The rain in hertfordshire has been truly biblical in proportions in the last hour or so - cant quite believe how much is coming down. Its really noisy.
Still cant complain about watering....

I think you might have some trouble sourcing an adequate supply of Gopher wood

Monsanto have developed genetically modified gophers that are 25 feet long and can chop GM gopher wood trees at 50 board feet/ minute. You have to rent the gophers at an extortionate rate per day and you're not allowed to let them breed. Also, they die at the end of the season. Such are the wonders of modern agricultural science.

They can't go on an Ark, it has to be a maiting pair XX Jeannine

And don't forget the unicorn this time.

Gophers, being naturally native to the United States of America, and nowhere else, were not known to to Noah, or very probably at that time, even to the Lord himself, since every true historian knows full well that the creation of that part of the American Continent occupied by the United States resulted not from the handiwork of the Lord, but from the build up of the mountain of animal ordure that had to be shovelled overboard off the Ark to prevent it`s sinking.
It therefore follows that the use of any wood gnawed by gophers, 25feet long or otherwise, which were unknown to all material parties at the time would be completely in contravention of the direct and incontravertible orders given to Noah by the Lord, and any Ark so constructed would therefore be liable to immediate shipwreck.

But EU regulations at he time stated in the Gopher Wood (Animal Poo)( Disposal of) Act any Arc poo exported from the EU tothe US was liable to a VAT charge of 20%.
The US therefore owes us the VAT on 20 trillion tons of Arc Poo + 3500 years interst.

To those members who played truant during R.I. and Geography classes it must be pointed out that the Middle East, particularly that part inhabited by Noah and his family, has never formed part of Europe, or at any time become subject to the dictat of the Jackbooted Gauleiters in Brussels, whose limited (if any) authority arises from a 20th century Franco/German alliance (perhaps AXIS would be more correct) attempting to achieve by stealth and skulduggery all that Napoleon, Kaiser Bill and Adolph Hitler failed to achieve by force of arms.
Consequently, both Noah and the present Revolutionary Government of our late translantic colony would be perfectly entitled to raise two vertical digits to the EU

;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D
gwynleg - what have you started ;)

I would like to point out we only lent the colonies to the revolutionaries and will be back to reclaim them at some point.

It`s too late now. We should have acted at the time and put bromide in the tea for the Boston Tea Party. To reclaim our rightful colonies now would be akin to a struggling High Street shop foolishly taking back a bankrupt chain store which it sold off years ago. The mountainous debt problems resulting from their profligate life style since would sop up every ha`penny of our national wealth without even a minor burp.
Besides, we can be quite sure that should we even try such action certain members of our Brave New Coalition would immediately declare it to be illegal.

This thread has become so non PC that we might all need an ark to escape quite soon and rain will be the least of our worries.

Cornykev is home, hurray. We did have very heavy rain this week, good for the allotment. Hope you had a good holiday.
