C'mon err... errr....anyone?
I'm not a huge tennis fan but I do enjoy Wimbledon. I have the radio (mostly if I'm outside) and TV (if not) on for the two weeks and it makes pleasent background accompaniment to whatever I'm doing.
The bloody weather is ruining it; the bloody weather is ruining summer.
I heard stupid Matthew Bannister on the phone-in on 5 Live this morning asking some weather wotsit expert whether this rain was down to 'global warming'. Hello Matthew! Can't have it both ways you know! A few weeks ago you were asking the same question about the HEAT and SUN. It's weather. Simple as that.
Still - I hate it. Longest days of the year and the nation should be basking in sunlight and the lovely long days.
I was in Brighton for a few days last week and it was cold; rainy and windy. When I was in Brighton in December; January; February and March (few days each time and to kill two birds with one stone - go to a game at the Bridge and see Sussex Uni attending son) it was warm, sunny and mild.
Is it any coincidence that the weather has become even more diabolicial since Gordon started his reign?

Hi Sarns, lovely to see you've reappeared.
Don't talk to me about the weather !
Thanks Curmy! As Rupe would say - BLUDDY weather!
Welcome back Sarnia!
I am SICK of the rain. I am SICK of driving through flooded bits of road on my way home from work....
Grrrrrr....
Thanks M&M. I think everyone'sick of it - poor Sue Barker et al sounded thoroughly pissed off today (and as for the players...)
This should be barbeque and Pimms weather!
I demand my summer back!
I was only saying last night, amidst the hail, lightning and thunder, that we've only eaten outside once this year since the table and chairs were brought out of storage at Easter.
I'm not really bothered about the weather between 7 a.m and 6 p.m Mon-Fri but the rest of time a little less rain would be helpful.
We've eaten out quite a few times, Paul (well at end of April, some of May and bits of June). Patio heaters help. I make a point of sitting outside (unless it's raining) until at LEAST 8.30pm reading - the sun is on the patio until 9pm. Bloody kids take over the living room etc so I have no choice.
By the time the weather gets back to "summer" it will be the end of August and dark by 8. I shall be thoroughly depressed by then as we shall be almost into winter. Arrgghhh!
we bought a barbeque two months ago and it's still in the bloody box. Didn't the bishop of Carlisle say the rain is God's way of making us go vegetarian...
Must be quite a fire hazard Rilly each time you use your barbeque then! (Heh heh).
Bishop of Carlisle's thoughts are something else aren't they?
Good to have you back , Sarns !!
Rupe's ravens have been weeing everywhere ; it's their fault !!
;-)
You poor dears! Well think of me supping something delicious (I mean a drink of course!) on a Cuban beach.
I was in the Uk for a couple of days last week and wasted nearly 2 hours crawling up the A303 (blocked in 2 places...weight of traffice and rain) only to be detoured later as the M1 was shut too, what a palaver but i do think you lot had most of summer in April so your just getting the spring rain a bit late. Re global warming I wa stunned to hear Baroness somethingorother (gov) come straight out with the global warming shite excuse when referring to the flood damage (Sheffield etc) and how some work has been done but lots more is needed (to allow to tax you more to be greener was the unspoke insinuation)
Yes Sarnia, BLUDDY rain, wind,
central heating on a few hours per day. Winter clothes.
Newspapers blowing all over the place whilst having a coffee outside in Hampstead.
Lovely summer plants having heart attacks. I know I have a big moan when it gets hot and humid in London, but this is pooh.
So far I have had a completely horrible year.
My only pleasure is kissing Rosie, and cuddling my two huge grandsons
....which thinking about.....is OK.
Hi Span - Cuba eh?
I shall be on (in?) the West Coast (USA) in a couple of weeks time - San Fran down to LA and then Las Vegas - oh with brats and Mr. Sarnia also (for 3 weeks!)
I am deeply sceptical about this GW rubbish. It's down to rapidly increasing world population mainly isn't it? Le Bros Milliband wouldn't agree I'm sure.
Hi Rupe! Was sunny (ish) here today so managed to get outside for a while. Tennis was terrific today.
Oops! Thanks Ump for kind words!
I thought you'd forgotten about me for a moment there , Sarns !
Good to see you back !
x.
C'mon Tim!
Not a chance, Ump!
Well done, Mags - only two weeks behind! Chuckle.
Has Wimbledon finished now then? I hadn't noticed it was on.
C'mon Greg!
