Re: Terrible Floods in Cockermouth
My (Born Again) friend in Cockermouth has just sent me a text telling me that the miracle happened and her house and cellar were untouched by the flooding! She did also add that many of her friends from church have had their homes ruined! No irony at all!

Inside this fortnight's Private Eye, on page 5 (or '1' if their numbering system made sense), there's a photo of Brown visiting the flood zone - bubble caption "I'm after the floating voter"

Re: Terrible Floods in Cockermouth
Another 4 inches! As if the first 12 inches weren't enough!
(Sorry, been waiting since my PC died to use that one.)
Edit: Oh, fuck.
I don't believe I just said that.

Re: Terrible Floods in Cockermouth
Sympathies from an exiled Cumbrian. And to think I was bitching in an email home about how unseasonally hot it was here in Hong Kong while all this was happening. You live 25 miles away? If it's in the right direction you'd be mighty close to my home base when I'm back in the UK during the summer.Rum wrote:I live in Cumbria and the river here is very high! Cockermouth is, thank fuck, 25 miles from here.
And a small point of information for all the purveyors of jokes about the town's name: it's known as "Knob-a-Gob" locally.

The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle
Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing. [Macbeth]
