miserable pissy rain

2012 can fuck right off

What gets to me isn't the rain, but how dark it is in the mornings when it rains like this, even at 10 o'clock.

Wettest December and January ever...

Warmest too?

yeah in london there has been only one day this winter that didn't reach 5c by my recollection

so long as you didn't have a tree fall on your house/car and you don't live right next to a river it's not been a bad winter

It's been bloody cold out here in the sticks. Only a few days with actual ice, but the combo of wind and rain has been very unpleasant.

Depends what you're looking for really. As a cyclist, I could really do without the endless rain and gale force winds. I'd happily take temperatures 3 degrees lower if it meant blue skies and no wind.

swings and roundabouts huh

admittedly im not into outdoorsy type shit but there hasnt been a total lack of sunlight, in between the rainshowers

its not been constant rain, just that when it has rained it has rained really fucking heavily

it's yet another freakish winter though, like last year's which went on until april, another sense that the climate is going to shit and thank fuck i dont own a house on the somerset levels

April 2012-April 2013 was the most miserable year's worth of weather imaginable. The last couple of months or so have been pretty shit (obviously worse down in the south-west), but I haven't given up hope that it's going to get better. One day.

the climate change predictions for northwest europe dont seem that consistent, some suggesting cooler some suggesting that it will just be like taking 5 degrees of latitude away so we get warmish weather while spain turns into algeria

in the comments there (suicideneil) there are some pictures of people in america doing the same thing

'i come from a rain planet'

'did you like it there?'

'we didn't know any better'

Bank Holiday: workers' playday washout in London.

Play inside.

Aargh

soggy

Aargh, again.....I'm impatient for Spring to start properly here in London.

soggy again

first cricket match of the season today, so of course

so many Bank Holiday options

I've gone back to 'pretending I'm an extra in Blade Runner' mode.

Good to put a few moments aside to celebrate the dignity of labour on International Workers Day

she looks like how i feel about going to the shops right now

I have enjoyed the light rain this morning, walking across the fields to the shop. then there was an opening and clear blue skies for 10 minutes, then the rain came back

Later, the tour de yorkshire is passing through here

are there any custom ales for the tour?

I havent seen any custom ales!

I just saw a large group of people walk down the lane to the main road, it looks like the cyclists are coming through in 30 minutes time

I miss cycling in yorkshire, even in the rain. an old friend of mine brewed something for when the tour de france started in yorks but idk if this would merit an ale

Well obv a miserable pissy rain thread would have to have a Yorkshire related revive! I actually love rain myself. Alls you need is a £20 trespass jacket and some headphones and rain isn't very miserable at all although sometimes I admit if it becomes too prolonged it would be nice to rent some of it out to the State of California or something.

I'm suprised to learn that where i am (very) briefly staying, is in the extreme south of your electoral seat. I see there was a major boundary redraw in 2010

MISERABLE TO WHO? I QUITE LIKE A BIT OF RAIN SO STICK TO THE FACTS

nigel blackwell didn't have a cricket match that day

love rain

Come precipitate

ew

cricket probably more interesting if played during torrential downpours

more interesting and much more unpleasant to play

nakh's all watching through a telescope from the attic though, chuckling

interestingly, there's maybe the most interesting match England or the West Indies (ShariVari's team) have played in a year or two coming to a potentially thrilling conclusion today, yall should tune in

recently on ILX Dreams...

i'll see you online

what is that cricket satidum where ppl watch from their roofs? edgbaston maybe

sounds like trent bridge? lemme check

xxxxxp
Bloody hell is Anvil in Grange Moor?

way further south than that!

> MISERABLE TO WHO? I QUITE LIKE A BIT OF RAIN SO STICK TO THE FACTS
