Re: weather??
 

..............ok, sorry................friendly (but very dirty) banter that concentrates on Loz and Diesels bedroom activities?

Re: weather??
 

Roy are you trying to make me look worse than i am!!
And emma the honeymoon is for an indefinite period of time so there could be more filth yet!
Can't believe our bedroom activities have come into the weather thread now!!

Re: weather??
 

sowwy Loz :punsure: :signntme:

Re: weather??
 

Wait while the agony aunts get hold of it.
Loz and Diesel have a wonderful time and I hope your marrage is as complete and loving as mine has been.
Good health to the pair of you. :)

Re: weather??
 

Thank you Roy!
And emma you are forgiven,i'm in a good mood!;)

Re: weather??
 

And what may I ask, put you in such a good mood;)

Re: weather??
 

Alcohol and...?
i'm not saying any more or i could get in trouble!!:biggrin8:

Re: weather??
 

And today we have a warm gentle rain .... the old City looks green and lush .... the down side of all this is that the Buskers Festival is in town this weekend, and rain doesn't go well with sidewalk entertainment ....

Re: weather??
 

Doesn't look so gentle to me Eric, according to your webcam. Give us a wave if you go ... LOL.

:rolleyes::rolleyes: Looks like it's fined up now anyway .. not very busy is it though ?

Re: weather??
 

If you want crowds, they are on the other side of City Hall, on Ontario St., watching the buskers.:D

Re: weather??
 

Ok .. so got the wrong camera .. ah well, can't be perfect all the time.. :D
Hope it was a good day for the town's people anyway.

Has been good here today.

Re: weather??
 

A great day .... the running of the moose was fun (like the running of the bulls, but the moose are faster and deadlier) ... petting the grizzlies ... baby seal clubbing contest ... whale blubber eating contest .... good clean Canadian fun:D

Re: weather??
 

Huh ?? thought when you said buskers was going to be a plethora of street musicians... :confused:

Re: weather??
 

That too ... but Canadians can't resist the opportunity of some good, clean, dangerous fun (baby seal clubbing is not dangerous, but what Canadian can resist this form of recreation) .... did I mention the skunk petting zoo;)

Re: weather??
 

Eric...you have left yourself wide open for this one.
Two years ago I was in Pamplona for the running of the bulls.
Three 'Jack the Lads' from Canada dressed only in red thongs that left nothing to the imagination had the impression that the thongs would prevent a horn up the arse....wrong.
You have to be very brave or very stupid to attempt the bull run and these three characters....part drunk I might, add paid the penalty of having an extraction, and I don't mean teeth.
Leave it to the locals....they know best. :D

Re: weather??
 

No, but please don't mention this to Neil .. might swap them for the goat :eek:

Re: weather??
 

No way ... some 70 granny will pick one up and lift it's tail ....:rolleyes:

Re: weather??
 

Ah, my fellow countrymen, always up for a good time, crazy Canucks .... what can you expect from a nation that invented hockey .... :D

Very few people remember the 2nd Battle of Ypres in 1915, when the Germans used poison gas for the first time, Chlorine gas .... after the French legged it (developing a strategy they used to good effect in 1940) the crazy canucks of the First Canadian Division peed on their handkerchiefs, stuck them on their faces, and drove the Germans back at bayonette point .... after this, tangling with bulls, even if you are wearing only a thong the color of the Maple Leaf, is a piece of cake.;)

Re: weather??
 

well we have grey skies this morning, i hope it brightens up later, i have washing to put on the line :D

Re: weather??

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

We had arranged to go up to the lakes yesterday, to the South Lakes Wild Animal Park and then into Bowness for tea, after listening to the rain friday night and seeing it saturday morning we thought what the hell and went anyway, the further from Accrington we got, the sunnier it was, i must be the only person in Accy who burnt his head and face yesterday(who thought i`d need sunblock)...........does this raincloud just hang over Accrington then....?

Re: weather??
 

Well what do ya know...it never rained:eek:

Re: weather??
 

It was quite nice in the sun at one point this afternoon, got a bit windy though.

Re: weather??
 

It's meant to pick up a bit through the week...fingers crossed eh :)

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Rain here today, thank god. And it's monday, so who gives a rats ass. We have had a nice mix of sun and rain this year and the city looks green and luxuriant (as opposed to cold, white, and frigid, which doesn't come until November.);)

Re: weather??

Re: weather??
 

Wow -summer at last - got my air con machine running. :D

Re: weather??
 

Re: weather??
 

raining a little bit :) but not too much have to wait and see what happens next :D

Re: weather??
 

We had quite a storm here between 4 and 5 a.m. this morning. It was right overhead for about 15 minutes and damned loud. The rain started at about 4.30 and by 5 it was torrential. It had all cleared up by 8 and it's been a nice sunny day, though not as stifling hot as the last few days, until 5 o clock when thunder started rumbling around again but only a bit of rain.

Re: weather??
 

looks like the downpours are back!!:(

Re: weather??
 

We had one of the wettest July's on record .... but the up side of this is that the city looks lush and green, and the trees are doing espescially well .... it's like living in a forest in certain parts of the city.

