Storm Eunice

Looks like parts of Aus. near George @Bealman are getting flash floods today.

Yeah, it's pretty wet here at the moment. Raining quite heavily as I write this, actually! 

Too wet, too dry, you lot are never 'appy. You're like British farmers!

Keep your feet dry bloke!

I'm not yet although I have been canvassing for funds to be one

Well, you've made a good start, there seemed to be plenty of canvas there.

Pfff. Bloomin' fair weather sportsmen.

That's what I reckon.

That's what I reckon. 

About 25 years ago, ish, I used to do an awful lot of clay pigeon shooting. We're talking 3 out of 4 weekends at a local club. There was a good little group of 6-8 of us who went round together with all sorts of mickey taking and abuse and trying to put each other off. Whatever the weather, we were there. Including once when it was coming down like stair rods. It was that wet only about 30% of the clays would come out of the trap intact. If you had two 'No birds' in a row you had to tip your barrels down to empty the water out. We eventually quit half way through the round as we were the only club members out, there was a risk of doing costly water damage to the guns, and also the increasingly dangerous risk of water in the barrels causing too much pressure build up on cartridge detonation leading to bulging a barrel, splitting a barrel, breech bursts or other such things, which could potentially maim or kill.

Looking back through more mature eyes, we were crackers, verging on idiots.

Let's just say you were keen

you could send some of that south of the border, we could do with it.

I read that as "NORTHERNERS YOU WILL NEED YOUR BIG GOAT". 

[Bealman]

So did I on first glance. Then I thought it's not that far-fetched 

[guest311]

I'm getting worried 

today is dry and sunny, so far, calm with maybe just a light breeze....

could this be the lull before the storm

I can't see any grass ?

[Newportnobby]

@Bealman I guess when that freezes you'll be out there practising your curling

If the weather we have at the moment is moving eastwards, then I would say yes.
