    we just need rain... and some wind. Cold weather...

    It's warm... the weather is not too bad...

    It's warm and comfortable to be outside when you're not really putting your point of view across, and just want a ruck.

    People with a PURPOSE... a pure intention.. they'll stick it out if the weather turns...... but few thousand bored delinquents all round the UK with sod all to do, fancying a ruck.......?

    If it rains.. and rains hard.. and it's a bit windy.. a nice biting wind... and if it does it for 4 days in a row.. non stop...

    then we'll see how many of the rioter's really intend to put their point across.

    Forgetting the obvious rain helping damp down a fire or too.... it'll put out a few inner fires too I think

    Pray for rain people....


    Weirdly it'll solve it.

    That'll be why we've not had any riots with us. It's been misserable for the past 5 days or so.

    Nice and wet up north, no riots either.... I think it's a clear example of how nice weather causes rioting

    Re: we just need rain... and some wind. Cold weather...

    unbelievably miserable in Manchester today.

    Plus I got smashed last night and have been having to try to work with a... headache. Yes, that's the word I'm looking for. Headache. Combined with the weather, I'm not in a great mood...

    It is a lovely day here in Surrey, however our Server Team has just taken down our main FSMO Role holder making several systems fail which we knew nothing about!

    How I love communication within the NHS.

    I've been saying for the last couple of days, we should blast some Rick Astley music out into the streets, or maybe some Air. Something fun or relaxing that'll get everyone to chill the **** out.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    It's about time we had a proper revolution. Not just some bored kids smashing things up. Nothing acheived except pissing people off. What a country...
