This is England

It rains here,it rains here quite a lot actually.

However the present continous downpour is beyond a joke. It rained almost every day in June and it hasn’t stopped now we’re into July and I’ m getting fucking sick of it.

Last year about this time we had TBHYSTITS (The Big Hot Yellow Shiney Thing In The Sky) and all was well in the land, people were happy, girls walked around half nekkid and we all sweated cobs whilst consuming vast quantities of falling down water in a vain attempt to keep cool.

Where is TBHYSTITS now?

I blame the liberals

Actually, I think it was the conservatives. They sold the sun to a group of private sunshine providers, but they’ve neglected maintenance in favour of shareholder dividends.

BTW, is there still a hosepipe ban in force?

I thought it was only sunny during Wimbilton week. And what? no hail? Sounds like you’re having beautiful weather.

The Met Office have officially “written off” this year’s summer :frowning:

It’s all due to the jetstream, which is too far south… thus preventing the Azores High from sending TBHYSTITS in our direction.

There’s no sign of it shifting, so it looks like it’s rainy weather for the rest of July/August.

Hurrah for low-cost airlines, say I!

It’s really starting to get me down now. AFAIR the Rain Every Single Fucking Day thing started about the same time as I posted in a thread called Misconceptions About Your Country that it doesn’t rain as much as people think in Britain. So it’s basically my fault. Sorry.

This could seriously mess up my boat project in two ways:
-Ideally, I need to work on some of it outdoors - the sanding and painting especially.
-The river is a bit floody now and this might jeopardise plans for a July maiden voyage. :frowning:

Meh - this is why I would never want to live in England. Coming from Australia, I can’t stand the thought of spending most of the year suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder).

Keep your miserable old blighty - I am happy in my overheated, sunshiney Middle Eastern paradise!!!

Heh heh. TBHYSTITS.

OMG!!1! The sun’s out in Oxford! Pity it’s only 15C.

It’d better stop raining for the weekend when I’m at a music festival. Camping is bad enough but add rain to the experience and I’ll be sleeping in the car, thank you very much.

Summer? Bah!

I think we need to rework that acronym a bit. I want it to spell out TITTYBISCUITS

I love the cold and I love the rain (leaky roof aside). The Sun can fuck off and die.

So it’s YOUR fault! Burn him!

Sorry, the wood’s all wet and I can’t get the matches to light.

Exile me to somewhere cold and I’ll give you your Sun back.

Not without a TITTYBISCUITS you won’t!

That Immense, Turbulent Thing, Yellow, Big In Sky, Curious Unknown - Is The Sun

Ooh, word game!

The Invisible Thing This Year Behind Incessant Sullen Clouds Up In The Sky

There It Tis, The Yellow Bright Impressive Sun, Cancerous Ultraviolet In The Sky.

Hmm, not quite the same sentiment though…still, it’s out now and I’m stuck at work…bet it will rain tomorrow when I’m off…[mutters darkly]

Damn, THIS RAIN IS FUCKING UP THE ORDER OF PLAY IN WIMBLEDON!!

Yes, it happens often, rain interupting play and all, but this has been a joke…
