Title: Please Stop Raining On Me Every Single Day Post by: Sark79 on December 14, 2006, 08:22:05 PM I am officially sick and tired of getting wet every time I step out of the house. For the last month I have gone through three sets of clothes per day, I have my early morning dog walking clothes which get wet, my work clothes which get soaked walking from the bus stop into the building and then I get as wet as a fish while taking my dogs a walk each evening.
Yesterday I bought a new jacket which is designed to withstand mega heavy rain storms and severe weather conditions. So tonight I put my jacket on and decided to test it out against the cold rain/sleet type wetness falling from the sky. I even verbally abused GOD before going outside by telling him " Come on Pal, let's see what you can do against my new jacket". All was going well and I was remaining 80% dry, then I noticed one of my dogs had lost his flashing light which attaches to his collar. I saw it had dropped down by a swampy area beside the path, as I reached down for it I lost my footing and fell into the muddiest and deepest part of the swamp and as a result lost one of my boots. I have spent the best part of the last hour hopping home wearing one boot and covered in thick mud, unfortunately there was a hen night on at one of the local clubs, my state of muddiness kept the people entertained seeing me hop past the window leaving a line of mud behind me. I have looked in the phone book for a contact telephone number for GOD, Daniel from BBC Weather or anyone else that may have an influence over the weather, but sadly I could only find a number for Jack Frost and he only does the Winter months.

The swamp thing sounds like it actually could have been a bit hairy. Title: Re: Please Stop Raining On Me Every Single Day Post by: TightEnd on December 14, 2006, 08:28:32 PM is it because you lied when you were seventeen?

Brilliant. rotflmfao Title: Re: Please Stop Raining On Me Every Single Day Post by: Sark79 on December 14, 2006, 08:35:49 PM I have experience of that swamp before, that's the second time I have fallen into it :D. I am annoyed as I lost one of my boots which are my favorite boots for keeping my feet warm and dry in winter >:( . I had a look but it was so dark and rainy that it was impossible to see anything, by the morning it will probably be gone. There is a high crime rate where I stay and the local Squirrels run a profitable business selling lost boots, jackets and hats on ebay.

Title: Re: Please Stop Raining On Me Every Single Day Post by: CelticGeezeer on December 14, 2006, 09:57:23 PM Lol that's right, you sure that you didn't have a fish in you mouth when you surfaced in the swamp. : rotflmfao

Now the water proof coating on my skin doesn't work as well. By the way, look out for 'Penguin week' starting on one of the TV channels next week Title: Re: Please Stop Raining On Me Every Single Day Post by: RED-DOG on December 14, 2006, 10:00:55 PM is it because you lied when you were seventeen? ;tightend; ;tightend; ;tightend; Too good Tighty, too good!

LOL, made me laugh so much... the image of you falling in the mud. I know I shouldn't laugh at others misfortune but this time I couldn't help it. Thanks for the giggle Sark ;) |
