    Floods

    Went for a run this morning from Waikanae bridge down to Otaihanga domain. The river was in flood and at some points up to my chest. Otaihanga is a lake. I have not seen anything quite like it. Paekakariki rd, Haywards, Greys rd are closed. Takas has had a big slip too. This BS weather is really starting to piss me off. I reckon Microsoft are controlling the weather so more people will buy Xboxes.

    Probably presages (is that the right word? Is it in fact a word? What is the meaning of life? Are all teabags round? Do the railways still sell pies? Do steamrollers roll steam? Do.. ah....What?!? where was I?!?)
    Probably presages the release of that new MicroSlob game - "Global Warming".
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Having a day of it are you.... what you need is to get out on the bike and get away from it.... Never mind - if I get the new job I'm looking at I'll see if I can't get you hired too....

    Saw the Otaihanga domain this morning... um... what domain... Never seen it that bad before... Yup... couldn't get to work either, gave up at Mackays, 'luckily' I have cable (the boss knows about it ) so I can work from home Sigh.

    It's frecking raining again and I hear Paekak has crapped itself, the Rimutakas have a big slip and most of the roads I went on towards Woodville the other day have gone...

    What is going on ? Global warming ? Predictions for our part of the globe are mostly about wetter conditions year round... so break out the scuba gear and be prepared to swim home.

    Lucky I don't live a a flood prone area, oh wait, I do ... Hope it stops raining soon coz I don't want to get my feet wet

    Sedge.

    That sucks real bad, I'm wanting to go down south on saturday and It starting to look like I need to trade my bike in for a boat. Hopefully it will have cleared up a bit by then.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    At this rate a set of tyres will last me all year. This is the reason the holiday road toll is so low, nobody went away for hols due to the crap weather and if they did it was overseas.

    Yeah. It's all good though.

    Well, I was thinking about riding with Matthew, Mike and Steve for a bit this morning (assuming they'd give me a bit), but it was drizzly, dribbly, and uninviting.
    So here I am at 'work' again.:sly:

    I have to leave this one soon, before it leaves me bereft of what little commonsense and spelling I have left. Or right.

    Jeez, just cos you're a pom doesn't mean ya HAVE to whinge.

    It's called weather.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Whinge, whinge, whinge.

    At this rate Transpower could stick a wind turbine outside your house and power the Kapiti coast.

    The previous two posts have been brought by, "Random Attack JIm", because he has no bike and the Insurance company STILL haven't paid.

    Oh, and I organised the floods btw.

    Oh goodie.
    Could you organise a flood to wash our house away down the hill, so's I don't have to continue to maintain it?

    Yeah I do, it's in my genes. But you think I whinge, in UK there's a whinging club and all they do is meet up in a pub and complain about the beer, the prices, the fact that their evening has been interrupted.
