We are getting four seasons in one day down here. No, not the insipid Crowded House AOR tune.

The other day I was sat in the garage playing games and stuff with the back door open, and the sun was out. Suddenly, in the space of a few minutes, the sky blackened over, wind picked up and temperature dropped, and it started hailing with hailstones that got progressively larger up to the size of marbles. Half way through my old man phoned me from a pub he was in about 3 miles away and passed the phone around the pub so people could hear the noise of the hailstones hitting my garage roof. Then before you knew it the sun was back out again.

Water has started pissing through the ceiling here at the office, they're sending us home.

Get. In.

Haha, I hate this rain as much as the next person but watching Tesco employees holding umbrellas up in the main entrance so their customers didn't get absolutely soaked by the poor drainage on the building was priceless.

What makes it slightly more amusing is that the building is barely a year old. Who designs these engineering 'masterpieces'?

I had a hearty lol at smokers getting drenched. Poor saps, I'd just smoke in the bog, no way they'd make me go outside.

Put a fiver on an accumulator on the golf today on 7 of the 3balls.

If I got them all, I would win £254, 6 have won already and the final one is for Tiger Woods to win his group and he has been playing awful! Needs something extra special on the last 4 holes to do it. Cant believe the one that'll prob let me down is Tiger!

Gah! Is anyone else having a really boring summer? Some of my mates are working full time and it's harder to get ones that don't work together - aside from that the weather's not too great and I've got a cold from going skins at footy last night!

Had a good few sessions with a mate on Gear (co-op) over the last two days though !

I know what you mean mate, Summer is pretty dull for me too with friends working and me travelling about for interviews (new job awaits hopefully). But hey, it's Friday night and I'm going to sink some brewskies and write a song with my friend about a bus company that hires eagles to drive their buses.

Best not to ask really!

[AngelsInFlight]

Sounds bang on mate! I've got a party invite but it's going to be full of pretencious fools that my friends and I don't really want to spend in the company of which.

It's getting a bit late now, so I'll either stay in or... Stop the post! A friend of mine who sits before me playing GRAW has just alerted me we'll be out to a mates to have a Rocky (film) marathon!

Can anyone honestly remember it being any wetter? I certainly can't.

What if this doesn't stop and carries on all the way through until October (and then winter kicks in again anyway)? WTF

[Jebus]

Not this time of year no, I honestly can't.

We've not had one BBQ yet and I can tell you, that is just not on.

[dataDave]

I don't really care about the weather but I'm getting the winter blues already. FFS

[Emir]

I like the rain personally. It is weird for this time of year.

[Crimson Day]

Strange all of your rain its been gorgous down here all week VIVA LA DEVON

I sooooo wish I hadn't had as much Vodka as I have had before seeing that.
