Kennington is drowning in shit right now

Wow, sewage leak?

yup

I'm so glad I've moved out of there, can't imaging the smell.

Kennington is drowning in shit right now

Isn't it always, or only when the cricket is on?

Bloody hell. Hope it gets sorted quickly.

It's climate chaos, it's even coming up from the sewers.

That lower ground floor flat close to Clapham isn't looking so awesome right now.

Seriously though, that must be fucking horrible.

I like living up a hill sometimes.

You're not on the top floor though, still an outside chance of a poo waterfall.

waits for a barrage of shit puns.

South London...

Woah, all the shits were given.

I live round the corner from there (top flat, phew) but thankfully notice my route to the shop won't involve wellies. And so not a single shit was given again and equilibrium is restored.

Sometimes, yes, but, as Plato says in the Timaeus:

There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Paethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals; **at such times those who live ****upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction **than those who dwell by rivers or on the seashore.

They'd just be waste-d on you.

Must be a new Foffa HQ in Kennington...

There's been enough rain that, unpleasant as it would be to come into contact with it, you can't smell anything from 50 yards away. Don't know if helicopters were strictly necessary, perhaps news rather than police.

They say the street has collapsed now:

Hope the g/f house in Oval isn't affected.

Oh my god, that's awful. Hope those are affected can get back to normal soon.
