Singin' in the rain

Do love a drop of rain, that's a drop mind you not a torrential downpour, and especially not when on the sheikh Zayeed rd.

What a moments before had been the usual group of psychos, sunneymen and landcruisers quickly became the land of the dazed and seriously confused. Some tried to drive even closer, some almost stopped and put the hazards on, several skidded, one into the car in front, all pretty much as you would expect.

The biscuit today however was taken by the open top truck drivers.

Now I know you may have a load that doesn't like rain, and I know you couldn't be arsed (or possibly couldn't afford) to get a tarpaulin to cover the goods, but none of that gives you the right to stop THREE DEEP under a bridge in the middle of sheikh Zayeed Rd, yeah that's right taking up hard shoulder, lane one and lane two 8 trucks totally stationary, while traffic tries to get past in appalling visibility, just so the truckwits can try to keep their cargo dry.

It's a good job I don't have a gun....

On a happier note off to Wafi tonight for a bit of rooftop fun with the added spice of playing rain roulette.

Happy new year to all.
