Who Left the taps on???

Well I've mentioned the concept of super mega rain previously. But that's not what we're getting here in the UK at the moment. Oh no. We're getting the super mega oh my word if this doesn't stop soon I'm going to need a boat to get home as I'm fairly certain my Car can't float rain. Last week we had a storm. A real humdinger of a storm with lighting and everything ( that's doesn't happen much round here). In fact it was the worst storm I could remember in quite a long while. The clouds were so black it about went from daylight to nighttime in two minutes flat. The rain started and just didn't stop. As you can imagine driving home that night was (sarcasm mode) "real fun".

But yesterday although it wasn't a storm like last week the rainfall was even worse! The drains on the roads on the way home were totally overloaded, so as well as there being nearly ankle deep water on the round it was starting to turn a nice brown color. And when the water starts to turn brown you tend to start looking straight ahead and think of anything else besides what it is your probably driving through at that point. the rain was also so heavy that I had the wipers on max speed and I could still barely see out of the windscreen. But then it got better. It started to mist up, so I had to put the heat on on maximum to keep the windscreen clear. So there I was driving through ankle deep water containing goodness knows what, sweating like a pig from the heaters which I had to turn on, I could barely see out the windscreen and there were the usual complete Muppets who were driving around like lunatics and like they had no idea what the middle peddle in a car is for. Then just when I thought it couldn't get any more ridiculous the weather report comes on the radio;

" There's a small chance of very light rain showers this evening"

Seriously do the weather men ever, ever stick their head out the windows before reading the weather! On the other hand is that there was their idea of light rain, I really don't want to be around when whatever they consider heavy rain turns up!

On the plus side with all this Heavy rain Engineseer is a lot safer in his new digs then his last house. Mainly because if his new house ever floods if he would have bigger problems. Because the rest of the geektown would have to disappear beneath the waves before the water gets to his house.

Scrubs starts again at the end of this month. Yaaaa!!! Not so Ya though is that channel 5 are apparently bringing back 'big love' soon. Just what we need on TV a programme reinforcing the old stereotypes about the church. Winner!!

Engineseer was doing his bit on Sunday to try and promote this years YSA conference. He's gone and printed a load of forms off and gave them out with pre addressed envelopes. Lets hope it succeeds in persuading some more people to come. I'm still not hearing good things about the number of people who have signed up.

anyway,

Later!
