Its raining like mad here in Houston today ... streets flood and silly drivers in their Ford trucks try to go swimming and end up on the TV floating away... Left Scotland myself to live in the SUN but what we have is inches of Rain in an hour or so, Heat and Humidity all at once oh and the midges are just as annoying !

It makes for great fun driving if you have a LR... we just dont want any Hurricanes this year Smile

Cheers,

Adrian

Well what a day of rain. We have had several bulletins today informing us of river closures. I feel sorry for the folks who have hired boats from us and have had to endure the deluge. We have come home tonight and boy have we needed a 4x4. The water running from the fields we have never seen the likes ever. The water in lanes was well up to the bumper on the d2, you don't think Envoy would take the RRS out in this do you. Rolling Eyes

and its June Shocked no regrets!
ONE LIFE LIVE IT.

loads of roads closed on the way home, plus with only 300yards to go to get home I had to turn around and take a 3 mile diversion as the road was flood was just too deep (I was in my van)

New Zealand 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Zermatt Silver

A major flood hit on Monday evening .

Epicentre: Rotherham, England.

News of the disaster was swiftly carried abroad by the town's 35,000 racing pigeons, as victims were seen wandering around aimlessly muttering "fookinhell" and "chuffinnorah".

The flood decimated the town, causing £30 worth of damage. Several priceless collections of mementos from the Balearic Isles and the Spanish Costa's were damaged beyond repair. Three areas of historical burnt out cars were disturbed.

Many locals were woken well before their Giro arrived. Radio station RotherFM reported that hundreds of residents were confused and bewildered, still trying to come to terms with the fact that something interesting had happened in Rotherham. One resident, 15 year old mother of 3, Tracy Sharon Braithwaite said: "It was such a shock, my little Chardonnay-Madonna came running into my bedroom crying. The twins, Tyler-Morgan and Megan-Storm slept through it all. I was still shaking when I was watching Kilroy the next morning". Locals were determined not to be bowed, as looting, muggings and car crime carried on as normal.

So far, whilst the British Red Cross has managed to ship 4000 crates of Sunny Delight to the area to relieve the suffering of stricken locals, rescue workers searching through the rubble have found large quantities of personal belongings including, benefit books, jewellery from Elizabeth Duke at Argos, and bone china from Pound-stretcher.

Can You Help?

Please respond generously to our appeal for food and clothing for the victims of this disaster.

Clothing is needed most of all, especially:
· Fila or Burberry baseball caps
· Kappa tracksuit tops (his or hers)
· Shell suits (female)
· White sports socks
· Rockport boots or any other product sold in Primark


Culturally sensitive food parcels are harder to put together, but your efforts will make a difference.

Microwave meals, tinned baked beans, ice-cream and cans of Colt 45 or Special Brew are ideal.


Please do not give anything that requires peeling.

Remember:
· 22p buys a biro for filling in compensation claims
· £2 buys chips, crisps and a blue fizzy drink for a family of 9
· £5 will pay for a packet of B&H and a lighter to calm a child's nerves

Urgently required: Tinned whippet food. Bones for Jack Russells

Please do not send tents for shelter. The sight of such posh housing will cause residents to beleive they have been forcebly relocated to Sheffield. If you dont live on the EDGE, you are taking up too much space!!!!!!!!!!!!!
