It just seem's to have carried on raining since last summer up here. Think i'm right on saying it's been the wettest back to back summer's on record. Bring on winter it can only get better lol

So long as the weather is good on Sundays I'm happy, that's when I work on my car out in the sun, and this year I spent a fair bit of time on the car on Sundays, so must have been okay??

it makes reference to people who look loaded and buy expensive clothes but actually cant afford underwear as well.

being as you are from a posh area and are too tight to buy a house in the same area i made a comparison.


hope this helps

us northern blokes have silly moustaches so when southerners come up here on the pull they can easily see that the difference between men and women up here is a lot more,not like down south where its a bit a blur,so its a bit of an idiots guide really

no read the post properly,its a guide for you southern muppets as you`re used to southern `men` looking like women,which explains why you have no trouble spotting the difference cos there aint none

It gets dark too early though and I don't like getting up at the crack of dawn in order to get a decent day's sunlight whereas in the summer could work until 9-10pm with full light.

Stupid autumn/winter months!
