It's been pissing down more-or-less constantly here since last thursday. It is depressing. It's 20 past 12, and I've had 3 customers in so far. Bitch bleat whine whine whine etc. Gimme some sunshine so I can maybe get some trade in here.

i'm with ya. Thunderstorm here until Monday, and before then, I have to pick somebody up at an airport, go to a show, and MOVE to another state.

All I can do is hope that it's miserable and pissing down with rain in the West Country, on my ex boyfriend and his new girlfriend. That is a thought that truly, truly brings me relief. The thought of them cooped up in the house and miserable and driving each other crazy, that makes me very happy.

Yes, I'm a bitch. I don't care.

I've been enjoying the rain, last week was largely unbearable, esp. the nights.

It depends what yr after, Barry. If it's a folder, yes, if it's a non-folder, I usually don't, b/c they are so prone do getting battered in transit!

Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:33 (eighteen years ago) link

No, I want a modern, slick, non-falling-apart version of what I have now (a Holdsworth road bike, none of this mountain bike nonsense). I love my bike but all its parts are just knackered.

Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:34 (eighteen years ago) link

It was OK this morning, but the pissiness has just started again. I stupidly wore open toed slingbacks and a skirt.

Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:50 (eighteen years ago) link

It's pissing it down here, lots of thunder & lightning too!

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:50 (eighteen years ago) link

It's gorgeous here, we had our rain last night (it flooded the pub)

Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 12 August 2004 10:56 (eighteen years ago) link

We've had a month's worth of rain in three days and it's still going strong. Try Glasgow less.

Onimo (GerryNemo), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah - it's supposed to be sun sun sun on Saturday. I'm working on Saturday.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:26 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm moving house!! It's sunny now, but still thundering.

PinXor (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:26 (eighteen years ago) link

Barry, you'll be much better looking for a decent used model. It's a "buyer's market" at present, due to oversupply. Good ones to look for (if in good nick) are Dawes Horizon, Dawes Galaxy, Dawes super-galaxy. Haggle down, there are more sellers than buyers these days. I can't shift ANYTHING used these days except Bromptons in decent condition.

Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 12 August 2004 11:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Rain's gettinge me down. wet feet, no long walks. boo. The Daily Mail found a way of blaming the bad weather on America. i admire their ingenuity and unrelenting hatred.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:04 (eighteen years ago) link

I thought the Daily Mail wanted us leave the EU and join NAFTA? I get so confused.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:08 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not saying I really thought that.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:09 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm not sure the Daily Mail just like the hating. we clearly didn't deserve the rain, it must be someone's fault...

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:14 (eighteen years ago) link

i still haven't experienced a touch of rain.

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:16 (eighteen years ago) link

But the important question is how is the rain affecting property prices?

Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes - asylum seekers are being given free roof repairs, which is distorting the market.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:20 (eighteen years ago) link

The rain coming down right now is quite amazing.

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:39 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm really enjoying these cloudbursts (central London). But this one seems to be over already.

beanz (beanz), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:44 (eighteen years ago) link

I wish they would last longer, I wish it would rain and rain and rain, because it suits my mood at the moment.

Super-Masonic Black Hole (kate), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:46 (eighteen years ago) link

S&G's Bookends is providing perfect 40 days of rain accompaniment for me at the moment.

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:50 (eighteen years ago) link

still no rain here :(

ken c (ken c), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:50 (eighteen years ago) link

still gorgeous here :)

Ste (Fuzzy), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:51 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm finding a super cheap 30's blues comp i got from fopp (£3! 4 CD's!) is the perfect rainy day friend.

Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:53 (eighteen years ago) link

Ooh - I think it might have stopped!

