alisoncc 379 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thought for a while that what we need is a place where a person can rabbit on about absolutely anything that comes to mind, without having to hunt for a relevant topic. Want to mention the current weather, sunrise, sunset or no sun at all. What the neighbour said, what your doctor said or what the judge said. What the birds, cats or wolves are doing in your back garden. Anything that has been a particular PITA - that's pain in the a*rse or has made you smile today. Want to get something off your chest or share with others. Well this is where you can do it. No replies necessary.So why am I sitting here typing at 4.00am. It's because of our stoopid weather.England has four seasons which seem to gently fade into one another. Where I live days alternate between hot and cold. With the Australian interior being pretty hot, and not far South the Antarctic being somewhat chilly, all it takes is a change in wind direction. So here at 4.00am it's 20 degC plus outside, with a forecast of 14 degC as the maximum for this afternoon. Stoopid, absolutely.When I used to go to work, often when dressing. I would peer into my wardrobe as I tried to decide whether I should dress for a 10 degC or a 30 degC day. And 90% of the time I would get it wrong. Autumn and Spring have no meaning at all down here. Miss the UK's seasons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Want to hear my moan. I've got a week off work and caught my grand-daughter's cold. Nothing much but irritating. I wanted to clean out the garage today but can't be bothered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mick2me 3,033 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Yesterday I was walking round town in a short sleeved T shirt. Today everyone is walking round in overcoats. A cold wind is blowing in from the north. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 It was only 6 degrees when i took the kids to school this morning. After I had dropped them off I had a bit business dahn tahn, as I drove in I had another 'senior moment' , I was convinced my washers had frozen up (Bright sun on the screen and the recent detritus needed removing) I'd love to know how many people I had flashed my headlights at before I got the right button !!! I wouldn't mind so much but it's on the other side of the steering column ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have to have a word with the Admins as to whether those from Trent Bridge should be allowed to post comments where decent people post. We have to maintain standards.
