How bad is rain where you are?

[Peter Antal]

No rain here at the moment - sunny w/ mild wind, 32°C.

Hoping it doesn't rain in the next 40 minutes so I get a group together to go to the pub after work.

Here's where we go and they've got enough water

Just some showers here.

In the east and south of Holland it's terrible, though.

Was really shitety here earlier. Overall the weather this week has been cr@p. Really depressing. The weather at the weekend in Bournemouth was perfect. Hot, Sunny, Clear Skies and cooler evenings. Felt like I was abroad

Well it rained this afternoon.. went out for a bit tonight and was driving to my mates house, didnt realise the t-junction was as close as it was (no signs and it was dark), so of course because it was wet I had to slow down quickly, and managed to slide into the verge opposite :oops: :oops: Radiator is buggered I think, and the bumper is all cracked on one corner. Hopefully its just a radiator hose or something, but something was leaking and the overheating light kept flashing on the way home..

It's been glorious up here in Scotland, but my friends in Liverpool have told me that their fish have swum out of their garden pond and can now be seen swimming about on their patio outside the back door :)

It was fine in Sussex yesterday though I deal with Insurance claims and had many floods yesterday (plus a nasty thumb severing incident).

plus a nasty thumb severing incident

Poor guy, it's over with those Hendrix over the fretboard bend thumb chops for the guy then ...

Say Beatle, could we put an insurance on our fingers? How much would that cost and how much would it bring? (fraud can be excluded as noone in here would sacrifice a finger voluntarily)

Well I deal with liability type stuff-where the "victim" is suing his employer "my client" . You take into account age, occupation and extent of injury and then try to work out a settlement-difficult to say at the moment as he has undergone surgery and as we are the "opponents"  we have not a lot to go on yet. Very sad for the man-I don't know much about him yet. If someone was thinking about "losing" a finger for the insurance money ( and people do) it is a good idea to have some sort of personal accident insurance with good rates of benefits and you make it look convincingly like an accident. Personally I would prefer to work my ar*e off for money but thats just me.

38th,

I know a guy tried that kind off guff, sawed off four fingers.

Unfortunately for him, and hilariously for everyone else who's ever met him (he's a bit of a dick), he was caught on the in factory CCTV making a couple of dry runs at it. He was laughed out of court.

What rain?

Landed in Sweden on Friday night :p

[apmaman]

it was real bad here a few days ago, thunder and lightning etc etc. Not been any rain since.

[HTH AMPS]

here in Newcastle it rained non-stop from Monday evening till Saturday afternoon.  no real flooding, it was just constant.

It's stories like this which make me question my sig.
This goes beyond real stupidity though.
Well Into the realms of unadulterated Imbecility, in fact.
