Sahara Sand

Post by Kwacky »

So it's not enough we have to deal with the usual crap on the roads plus the winter dusting of salt we've now got our bikes covered in bloody sand?

Any chance of some normal rain followed by lengthy periods of sunshine?

It's all over our cars here, bit of dew and mist overnight and the windscreens looks as if the car had done a stage of the Paris Dakar. :^

Im just in SE London and its deffo a bit smoggy here. Then again I thought it was just the filth detaching from the locals around here as they shuffle along

The air in Wolverhampton today was even worse than usual. I had to shut the windows and put the aircon on in the car. Can still feel it now.

I don't mind the locusts. It'll save me a fortune in spider food and locusts taste nice deep fried with some sweet chilli sauce.

Got offered bugs-on-a-stick a few years back on holiday, one of those delicacies that are best left to desperate, vacuous celebs I discovered. (doh)
