OK, new thread. How are you guys in the UK coping with the water?

**ClapekDodki** · 07-24-2007, 09:26 AM

Cause:
I'll bet one of you backed up the 'loo again.

Funny that.... up here in Scotland, the weather is fine

Lovely in fact!

Yeah, we're rather lucky up here.

From the BBC site, everywhere along River Thames looks flooded... Central London included.

Hope all is well.

Where did you see that? (Central London included).

There were some flash floods on Friday in south London, but that's about it.

**larentont** · 07-24-2007, 09:44 AM

I'm happy you're taking care of the water, we're are fed up with it here: the summer started around the 20th of July.

**KacypeJeope** · 07-24-2007, 09:54 AM

Scotland: Where the summer never starts!

Shame for the people in the areas affected.

We're still waiting for the summer to start here! No sign of it yet!

As you can see not everything about the bad weather is bad!

Seriously, it's just awful at the moment. Just down the road they are having real problems with floods a few weeks ago and then again over the weekend. On Saturday in some parts a whole month's rain fell in 24 hours. And they are preparing for more this week.

It's not so much the rain, it's the fact that there seems to be no let up. I know we have a reputation in the UK for rain but this is getting beyond a joke.

People are suffering from colds and chest infections (me included).

I haven't been able to mow the grass for weeks, it now looks like a wild garden much to the wife's annoyance but then are grass is filled with weeds so I couldn't care less any more.

That's why i'm off to the Med to escape and get some summer for a week

But i'll miss 17 hours swording

**HitAttetlyTek** · 07-24-2007, 02:13 PM

Meh, spot of rain bah humbug. Get me dinghy out...

**r5YOPDyk** · 07-24-2007, 02:20 PM

Well if i had a dinghy i wouldn't care either

**exchpaypalgold** · 07-25-2007, 12:40 AM

I had a dream tonight.
1588: the mighty Spanish Armada is approaching the English coasts. The small English ships run toward the fleet, throw some cannonballs and run away before the heavy spanish ship can react. Except one... The English ship's captain made a mistake and his sails are a big mess. He is boarded big a huge galion. The shinai are drawned, the sonkyo is performed, the judges are ready for the battle. A wild blue hord invades the English deck. One of the spanish kenshi's hakama get struck in something and the guy fall in the sea. Twenty shiais are happening at the same time, no one knows who will win.

Speaking about flooding on KWF + speaking about pirates of the carribean with friends + no kendo for one month = something strange.

**kertUtire** · 07-25-2007, 02:02 AM

My old man may be in for a spot of bother, but I'm safe, I leave on a hill!

**Lapsiks** · 07-25-2007, 02:06 AM

Yep, you ARE Sauron, after all...

**Si8jy8HN** · 07-25-2007, 02:24 AM

Thought I'd go for a trip to Somerset on Sat (don't ask). Set out at 9am from Walsall looking forward to a nice trip down the M5, about two and a half hours.

Got on at Junction 1. M5 closed at junction 5 Have to go cross country. Eventually navigate by atlas (no sat-nav) to just north of Stow-on -the-Wold. Hit Huuuuuge traffic jam. Crawl for next couple hours ...

... arrive at Stow-on the-Wold and tiptoe through water that is covering my wheel arches. BUT the road clears and off we go ...

... arrive at M5 Junction 11 (Bristol) run straight into Holiday traffic (in Britain the First day of the school Summer Hiolidays everyone and his f****ing caravan decides to drive aimlessly on all the roads for about 2 weeks). So we crawl for what seems like forever...

Leave Walsall 09:00
Arrive Destination: 16:30
Ended up staying overnight and travelling home the next day...
Travel time home: 1 3/4 hours.

Passsed the River Avon, looked like a lake with just a couple of roofs sticking out of it :S

**Gedominew** · 07-25-2007, 02:36 AM

You greedy little buggers. Here we are in a record drought and you've got more water than you can handle and you're hogging it! Bleedin' Poms.

**FliveGell** · 07-25-2007, 02:38 AM

Yep, you ARE Sauron, after all...

But I don't have an all powerful ring (unless you ask my students that is......urgh....). And its not Mount Doom, its Finchley!
