[Misc] The rain and you

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

Don't mind it if I've prepared adequately.

Went to Blackburn for the game that got called off hours before kick off, ended up standing in the open terrace at Accrington Stanley. We very quickly realised it was a mistake when the heavens opened.. That was a long, cold and wet journey home!

Only negative about rain is if I’m out on the motorcycle. It’s the cleaning not the riding that I don’t like.

Quite a strange thing to get angry about. I go to work on the bus. Most nights I get off a stop early and get a cuppa and fresh fruit for the night shift ahead of me.
If it’s raining, I will pop the brolly so that when I get to a 15 hour night shift I don’t spend the first few hours sitting in wet clothing. I can only apologise that this has angered you

If I’m just out walking for enjoyment and it rains, I don’t mind getting wet at all. I’ll poke up with most things if there’s a warm shower, a hot meal and a cold pint at the end of it.

That's fine,I accept your apology.

There's a time and a place to enjoy rain.
If I'm going out for a meal/gig/cinema/similar, I shall use an umbrella/shelter to avoid feeling uncomfortable during whatever I was about go and enjoy.
Similarly, if I am on my way to work, I do not wish (nor do I enjoy) working in soggy clothing - again, an umbrella/shelter will be used.
If I'm sitting in a field at a festival, relaxing on the beach or playing sports, I couldn't give a shit.
Love how someone can have actual arguments over the use of umbrellas - that's hilarious.

Skin is waterproof but not watertight.

One of my misses favourite sayings, skin is waterproof. We often go for walks in the rain..

Right answer (and the basis for some great songs - Joe Cocker and Ronnie Lane were both plumbers)

Well, seeing as he's 80 today. Happy Birthday Bob.

That Cardiff game. F*** me.

Oh come on - surely you had your free plastic KKK costume with you ? Whimp.

Mine says “ you won’t dissolve “

I’ll often say “ we’re not made of salt”. However I’m also not made of stupid, so if I’m having a beer outside and it starts to rain, I’ll go indoors.

Not so keen on it in this country, but I can remember a thundery day on hols in Mexico one year. I was on the sun lounger round the pool, it was stinking hot and I'd been in and out of the pool all day cooling down. Then a storm came over, the heavens opened and we were treated to a rainstorm of truly BIBLICAL proportions. With warm rain hammering down nearly everyone scattered for the foyer but I stayed out in it. Went back into the pool for a bit, came back out, fetched a beer from the bar and went back to the sun lounger and sat there supping it in rainfall that meant you could barely see your hand in front of your face. Even all the iguana's sloped off into the bushes. The doris thought I was mad, and "we're already all wet anyway" wasn't cutting it.

In fairness we needed dry towels so it was quite handy when she went in, and the storm blew over in less than half an hour, replaced by a baking sun again. Just reading this back makes me realise how much I miss Mexico.

Sigh.

The Friday night Rochdale game was wetter.

It certainly was a big soaking and we lost 4-3 right at the end didn't we (probably why I've tried to erase the memory)

Oh come on - surely you had your free plastic KKK costume with you ? Whimp.

THOSE things. Looking like a bedraggled racist condom wasn't high on my list of priorities.

Mine says “ you won’t dissolve “

I used to work outside a lot and my mate's saying was 'I'm not made of sugar'.

Can't beat a good storm though can you

I dont mind rain but storms are a other matter.
I'm convinced the lightning is going to hit me so I tend to look for the nearest shelter that most resembles a nuclear bunker.

Novices, Oldham away my clothing was still wet having driven back with the heater on in the car.
Barnet and Bournemouth away also but obviously shorter distances home.
