Just make room for the unicorns, this time!

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

My computer beat me at chess, but I won at kickboxing

I can get two of every animal if required... just think you need a bigger boat though. And this time we can't forget the unicorns!

I'm all in favour of unicorns but I'd be really grateful if you could forget the following:

cockroaches
mosquitoes and other bitey midges
tsetse flies
poisonous snakes (unless absolutely necessary to maintain the eco-system)
big poisonous spiders (ditto)
termites
fleas
wasps
march flies
centipedes (particularly the giant nasty poisonous ones)

and generally anything else that's icky but not absolutely essential for maintaining the world's eco-system.

Ta ever so.

Here, want some sun to dry it up? I can ship it over to you.

While we're on the subject of weather pet peeves, how about when it clouds over, gets blustery and humid, maybe dribbles a little, and then leaves? I like a good storm, I just hate when the weather fakes me out.

Have not had a good storm for ages....

<sending yesterday's thunderstorm to Martin>

Anybody else need some? How about a nice wind storm?

I have to edit this to say that I'm not complaining about the rain. We definitely need it.

However, I can do without the wind.

Global warming. Moo. Wind.

feh.
And here, I thought it was just part of New Mexico life.

When I were a boy it was just called weather.

Then they called it el Nino, now it is global warming. Meh.

Just seen the Lancashire Evening Post headline for yesterday, Saturday the 7th of July and it said 'More rain misery for Lancs'

Yeah.

I like rain, it's what wellies were invented for but I confess I'm glad we don't have it this side of the Penines as bad as it is the ohter side,,,they don't make house size wellies and we have some books downstairs...

I'm fine with downpours, sprinkles and the Localized "splash and dash" rain.
but I'm nearly phobic about lightning when it comes packaged with loud-ringing-house-shaking thunder.Gets worse when the electricity goes out during all that...

I'm also fine with wind if it doesn't cause the weather people to interrupt my shows and tell me their might be a slight chance that a tornado could form somewhere with in a thousand mile radius of the state I live in. especially at night.

Weatherwarmongers the whole lot of them. and don't get me started about Hurricanes....these "experts" guess that sooo many of these things are suppose to be formed and get everyone into a panic about the " worst hurricane season ever!" every year.Only for them to "change" their predictions half-way though the season to reflect the way it turned out.

really how many other jobs can you change your prediction once half the results are in?

by the way...I've been convicted of Gramatical Homicide, and charged 18 years to life, so don't bother telling me about all the spelling mistakes. It's already on my record.

I generally quite like thunder storms from the saftey and comfort of my house (as long as I always remember to switch everything off!) The down side is the 8 stone of panting golden retriever which tends to smother the nearest human! The time I don't like them is when I am on a pony with metal shoes... tend to try to get off and home asap!
I hope no one has been too badly affected by the rain down south here, I feel so sorry for everyone affected, sometimes I am glad I live in a hilly part of a hilly country.

I LOVE thunder and lightning. If we get a really good storm and there's not much traffic about of an evening, I rather enjoy sitting in the middle of the road to watch so as not to have all those trees getting in the way of the view. The accompanying rain doesn't bother me either, if there's lightning.
When there is lightning and NO rain however, I tend to go inside where it's safer...

Kitten: Capital plans. Wish we had storms more often.

MartinB: try living in the Blessed Isles of Britland - you'd develop webbed feet, like those of us who do (live here, that is).

This time last year I was living on the Costa del Sol and chuckling up my sleeve about the wonderful Britland 'summer'. The Spanish made me leave - they have strict rules against sleeve chuckling.

Mind you, it was sunny and warm for most of the day in the south east. Made up for this evening by dumping a year's worth of rain in about an hour.

I do not mean just rain, I mean proper highveld summer thunderstorms. Lovely days and then a couple hours of a brilliant display of natural pyrotechnics and then nothing again until the next day.

Ah, yes - I understand. I've not seen the South African version but have certainly see the Spanish version.

There's nothing like sitting on a covered porch, drinking a glass of vino (or 6), watching the heavens do their thing. Dancing lightening, followed by explosive thunder - and it's still hot enough to sit in t-shirt and shorts.
