Water water everywhere

It's amazing how us Brits moan about the weather, however if we didn't have such changeable weather what would we talk about?
Saying that, the crappy weather today cost me £10. Had bought tickets for the 20/20 cricket (a bit like baseball, but interesting), thinking that a Saturday afternoon at the end of June might just have 3 hours of fine weather to get a game in, but the British summer(?) decided otherwise.
Just to prove how English I am though, rather than driving to ground to watch, stayed at home at watched the rain live on television.
It was either that or watching someone drive a flaming car into the terminal building at Glasgow airport. Yup, Britain is in the grip of terror again with two car bombs found and disarmed in London yesterday and the latest attack this afternoon, we are on full alert.
On a lighter note, when researching my previous entry about the two countries separated by one language, I found a link to YouTube and the unaired American pilot of Red Dwarf. Oh dear, they missed the point somewhat. Having been brought up on things like H2G2 and Blakes 7, Red Dwarf was a classic sci-fi comedy that was quintessentially English. Then again it works both ways, we've made dreadful versions of American programs as well.
Right I'm off to buy a canoe.
