Anyone else in the UK having the same massive downpours or is it just me?
We just had hail here too.

Hope it doesn't get bad!
Is it a serious problem yet?

It's literally just you. I don't know what you did, but Weather Wizard is fuckin' pissed.

The down-sloping road outside is doing its impression of the fucking Thames.

The title of the thread made me think of "New Orleans is Sinking (And I Don't Want To Swim)". I was going to post a parody thread titled that, but then decided it was too tacky.

Anybody reading "Freakangels"? Maybe Warren Ellis really CAN see the future.... But that's really too scary to contemplate.

Hell no, there's no global warming going on...

We're talking about rain in Britain here, this says 0 about Global Warming :biggrin:
And yeah, it was pissing it down up here too :)

All sloped downwards into the river, so no real problems.
I say that, but then I was indoors the whole time. THANK CHRIST.
everything cool Charles?
just wanna make sure you're OK.

Yeah, I'm exaggerating a bit here - we're a long way above the river and everything slopes down to it, it'd take a lot to flood my bit.
Not that it wasn't a bit worrying to see the road outside go "woooosh!". (Be worse if I needed the train; you get to Platform 2 via a tunnel, and that's flooded a few times when the drains fill up. Cue a whole lot of commuters taking the long way round...)

It apparently rained here yesterday, but I missed it all. Sun was splitting the sky when I got out of work, but the ground was wet.

Hell yeah, if it gets too wet Gorgo might be able to return to London!
