Balpin Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 heatwave in March, the the first time since 1999, only this one lasted several days longer. Then a very bad April. Then, a great May, very warm for weeks. Now, a very bad June. it's six of one and half a dozen of the other, this one. Not a bad summer at all really and it's not over yet. It has not started yet, we are only day 2, and people are writing it off already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buck Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 You lot are very good at going off topic,i thought this thread was about the weather..Beggar the topic. If the English ever had weather fit to live in, they would have nothing to talk about except football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would, we would talk about how crap americans are, and how they dont deserve such a great country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So explain to me how a country gets to be great without the people who inhabit it. Without them its just another place with mountains, meadows, lakes, and streams, nicer and more grand than most. You are a descendent of a great country which despite its small size somehow managed to civilize half the world. You obviously had no part of that, being of the new Britain, full of trollers who arrive in SF for a few months then disappear to spoil another forum.

janie48 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 Beggar the topic. If the English ever had weather fit to live in, they would have nothing to talk about except football. The weather is a far more superior topic though. Its an art in communication in Britain,and in order to be skilled at it you must know the correct expressions to use. Foreign visitors new to the English language are advised to know this,if they want to fit in.

callippo Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Fawlty is cowering in Devon like the English slimeball he is, far from the Tamar front line of Cornish nationalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
