When will it stop raining

Post by divx »

To my calculation, its been almost a month not, and hardly a day has gone by without rain.

Do [s]u[/s] you think someone has prepared an ark, I hope I get picked as one of the 2 by 2 (slim chances though)

There was a failed attempt in London with a car containing 3 gas canisters wrapped in nine inch nails, outside one of London's busiest night clubs at 2am (which is also kicking out time for the club.)

I like to cycle to work. But I don't do it in the rain. And all this rain has meant very little cycling. I just had a look at the forecast and it says rain tomorrow and the next day and the day after that and the day after that. Sunny on Friday though. Side point: has anyone noticed the forecasts getting slowly less and less accurate?
