issy2 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 HAHAAHAHAHAAA!!! The most hilarious thing happened today. Well, basically, my school booked two coaches to take us to Hastings, the Abbey, Bodium Castle, Senlac Hill...et cetera...et cetera. Anyway they were two hours late, 16 seats had no seatbelts, back row had nails in the arms, and six people were sick. (One down my trousers, nearly! Just avoided it...) So we decided to turn back; it would have taken like the whole day to get there, so it wasn't worth it. We'd been told we could re-enact the Battle of Hastings on the rugby pitch. More fun than French and double science, lol. Anyway so then we had PE, right, and in the Sports Hall we heard this ROOOOARRR!!! and CRRRAAAASH! and BAAAAAAANG!!! and WHOOOSH!!! and suddenly water just poured in from the balcony, through the railings and down onto the floor. The rain made tons of noise on the roof cos it was like weird stuff. Anyway so we got went out et cetera. THEN, we weren't allowed to leave the hall for about twenty minutes because it was so wet. Honestly, the water was about 20cm deep in some places, especially round the year7 block. So we RAAAAN to French, got soaked in the process, and arrived in the main building absolutely soaked. There were literally dustbins all through the school, collecting the water that was just pouring in. The library stairs flooded. The science labs got completely drenched. To get to half the school we (including boys and teachers) had to go through the girls changing rooms (which luckily weren't being used!) to avoid the huge literal rivers. All the drains were so full the rain was actually coming back up the pipes. The gutters were broken and there was just water everywhere...I spent about 5 hours in wet socks, lucky me. Anyway it was absolutely hilarious, but a bit worrying. My school is very, very safe, so I'm just wondering how much water got in. Was it due to the really heavy rain?! Because it's been raining alot recently in England, dunno about other places. So please share your wet experiences... :thumbsup: : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Today's been terrible. Football training has been canceled. It's not as bad as the south of England though, thank goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cadburys_egg Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Urk, I can't stand the wet. Mainly because of the time I played a round of golf through a thunder and hail storm. Last winter, November-ish. I had water proofs and an umbrella, but who's stupid enough to put up an umbrella in a storm, amirite? ;) Anyway, I still got soaked.

Hobgoblin11 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Lol, it's incredible how pathetically we English deal with non-extremities in weather. After any decent dry spell, everyone is crying out 'There's gunna be a drought!!' That didn't happen this summer, obviously! Then when we do get rain, buildings leak, roads get flooded, etc. I'm sure the Yanks over the puddle don't get this kind of disruption, and they get much more extreme weather than us! And yes, I live in Nottingham and it threw it down here today as well. 99/99 Fletching, 99/99 Cooking, 96/99 Strength Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoingUnder Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I live in north(west-ish) of England so the weather wasn't TOO bad .. but at one point it did start chucking it down .. I got absoulutely soaked just walking from the Language block to the ICT block. That's like .. 10 metre's or something.. The one major thing I hate about rain is that it ruins my hair .. :mrgreen: i am a paint noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aijiru Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 My school has those old heaters which work with hot water inside, and some students find funny to take out the screws and let the water go out and flood the classes... last year, six classes were flodded :? We were on Spanish class, and our new teacher was giving us some notes when suddendly the water started falling down from the maths class because there was a hole on our class's ceiling :lol: Currently having a break from sig-making...Join the campaign for more F2P bank space!Avatar by Born2die, tyvm!

I wish we had heaters like that at my school.. There'd be floods every day! My flood stories.. Well, a couple of years ago we had to pull off to the side of the road because it raining so hard and a creek has flooded and was roughly 100 yards closer to the road than it usually was.. And some idiot ran into the water and got pulled away.. I don't know if he lived or died but I felt bad for his dogs that went with him :boohoo: Internet Marketing For Newbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caligula101 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I live in the east of England, and today I cycled all the way to college (in the pouring rain) to discover my teacher was absent. So I cycled all the way home. Anyway as you were going to re enact the battle of hastings I wonder who was going to be the lucky one that was going to be shot in the eye with an arrow? :lol: It was the king right? Or am I thinking of a different battle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol there's 104 people in my year, 28 girls and 76 guys lol, so we probably would have more chance of getting good people to be...but anyway umm William Rufus (incidentally son of the Conqueror) was shot in the eye in Suspicious Circumstances by his brother Harry.

ThurinEthir Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Reminds me of the time that my sister's friend's brother's school's pipe broke, and everything got wet. For a rainy experience I'VE had, I have one word. Typhoons. I used to live in Taiwan, and I go back every few summers. And summers are when typhoons usually occur. So MOST years I go back, there are typhoons. This year, it turned out to be on the day my dad was going home (work...), and my mom, my sister and I were leaving our hotel and going to stay at my aunt's apartment. Lucky for us, the hotel wasn't too far away. But halfway there, it starts POURING. My mom decides that we should spend the rest of the day at a department store, clothes shopping. :wall: And I just remembered, last year, there was a pretty big problem with rain and sewers. My science teacher's house's basement was filled with dirty stuff...So we had a sub requently. I don't know if that was a good thing, or a bad thing...

I've never had the privlage of having a school of mine flood, lol. Only thing it did today is we had snow up here today (got about half an inch on the ground :D).

Pandaman115 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Went to an amusement park with some water crap guns. ANYWAYS!

Viktorkrum77 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I hope your school has insurance, that's as bad as sprinklers going off by accident, water does worse damage than fire if you ask me. Why didn't you go home early? Me doing staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
____ Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hm, worst wet experience... don't really have any. I like my rain and water. Back in '99 we got this HUGE storm, and I mean MASSIVE. The school grounds are really uneven, right. Like if one part floods, it's highly unlikely that another part will also flood. WRONG. It was impossible to get from any classroom to another without coming across at least 15cm of water across the pathway. But that's not the kick, next to the motorway there is a foot/bike path. And just before it goes under the train lines it dips down a bit (for water run-off from the motorway), and it looks kinda like this: Direction of travel ---> __ ___ ` ~ _ - ` ` - - ` ` -______- ` anyhow.. I always took that route home and when I go there on that day you could've sworn the path didn't dip down at all. since it looked more like this... Direction of travel ---> __ ___ ` ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ` And me being me, I was a bit... that's not too deep... and proceeded to ride my bike through it. If anyone wants to know what it's like trying to ride a bike when it's completely submerged, it sucks! Even when I stood up on the pedals, water was around my waist #-o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Strange, reallly. I mean, I'm aquaphobic, can't swim or be in water, but I absolutely LOVE heavy rain and being in it. It is, to me, so tranquil and relaxing! :D This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
