter, where it seemingly rained every 3rd day, and at near a 6 cm clip each time it rained... :unsure:

Yes El Ninino or whatever his name is sure is causing a whole lot of havoc all over the place :(

I'm back btw :cheer:

Its peed down in Wigan all day today! It started to go sunny and warm around 3.30 this afternoon but I figured if I hung my washing out it would piss down again! Went to the launderette to use their dryers instead ... and it stayed sunny after all. There was a bloody big wasp in the launderette as well so I didn't hang around much! Its been ages since I went to a launderette - couldn't believe that for a whole quid you only get 10 minutes lousy drying time!

 

I don't half whinge don't I?

I do seem to recall you whining and wingering over in the Take That forum from time to time... ;) ;)

 

But seriously, I don't find you to be a whiner.....guess I haven't interacted with you enough to see it...by the by, how's your uni-aged son doing?

*Cough* - we've had gorgeous hot sunshine all day here in Epsom :dance:

 

but supposed to get a tornado tomorrow :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

I'm sure that can't be true -_-

We had to run home in the floggin rain last night , my suede shoes suffered a small bit :lol:

 

 

Wee Daniel O ' Donnell is appearing on SCD this year Laura , that will be fun with his Donegal accent , you either like him or not :P , he has a big fanbase though so might do quite well ...

 

 

He seems to have some rhythm ^_^

how's your uni-aged son doing?

He got the results he needed to get into the University of his choice but he's still dithering about whether he wants to go or not. I think he should as there's not much out there - also I want him to expand his circle of friends - even if he only benefits from the social aspect I think it would be a good thing (its the only thing of use I got out of my uni days). Having said that - I don't know whether its worth coming out in three years time with £50K of debt hanging around his neck - and STILL there be not much out there in the way of decent employment.

 

Anyway - he's 18 next week - so it ain't my problem any more! I'm applying for jobs further from home now (I want to move as far away from Wigan as I can). If the world were to be given an enema - they'd stick the end of it in Wigan!

Jups is on Facebook these days Biggy, I wonder if she's knows about Wee Daniel..I must tell her :P

Well, I'm NOT on Facebook, and am not planning to be.....only 'social media' site I'm on is Linked In....

 

Regards to Jups and Sparkle..... :)

I was brave and snuck into the Retro Lounge last night :blush:

 

It was the lure of the 1970s that did it.......
