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
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

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.

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...

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.
