Anyone taking bets on the Olympics being sunny and dry for the weeks of the event ?

Then right back to rain again ?

Ha yea, UK is pretty much designed around boring weather, soon as there is sun for more than a week we have a drought, if it rains heavy for a few hours we flood and if it snows for a day everything stops

And every year they say "We're prepared for it this time"

It only normally rains twice though: Once for five months of the year & once again for seven months of the year. It's even wetter in Wales. I blame the mountains.

Jesus, it's probably the crappiest summer I ever had here in Germany as far as I can remember/want to remember. :|
I feel for my fellow Britons, it says something when even my rain proofed friends start being so "unbritish" and complain. :laugh:

No seriously, summer needs to replace fall right now here inthese parts of Europe.
NOW.

You've never lived up in the Hamburg area, have you? Otherwise you wouldn't call this 'the crappiest summer I ever had here in Germany'. :shifty:
