Rainfall figures for July make for grim reading with more on the way

The Irish are obsessed with the rain, they love it. I can remember an advertisment back in the eighties which went as follows. " What I miss about home, is the rain, the greeness and the pint of harp ". How many times have I met expatriated Irishmen who tell me that they miss the rain. The first ever Patricks Day parade in New York (circa 1760) which was started by the British Government for home sick Irishmen in the regiment, had artificial rain just to appease them. The Irish love it, look at all the ex pats in Bahrain fir example!!

Too bad you can't pack it up and send it to the American midwest. The farmers would love it and Eire could earn some foreign exchange.

washing all the crap of the elite away.