For the next few days, hot and sunny, with the chance of an evening shower or thunderstorm .... temps will peak early next week in the low 30s, then, if the long range forcast holds, hovering around normal (25c) for the first part of August.

Re: weather??
 

So much for the Heavy rain we were supposed to be having:rolleyes:


not though im complaining!:D

Re: weather??
 

will someone please tell this rain to stop, i was planning riding to town on mi bike :(

Re: weather??
 

Very cold wind out there now, feels more like October than August

Re: weather??
 

We don't get a summer, just odd days. :(

Re: weather??
 

Well we wont be out popping pitch today will we!

Re: weather??
 

Is that it for summer?:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Would Appear Bernie, would appear:(

Re: weather??
 

Im getting fed up with all this rain................Its ruining my bloody garden, all me flowers are going soggy!!


And the kids are getting fed up!:(

Re: weather??
 

Me too ... we had the wettest July on record, and August is looking a little damp too ... but what the hell, the city is green and lush, the gardens look fantastic, as do the trees.

Re: weather??
 

What the hell is "popping pitch":confused::confused::confused: I really do wish you guys would learn English:hidewall:

Re: weather??
 

Re: weather??
 

I hate the rain makes my hair curly and none of my clients turn up ( i think some of them think they may melt)
I'm also intrigued by popping pitch!

Re: weather??
 

I'm thinking maybe its a reference to gas tar bubbles , years back when the tar would bubble up around the cobble stones during hot weather and the kids would 'pop' them ;)

Re: weather??
 

Could be ... I remember doing that, but I don't remember the term .... still:confused:

Re: weather??
 

Happen she's not from Accrington and area originally , you know how foreigners talk 'funny' and have different names for things :D :D

Re: weather??
 

Never thought of that .... maybe she is from out in the boonies, Hapton perhaps:D ... or 3 klicks south of East Bejesus!:eek:

Re: weather??
 

That is exactly what it refers to;)

Re: weather??
 

lol yes your right, and i am a foreigner, from Eccles, Manchester originally but in Helmshore now.
We used to come in as children covered in pitch when it was hot. It was impossible to get off our socks, cardies fingers, hair, it was disgusting stuff lol.

Re: weather??
 

Something else we used to be covered in in summertime as well was stickybobs. Does anybody remember those?
We would play in the fields, and it was a seed that curled up into a little ball and would stick to anything, little spikey things they were and impossible to get off, we used to throw them at each other and if one landed in your hair you had to wait till you got home so your mum could comb it out! You dont see them anymore, unless its coz im a grown up now and dont play out lol

Re: weather??
 

Eccles eh ..... home of the cakes?

Re: weather??
 

Stickybobs are still with us.They are alive and well - Growing by a stream in the Trough of Bowland.:alright:

Re: weather??
 

Yahhhhh!!!! Three cheers for stickybobs!!! something thats not been killed off by developement!
Arethey the tiny ones or the ones that are about half an inch when they are curled up?

Re: weather??
 

The Eccles Cake shop, the original one, is opposite the Norman Church on Church Street, its a lovely little church. There is a floral graden in remembrance of Diana just outside it now. The eccles cake shop is a deli. The name Eccles is derived from Eclesiastic, so when you have an eccles cake, you better say a prayer! lol

Re: weather??
 

surprise surprise we have rain YET AGAIN, was out on my bike again this afternoon, had a ride to Rishton and back, i thought it was going to pour down at one point but luckily we managed to avoid it, doesnt look like we will be riding anywhere for the next few days, its supposed to rain till Tuesday :(

Re: weather??
 

This weather is really starting to pee me off!!, my house looks like a ruddy laundrette with all the washing:(

Re: weather??
 

After a week of stormy unsettled weather, we a settling in for a spell of warm (25c) clear, sunny days, with cool clear nights. Great late summer weather, and a bonus for local farmers who will soon have to get the harvest in. And great weather for the annual Limestone City Blues Festival with Watermelon Slim, and the C.O.R.K. regatta .... This part of Lake Ontario offers some of the finest sailing conditions in the world.

Damn; I love where I live:D:D:D

Re: weather??
 

Raining cats and dogs again (aka stair rods) :(
One good outcome - I haven't used a carwash in months :)
always look on the bright side of life

Re: weather??
 

i was supposed to going out today with a friend, dont think we'll bother now!

Re: weather??
 

is it me or is it cold tonight? ive just put the heating on

Re: weather??
 

You can all hate me for this; but the weather here is great ... beautiful, clear, sunny days, cooling off nicely at night. And it looks like this will hold for a few days ... the only nasty thing in the near future is that US tropical storm ... even this far north we feel some of the effects.

Re: weather??
 

its been quite a bright afternoon in Blackburn Eric, went for another bike ride to Asda earlier and it was lovely, its gone really cold now though

Re: weather??
 

No,once again it's room temperature due to our heating being on all so called summer,just to dry the washing.:mad:Bring on you're price hikes i don't care so long as my smalls are aired:D

Re: weather??
 

If the days are nice, the cool nites don't bother me ... last nite was cool and clear, the stars were out in force and the moon was bright. I sat out on my deck, with a bottle of wine, and my telescope, plugged in my walkman, and had a great old time. Damnit, I love where I live;):D:D