Alba (Alba), Thursday, 12 August 2004 12:56 (eighteen years ago) link

seven years pass...

does this shit intend on stopping any time soon

ha i just finished watching the weather forecast

no, by the looks of things, although the current mid-atlantic squall over london should be the nadir

i really enjoyed the most miserably intense bit of it earlier because i was in bed with my laptop warming me watching leveson and with no need to leave the house, but even from this cosy perspective the sheer unstopping relentlessness of it becomes depressing

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 18:38 (ten years ago) link

yeah sturm und drang is always best appreciated from indoors

from tomorrow it's back to the last fortnight's enervating Miserable Pissy Rain

I hated the most miserably intense bit because I was out walking in it.

I got stuck in a spring rain at lunch, with blocks to go. My hair is well and truly fucked for the rest of the day, I think.

When we first moved in here - in fact the day Neil Young was on TV playing in Hyde Park - we had the most fucking awful downpour that caused the trough on top of the bay window to fill with water and pour into the living room. We spent the evening with towels and buckets trying to mop up the stuff before it got in the electrics. We've had it fixed since obv. but every time it's rained since I've been really terribly anxious. This week hasn't been great.

kraudive, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:30 (ten years ago) link

We nearly went to that NY gig - after seeing Springsteen bring the place down the night before. If we had, we've come back to the worst mess I can imagine. I'm even still anxious about Neil Young's music.

Fucking April. Though. That was August. Fucking rain.

kraudive, Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:32 (ten years ago) link

i'm meant to go out now and the rain has stopped but i am looking beseechingly at my bed, pleading with it to FORCE me into it

liberté, égalité, beyoncé (lex pretend), Wednesday, 25 April 2012 20:36 (ten years ago) link

Anyone else think they might go postal simply due to the sheer relentlessness of the weather?

Had to bin my London Olympics umbrella (£14 from M&S), which is coming apart from constant use in the last few weeks.

Bob Six, Sunday, 29 April 2012 10:57 (ten years ago) link

met office said: 50-60% chance of heavy rain. Threw caution to the wind and went out in a t-shirt twice today and disappointingly didn't get rained on either time, despite the ominously stormy looking skies that delivered nothing.

floods on the road of my mother's house again. Wood st E17 area. a year and a month after first flooding in a few decades.

Stevolende, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 18:14 (seven months ago) link

sounds from posts I've read as though people were just getting things back together after last year's damage and been hit again. & the drains weren't as cleaned as intended.

Stevolende, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 19:51 (seven months ago) link

Thames Water probably too busy anxiously waiting with finger trembling over the "RELEASE RAW SEWAGE INTO WATERWAYS" button at first sign of a deluge, rather than considering getting things together. Private Water is a fucking criminal enterprise, it really pisses me off. Anyway when the YW hosepipe ban kicks in I'm still going to continue putting the pool in my garden and filling it. Just to tempt the neighbourhood grass into action and see their disappointment when I inform them they are wasting their time because disabled blue card holders/priority service users are exempt from the ban. ha-ha-ha-ha

oddly mine did the other day but is dry as a bone today. some wind directions are much worse than others (for apparently at least 2 different reasons - onto front windows = them leaking, onto upstairs' windows = them leaking *through* her flat and into mine)

koogs, Thursday, 25 August 2022 09:54 (seven months ago) link

Seemingly two week's rain in 20 minutes, and I got caught in it. I had an umbrella but even so, bottom of trousers and right sleeve of shirt soaked.

Thursdays are when I take Widget to the Heath but not in this weather! If it were light drizzle I might still go, but at this point he doesn’t even want to go out to pee.

the roads were flooded out round Turnpike Lane station this morning, thankfully the tube station itself is not yet a sewer

These cagoules rule - but get a size bigger than you think you need. My co-workers think that 'cagoule' is a hilarious word. But I'm still dry after walking a mile in the rain, while they're soggy after walking over from the car park in a fleece.

Being cheap is expensive (snoball), Thursday, 3 November 2022 10:20 (four months ago) link

it did give up enough for me to walk around park and supermarket but yes, big puddles, probably the biggest i've seen. both blocked drains on the roads and waterlogged grass in the park

I concur; after a day of miserable pissy wet snow it's finally settling here enough for the kids to play in.
