the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

so come on, let's have a good old British style whinge about the weather.

I'll start, shall I?

My 10 minute walk to work today was stretched to 30 by firstly avoiding large puddles, and then working up the dignity to de-shoe and roll up in the middle of the road for the final crossing... had to wait until I was out of view of a schoolbus-full of kids :eek:

I hear on the radio that Emirates is totally blocked in the northern direction from the first Sharjah turn off to National Paints.

Ankle deep outside my office, which is now an island :p

I love it, makes a nice change, even though the roof is leaking in my house but kind enough to fall into the bath :D

Must remember to not keep my window of car open as you quickly forget the effect of a passing speeding car going through a puddle has on you being soaked inside the car ......

I hate it. Feels as if I am living inside a dishwasher right now. :(

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

its a nightmare. reminds me too much of England :huh:

my usual 20 minute commute took 1 hour and 20 minutes this morning!

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

omg, it's horrendous...the roads are wild, it took ages to do the school run and we all got soaked, and it's getting worse by the minute...

Our street has been transformed into a kneedeep puddle...
Taking the little one to school this morning, there was a Ferrari going through a pool that reached the windscreen...that was funny....
I love to go to the desert in a couple of week, cause it will have turned really green just like last year...

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

I would love you to go to the desert too. Meanwhile, please leave my Ferrari alone.

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

what...and never come back again

You must be a mind reader amongst all your other many talents...

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

I'm sure it can be arranged ;)

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

yeah...it's shocking the amount of filth that goes on in that little head of yours.

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

Uptown Mirdif Primary school has just been closed....too much leakage in the building, and if it keeps on raining they won't be open tomorrow either...

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

JVR, the image of you rolling up your trousers and wading through a puddle in the road is wonderful... You're a village boy at heart, aren't you?

Me, I'm liking the rain even tho I get soaked every time I go out for a fag break.

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
 

oh joy...let the heavens open, lol...

MM, xx

Re: the It's Raining, It's Pouring thread
