Time for an Arc?
 
Well this latest batch of "Showers" have so far produced just over 1 1/2
inches of rain, and more due all through the night.
I've never seen so much water running down the track, in places it's
almost 6 inches deep.
Well they have put out a flood warning for us for today and tomorrow.
if the Temp. wasn't around 68f you could think it was winter.

It seems to have emptied it all on your side of the Bristol Channel.
We've had far less than was promised. At least you won't have to
water, yet again.

We are watering on a daily basis now, ground is bone dry. I can also tell
that I am going to have trouble sleeping tonight even with a large ceiling
fan.

Maybe a dictionary would be more appropriate, unless you are thinking of giving up gardening for metalwork perhaps?

I thought you might be pointing the way for the NG contributors in
France ("Arc en ciel"), and wishfully thinking that the sun might be
coming out.

Its the sort of thing thats very common nowadays, and is reflective of just how poor our education system appears to be.

A child like you may think so, but I was educated just after the war
when education WAS education, and we didn't get our heads filled with
the Bullshit you seem to have been taught.

Absolutely. Rather like the use/misuse/omission of the apostrophe.

Which makes it even more strange that your spelling seems akin to that of a product of our present day education system! As I guess most posters on here are probably in their 60-70s though, the poor spelling and grammer obviously isnt related to recent problems with the education system.

Don't trouble yourself with responding to this sort of nonsense, David.




Unless someone responds I don't see his posts and I would think that


applies to many of us.

Cant see how pointing out that thickos cant spell has much to do with trolling?

David,

Christopher Stevens (aka ken, Steerpike and about 50 other different
'handles) is a belligerent fool and well into his sixties - and his
education was rather scant for that period to say the least (bottom of the
class I believe). vbg

He is now the Number One troll of the Usenet groups he frequents - but he's
too dense to realise that!

Or maybe he's reverting back to childhood with age??
