Do I need to buy an Ark? What is going on?
 
Just what is going on? :mad:
It has rained every day for the past 3 weeks!:blink:
It is the height of the summer - I know I shouldn't expect much more but the rain!
Being cooped up in this house with kids, dogs and hamsters I do feel like Noah.:rofl:
I'm off to the Trafford Centre to look at the palm trees....

Think yourself lucky. There is parts of Australia where it hasn't rained in years. If you can send it here.

If it is any consolation we have had rain for a month here. Officially we have had August rainfall in the first fortnight.

Unofficially it has filled the ruddy pond again that i dug out 18 days ago and left to take to the dump :curse:

You'll fit right in with the drivers of Brisbane with driving like that. :rofl:
At least you didnt pull over and stop in the left hand lane of the motorway.
