Jealous. Bikes terrify me actually, I'd rather paraglide off a cliff than voluntarily get on the back of one
Still jealous though, coffee, tapas, bars...

Rowenna...I'll do you a straight swap...a weeks sunshine for, say...a week of showers (spread out over several weeks though, not all at once like usual please
Sorry, we dont do 'showers'..... thats just pointless really, its all or nothing - we'll swap a week of what we've had today (concentrated liquid of life) for 2 weeks of your sunshine. Deal?

ok, heres the plan - we go to war against spain with the help of France....get our sun back, share 50/50 with France...or so we say! We then accidentally throw this 'treaty' on the fire then go to war against France!! Its a win win situation! we get our sun back that we rightfully stole from Aus in the first place, we get to use and abuse a european country or two AND we have a barganing tool to use against australia for, um, er, something or another!
Who's with me?!!

Dear Soggy Austrialia,
I am sorry you are experiencing what we call "normal" weather. In fact, so normal, cars here do not have air bags, but life jackets under the seat instead.
The past 5 days here it has been dry 3 hours, 2 of which were dark. Our fields are under water, well, I think so, as we now have a lake where our field used to be.
Since Australia gets summers (and springs) where the sun is out for more than 4 hours and actually heats up, I will not be sending you any sun.
That is, if I remember what the sun looks like.
Yours forever,
Under water Island (formerly known as ireland.)

You have no idea how many british expats actually think this works!! Stood in the supermarket at the cheese counter, shouting at the girl in English, will NOT get you understood so don't get cross when you don't get what you want!! Annoys the hell out of me! Most of them have usually lived here for about a gazillion years too
ETA: Oh and hands off our sun

Hmmm yeah ok, fair point
But I don't want lots and lots of rain, just a little bit and you guys only offered all or nothing! I don't want lots because then my horse's field floods, my lounge roof leaks and I have to drive to work in the rain, through puddles and everything!!! It's just not good enough
A little bit would be ok though, just enough to clean the dust off my car so I don't have to wash it

I AM NOT IMPRESSED!!!
I go to bed hoping to wake to the sound of sun (i.e. scilence, the absence of driving rain) to find that not only is it still raining but you have signed a treaty with the French and delcared war on Spain.
All very well and in good English tradition, but you admit have admitted to theft and have no plans to return the even some of the goods!
Very poor form, play up!
What happened to the Spirit of the Commonwealth?
ChicoMio and B-84 que paso con un poco de generosidad? No puedo crer (lo siento mi ortographia es terrible) que te da demasiado lata compartir el sol con sus amigos 'down under'.
Enfys,
For want of a better offer I will take your snow, even if it does just go to slush at least it is pretty to watch fall!
Regards,
Soggy Aus.
I am giving up on you all and going to declare war
on NZ becasue:
A) They are closer
B) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=773aoMo7hPE
C) Rumor has it they have been stockpiling sun.

Oh yes please send the sun! This was the first wet winter I can remember and it seems to be lingering into our spring.
Although, give it a few months, and when it get's to 40+ degress C and then we will send the sun back
