does anyone remember that flash flooding about 4 years ago when there was literally a river running down brixton road? i remember cycling home and it was at least 15 inches deep on the road![]()

Yes, except it was two years ago![]()
wasnt that when that water main burst outside the prison?
You've drowned us all!rain threads merged
Maybe that was the same year, but the 'flash flood' was deffo 2 years ago. Look at the Youtube vid that BH pasted the link to.
i think possibly there was two floodings then - one two years ago and one four years ago. the video may be more recent, but i remember the cycling home experience was 4 years ago cos i was living just off tulse hill then.






Just popped out into the garden for a spliff and got fucking soaked for the second time this evening despite putting 2 hoodies on![]()

wasnt that when that water main burst outside the prison?

That's happened bigtime at least 3 times in the last 10 years. Which one do you mean?

We could make this thread last forever, minnie.
which downpour, which burst pipe, which riot, which hailstorm...
Forever!

Ooh, was the one 4 years ago the one with thunder and lightning when I was trapped on a hoppa bus silently putting my faith in John Faraday, as the lightning closed in on us?
I need to go to the shop.

Has it never occurred to you to go to the shop on your way home?
Or are you too busy popping into local pubs?![]()
Can you drop me some Stella pls..
It did but part of the reason I was soooo drenched was I went to M&S before getting on the bus and I just wanted to get home. I knew I should have but I was all laden with stuff and bedraggled.
Sorry. Missed this.
Well it would have been fine with closed toe shoes and an umbrella. It's not cold but of course some CUNTING FUCKING BUS HAD TO DELIBERATELY SPLASH ME on the way down then, SOME EVEN MORE CUNTING FUCKING CAR UNDERTOOK ANOTHER CAR ESPECIALLY TO ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY DRENCH ME on the way back.

I can imagine that excuse went down well with their wives. Sorry love, I'm calling from the pub, yeah, we're still here, we can't leave, got to stay here overnight, yeah, really bad, dreadful.
Wouldn't that be the best lock-in ever?![]()
