It's always amazed me that Vancouver is at the top of "Best places to live".

Manchester, England's wettest city, has on average 800mm of rain a year.

Vancouver has 1200mm... and it rains 166 days, on average, per year.

Bugger that!

I love the word ‘freaking’, we all know it means ****ing but somehow it’s so middle class and acceptable. It’s the same with effing, unless you’re like my mate who uses effing and c*** in the same sentence thinking somehow it’ll mitigate the offense. He is Scotch though.

Is it middle class? I thought it was just Canadian.

If i was still 100% kuwu I'd probably say it was cunting rain.

I also just see rain, well till sunday at least, rain rain and more rain, with a dash of sunshine.

Although I do see a thunder/lightning storm forecast, so hopefully that will add some entertainment to these dull dull days.
