worse thing was, its was in the middle of a bloody great thunder storm, that lasted for a poxy hour


got soaked through to the bone, as i didnt wanna sit in the car as it steamed up, so couldnt see what was behind me, so i stood in the fucking thunder storm

in shorts and t-shirt too, i didnt have a coat in the car

Usually if you open a window it stops the rest of the windows stemaing up - so what i wanna know is - just how the flock would the windows have steamed up when the biggest window in the car was open?

Hang on.......

didnt want the windows open as it was PISSING IT DOWN
so i stood in the fucking thunder storm
The problem was that you didnt want to sit in the car and get alittle wet with the window open, so you went and stood outside the car instead?!

worded it a bit wrong


didnt want to sit in the car as it was steamed up , so didnt want to have the windows open to get inside wet but the front window hadnt popped through so i put a cover over it just in case, wasnt actually arsed about getting wet so i stood out side anyway
