The Great British Weather

Aw, you've started naming your British storms, that's so cute...

We're currently in the middle of our tenth (?) big tropical storm of the last two weeks (we've had two today)... I wish I could drive, I wanna storm chase...

I did really well at missing the rain yesterday. Got up to sunshine, rode to work, had a job in Fallowfield then was set up outside unicorn in Chorlton, rain started as I arrived in Chorlton, caught a slight drizzle at most. Rain continued until bang on 7 when I left, got blown back to the workshop with about 3 minutes to spare before all the rain of the last few hours fell again in about 20 minutes. Didn't even need waterproofs.

It's not even a storm on the beaufort scale. It's "Bad Weather Abigail".

Actually that's a great band name.

Dark o'clock at just past 3pm today: 'orrible.

Take care on bridges, people were eating shit southbound on Waterloo blown into the curb

Happens to the best.

Omitting punctuation and apostrophes must be resisted. :)

(It's actually an oblique joke about the barney that Pisti had with Don Walker.)

As I recall, only Don Walker was having a barney. Someone else was having lots of fun.

Where is this gem?

Tru dat.

This was slightly before my time but it was still over all sorts of threads later in the year.

We will rebuild.
