11:07.01bilarh_its fucking shite
11:07.05bilarh_i hate the british weather
11:07.14bilarh_i don't know what it is, but things have started to annoy me about britain
11:07.22bilarh_one of them is the abysmal weather
11:07.35bilarh_saturday was arguably good
11:07.40bilarh_but apart from that, it's been rain rain rain
11:08.52ElPenguinoh goddamn the shadow on this monitor is starting to piss me off
11:09.27yaargi like to think the british weather reflects the cold and harsh reality of real life
11:10.03yaargand it makes me appreciate the moments of sunshine we have all the more
11:10.14yaargand besides you can't make fun of nice weather so much
11:11.21ChoHagThere are far more interesting things to hate about Britain than the weather.
11:11.40yaargtrying saying it's horrible out when it's sunny - the irony just doesn't translate

11:16.37bilarh_i don't do subtle humour, only outrageous innuendos
11:16.48bilarh_or plain old rudeness :)
11:18.45ChoHagHumour?
11:18.49ChoHagI thought it was venting.
11:19.00dick_turpinbilarh_: Um? yes, not a fat lot more I can add to that
