just singing in the rain!!!

We now have a very picturesque and totally unplanned water feature in our garden.....just need the ducks to complete the picture. Don`t you just love these `high water events`?!

I`m not really being glib - it`s false bravado - a few more days of rain could wipe the smile right off my face!!! It`s not even as though we are close to a river or anything. The water table is just so high now that there ain`t anywhere for the water to go.

Hope the rest of you are keeping your feet dry.(:o)

Don't worry mum....there'll be a water shortage again in a few months time.....in fact, I read somewhere in the news that a water authority in one of the flooded areas has been sending out letter telling people to conserve water....

Hohoho.....

Mornin Gav. You`re probably right!

I gather the flood warnings are creeping towards London now - Teddington is the closest I believe.

How was your weekend?(:o)

Floods in london? that'd be Dougal then ;) maybe a good flood is what this dump needs!

Weekend was ok....quiet on friday, HAMMERED on Saturday and a quiet night in last night.....

Did the Stotties keep dry?

Arg god help us if London gets flooded. The media will be on overdrive showing us the harrowing pictures and the government will probably declare it a national state of emergency.

`dry` is a good word to describe them by Saturday night. I had forgotten that they don`t keep that well! Maybe I shouldn`t have made quite so many!!!!

Didn`t need them on Sunday as Pete took me out for lunch. Three hours of total heaven - good food, good wine, wonderful surroundings and, of course, good company! It was sheer bliss.(:o)

Ah but DeBuilder - think of the up-side. It could solve the traffic polution problems - think gondolas instead of buses and taxis! (:o)

Imagine the average London cabbie punting his way down Tottenham Court Road, mouthing off at everyone. Nah keep them in cabs where their rants are only heard by a few.

Yorkshire is a total wash out we are taking to the boats here.

It took me 20 mins to make the one mile trip to work today as the road in was a swimming pool!

I am assuming your property is above the `high water` mark Jay?(:o)

So I take it that you had a nice anniversary Gal?

We recently forked out on the necessaries for a 'water feature'. Just who were we trying to kid ? Needn't have bothered with a pump - the torrent needs absolutely no assistance whatever - in fact the guy next door is thinking of billing me for sandbags.:-))

Will it be any worse when it eventually turns to snow ?

It was wonderful Gav. Nothing like being spoilt rotten, to make you feel good! (;o)

Pit Bill - at least the garden looks tidy when it snows! (;o)

Let's hope your luck holds, Galaxy. It must be so frustrating being at the whim of the weather, with events being almost totally out of one's control - something we're all a bit cossetted from in Britain.

Gal
Yeah. For about half an hour.

If it's any consolation, it's p1$$ing down over here. And it's on it's way over there!

To cheer me up amidst all this bloody rain, we went to pay homage to three fellow aging rockers tonight - called Entwhistle, Daltry and Townsend.
The Who were in town ......"aint got no distractions; can't hear no buzzers 'n bells...."
Great night.

clarky, your hearing problems are from sitting too close to the front!

A man of your age should know better!

Don't see no lights a-flashin', plays by sense of smell. Hmm, sounds like Gary Speed.

My mate and me both thought the concert was brill: the wives both thought it was pants.
C'mon you philosophers - what does this tell us?

You've got a good point Gus - me ears were still ringing this morning. But what a sound.
I can always tell me grandchildren I saw The Who play Pinball Wizard - LIVE!

Sod off Clarky. If youre tryig to make me jealous, you've succeeded big time. As for being philosophical, well it probably means that you appreciate class, and realise, like yourself, that good things transcend age.

Alternatively, you and your mate married the wrong lasses. What's their view on football?

Screacher, They're both fans, but johny-come-latelys - in fact 'wor lass' has been to three games already this season. I suspect it was Daveed, or more accurately his thighs, who converted her to the light.
Having said that she's very critical of the present squad that she reckons just aren't good looking enough. She dreams wistfully of the days of Les, Daveeeed, Phillipe and Darren.
Different perspective I guess!
I must get her along to the Strawberry one day and she can discuss the aesthetic merits of the present squad with Susie BA, Steph, Jay and Dougal.

Don't worry Clarky - Gav doesn't turn up these days, and Sting's as meek as a lamb when he's on his own.
