It's a downpour!

indeed its raining as im writing this. the last few days have been really horrible. stupid global warming.

YOU DON'T GET TO TALK! i live here..it get up to 50 oon the nasty days (like maybe 2 or 3 times a summer)

Urm. Where is that awful place? [Sorry, no harm meant, but I absolutly HATE heat]

that is not a problem. the fact that i hate heat is a problem

Ha....we get snow in scotland

Its rain and hightides over here. A storm pushed up the water level 10 meters. The same storm 'hit' the UK somewhere didn't it? where there any troubles over there?

i hate that stuff. i woke up yesterday it was white outside, i went back to bed. luckily when i woke up again it was mostly gone thanks to the rain. stupid snow. *shudders* we get waaay too much here for my taste...

lmao 10meters lol, r country wd be submerged u fool!, 1meter would like carve kilometers off the coast,
the tides are predicted to rise by 30cm by 2030 wich wud cover a massive portion of the coast,
i think that 30times that wud be noticeable
haha

less of the personal comments please. and have you ever heard of such a thing as waves? they can get to huge hights...and the netherlands is pretty low to start off with.

Damn!!!!! Every time I go home it waits until i leave to snow! I haven;t seen snow in F***k**g years! if you dont want it send it to me!

what personal comments? I dont get it, there were no personal comments

Ha extreme weather huh? You haven't been to where I live, it is mildly sunny almost EVERYDAY! And if the sun is struggling to get past the slightly gray clouds, we might even be in for a light drizzle! And when that happens we have to batten down the hatches for the light breeze that will enevitably come skipping down menacingly from the hills...

you north or south island?
is it really like brotown says it is?

I live in Marlborough, top of the South Island.
And no its not really like Bro'town portrays the country except in a very extreme wacked out kind of way.
Bro'town is basically New Zealand's answer to the Simpsons but done very badly...
All the jokes about the Maori, Islander and racism against Asians and other immigrants are out of proportion, although you would easily hear New Zealanders complaining about how badly they drive xD

I didn't find the show to show much racism. I liked it. I shall choose to belive it's all true. Jeff-the-maouri with his 17 dads and all. makes NZ sound cooler...though the fact that some of your bats have taken to walking is also cool. how does it get during summer that ways? you get to 50 or only low 40's?

Yea, Jeff and his 17 dads is one of the more accurate jokes they have, which is kind of sad if you think about it too hard =(

which is why I only think nard, not too hard.
you guys in drought too or is it just over here?

Marlborough is one of the most prone places to drought in NZ but we're fine so far, its mostly late summer we don't get enough rain. Lucky us hmm?

damn...here its years of drought

Yes I've heard about that, I bet its an intensely political issue at the moment too.

oh, it's nasty. restrictions keep going up and ads for water ocnservation are rampant

That sounds similar to when we were undergoing a drought. We rely mostly on water power from our dams and so when theres a drought the NZ public get bashed over the head with energy conservation ads haha

they have it here for global warming

heuh, 10 meters is a bit to much indeed. its probably the difference between low tide and the bigest measured sea level. But there was an extremly high tide!

edit: no 10 meter would still be to much, dunno where I got that number from. The highest measured sea level was 420cm NAP, wich is 420 centimeters above the avarage sealevel in the Netherlands. (its a bit higher actually)

Rain?!!?

and global warming??!!

its been cold and really cold today and it hasnt rained in agges

i like snow, whoop...

Ang

it's cold cos of global warming

that's only because you guys don't get as much.

sez u. I wish for snow

The more i see, the less i know, the more i like to let it go. hey ho.

if there is a god, (and let's hop eof rthe sake of my pride there isn't) he* will see to it you arepunished for that

is the word ofr god msculine or is history sexist?

Heat in NZ? Wow. That never happened when I was there...Global warming indeed.

And yea, Ratty, send us a bit if you don't like the snow!

i shall. *goes to tell snow to b*** off to israel*

ahem send it where it's needed

i don't care who gets it. i can send some to you, too. as long as it goes away. we got a good inch today!!

kk, sp did what i wanted to do (after school, because i didn't realize it was gonna be too dark then): take a picture. so this is what it looks like at the moment.

I would SO love that.

you can not imagine what that's like for me

15/11/07 7:45pm:
6cm/2.36inches of snow

around noon i had to go and get my car from the garage and had to walk about 2 km through a wood and we had a "downpour" of snow. I was looking like a snow(wo)man when i reached the garage but it was absolutely awesome!!!!

yeah, i've been feeling a lot like a polar rat lately. only not as warm and fluffy....

I warn you! I have a bag of freon and I'm not afraid to use it!

what's freon?

it's a substance they use to help cool down (freeze) water when they make like ice rinks and stuff. also some ppl use it as a snorting drug...bad idea...nasty stuff happens

and what exactly do you want to use it for?

to make my own snow to rival yours

you can have ours once i have taken a photo of it

you better ship that stuff fed ex

cash on delivery?

i told some of it to go to israel and some to go to oz. but it wouldn't move. sorry.

You could try pouring pink paint on it. That'll eventually create a big enough explosion and maybe some will get blown this way. Always works, pink paint.

i shall try. but i'd have to be careful, it would probably etch my skin...
