In average it's even less than in Barcelona
But in Barcelona you get heavy storms 5 days a month, rather than lighter rain 10 days/month. Still a lot better than the average 15days/month in Manchester (August for all of them).

I think I'd rather live in Barcelona than Worthing
And I've not even been to Worthing.

Me too
If it wasn't for those silly catalans and their stupid "You're in our country, speak our language"; and the discrimination you get if you try to sort anything out in Spanish. And I was born there.

I was amused by the drain covers in Barcelona
Some of them have Spanish writing on them and some have Catalan.

And no, I don't know why I was going around reading drain covers...

In theory, everything has to be written in both languages
You get fined if you don't do it (shops, menus, prices...) However, the goverment always takes a lot longer (read: forever) to process the fines on busnisses (too many "s" there) that have everything in Catalan, but are terribly quick in charging you if you have something only in Spanish.

Were the drains Gaudí style or what?

Unfortunately not
I just noticed the agua/aigua difference initially!

Were you very drunk/stoned and everything seemed misterious?

I studied Gaudi in my history module of my degree
I like his park, I want to go there.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 15 Jun 2010, 9:34, Reply)

the park is ok
there were too many cunts there when I went, and the weather was shit.

His houses are awesome though, and la Sagrade Familia blew me away.

I agree with you
Although I've been in the park several times and when the weather is good, it's very nice. But I prefer the houses and the Sagrada Familia. It'll never be as he planned, though, some stupid people are stupid, and then the law is stupid as well and protects them. Stupid.

Well, what can we do
We are only public, and we know nothing.

BTW, I thought about you on Sat morning, having my croissant and café for breakfast in Nantes. It's lovely down there. And the bakeries are brilliant.

I was planning to take a picture, looking all smug and that
But forgot the camera all the 3 days for breakfast. You'll have to use your imagination.

I intended to recreate the smug man photo when I was on holiday
as we had a balcony type thing, but I forgot to buy croissants :-(

How sad
You'll have to go on holidays again, I fear.

This time tomorrow I will be leisurely packing for my 3 o'clock to Girona
By night time I'll be in a restaurant around Blanes stuffing my face with food and wine.

I'm not sure what you're doing there
But you might be dancing like in Andalucía, not Catalonia. They'll get very upset (I do) if you ever say that Flamenco is a Spanish thing, because it isn't.
