The old duffers who like to moan, complain, and generally grumble about the weather thread.

Way back when I were a lad, we lived in a draughty old terrace house with old sash windows. Some nights were spent huddled round a candle for a bit of warmth. I remember one night it was really cold,so we actually lit the candle.

Wish we could have had a candle when we where young.

We made our candles from fat surgically removed from the fattest kid in the family.

Jeez, its wetter than Ian Beale out there.

Just imagine he's looking in your window.

We can have another thread for flat roofs

Maybe a sub form for it, together with sheds

Oh dear now that would be a problem - which sub forum? - as the roof on my shed is leaking (It really is BTW )

 

[Ming the Merciless]

Well if you could tag a post to appear in multiple forums. Sheds, roof, weather, ...

HID & I love the Winter. The colder the better. Can’t wait for the clocks to change. Hopefully even more flooding tomorrow. Happy days.

They've been forecasting a 'hard winter' for years and we still haven't had anything like they were when I was a nipper.

You've just toughened up over the years

I'm praying for torrential rain... it's the only way i'll know if my recent flood defence project has worked or needs additional tweaking.

I'll only moan about the weather if it's crap when I've booked the week off work and a weekend away at Silverstone - especially if the previous week had been warm, sunny & dry while I was stuck in the office.

Fecking weather. Bloody miserable, wet & windy all week, apart from Monday, but I got a puncture caused by a small sharp stone dragged onto the road in the dry conditions up to then so I'll moan about that as well. Tomorrow the car goes in for some recall work and it's due to rain again so I doubt I'll get much of a ride in while the work's being done.

Om a still day I can hear Silverstone from here.

We have just booked another week in Gerona. Only got to wait three weeks. Am so looking forward to it.

Aren't we lucky derrick ?

Isn't life just a miraculous wonder of great gifts, for which to be grateful

You know - sunshine, sparkly puddles after autumn showers, scudding clouds, the warm breeze on your cheek as you bowl along the lanes, goldfinches flitting about the hedgerows, languid picnics under the bosky oaks, and so forth.

Makes one quite glad to be alive

Absolutely hammered it down overnight. T'was like a scene from The Day After Tomorrow.

Just think what it'll be like tomorrow.

Bastard rain. Noah has now moved in. Too wet to continue building the Ark

 

[aferris2]

No sight of rain or cold weather here. What am I to do?

 

[Drago]

Chilly here, a low of 41F overnight. Another degree or so and it would have been a frost, although we've had one of those already a couple of weeks back.
