Unusual I know:rolleyes:

Its lashing outside and I love it. I fcuking love the rain. I love been out in the rain, no not singing…walking. A lot of people I know won’t budge outside if its raining.Am I the only one likes walking in the rain?.
The only thing that pisses me off is the flooding. Don’t they clean the drains in this country. The poor sod down the road from me ,got flooded out last year ,his house was destroyed. At the moment he has a small lake around his house ,hope he’s not hit again. Although lots of drivers seem to see the floods as an opportunity to give pedestrians a good soaking.

Also it cleans the streets of filth;)

People are ringing the Defence Forces looking for assistance, but until we're requested by the civil authorities (councils etc) or civil powers (Garda) we can not assist with sand bags etc.

At present we've troops out searching for a member of the public swept into the Liffey.

Simply put, people in distress must for ring their local council - if they require a rescue they must ring 112 (999) because we're powerless until the civil authorities (or powers) request it.

rain is grand (im used to living in ireland) but when it gets to the point where theres dangerously big puddles (bordering on flooding in places) on the road which will cause car crashes then i start to dislike it.

i also saw some poor bastard earlier get absolutely soaked by a passing bin lorry. this was like a wave at the sea side. i must admit it was funny though ..

Beats wind I suppose.

Cill Dara Abu · 24-10-2011 05:14PM

Don't mind the rain unless it gets so bad that car start aqua plaining dangerously.

As long as the snow stays away this winter I don't care.

G_R · 24-10-2011 05:16PM

I do love soaking pedestrians...

kfallon · 24-10-2011 05:16PM

Love playing football in the rain so looking forward to the game later on

Other than that I fooking hate the stuff :mad:

Chuck Stone · 24-10-2011 05:17PM

Anything but that mild mushroom soup type weather.

Rain...it's The Bees.

It's raining for the first time in maybe 4 or 5 months here in Madrid today and people are overjoyed. Madrid suffers from a massive pollution problem and when you fly out of the airport, you see a thick layer of it covering the city. We needed this rain badly to wash that ****e away...but the rain tasted and smelled disgusting because of it and I came home with a smokers cough from inhaling it. Rain keeps Dublin's skies clean and it adds a bit of variation to the weather. Clear blue skies every-bleedin'-day gets on your tits after a while (I know, I know....gawd love me...)

And no weather small talk in Spain, which is a pain in the arse, frankly. "Very hot today, isn't it?"..."Eh of course it feckin' is you fool!".

Chris P. Bacon · 24-10-2011 05:22PM

There is nothing better than sitting in a pub with a real fire blazing,and looking out at the rain.

the groutch · 24-10-2011 05:22PM

just a warm-up for the snow

jester77 · 24-10-2011 05:23PM

Can't say I miss the Irish rain, was home recently and it did nothing but rain. Couldn't even go out for a walk

whubee · 24-10-2011 05:24PM

FREE CAR WASHHHHH!!!!
woohoo - laziness prevails.

Wattle · 24-10-2011 05:40PM

I don't mind walking in light rain but I don't like getting soaked through.

But it never does anything but rain, hardly variation :P Gets more on my tits than the sun ever could

EggsAckley · 24-10-2011 05:59PM

Sure its a grand soft day

foxyboxer · 24-10-2011 06:02PM

I'm going to get soaked later.

Glenster · 24-10-2011 06:06PM

Take that wet plebs!

At the moment I'm trying to get into shape and get fit. I love running and I love the rain. The one thing I want to do is go running in the rain. I'm thinking about doing it later.

Give me Ireland any day over a land-locked desert.

The weather is unreal, you should see the traffic on the tallaght bypass, its mental..

Muckie · 24-10-2011 06:26PM

Tis nice, keeps the weiner kids in doors :pac:

Cianos · 24-10-2011 06:36PM

The moans and groans are saturating Facebook now.

alwaysadub · 24-10-2011 06:39PM

I don't mind rain, but i hate floods. Car is bad enough as it is without having to drive through floods. In saying that, i've been sick and haven't been outside the door since Wednesday so this bout of flooding doesn't bother me. Unless it's still like this tomorrow..

thebaz · 24-10-2011 06:39PM

i hate rain - days like today and yesteday actually make me depressed - i don't mind cold, i like the seasons - but 2 days of grey skies and torrential makes me very bleak

snubbleste · 24-10-2011 06:43PM

The grass is sooooo green

whubee · 24-10-2011 06:46PM

water charges. why.

Wibbs · 24-10-2011 06:46PM

Feck this. I'm going to the zoo with a big truck and then building a boat. God told me it's not gonna get better...

FatherLen · 24-10-2011 07:06PM

there seems to be a large river like body of water forming outside my house?

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
