This has to be the worst summer in recent memory. On the positive side it hasn't gotten very hot, on the negative side it just keeps raining and raining. This has been killing my bike riding. I'm sitting here looking out the window and it looks pretty iffy. If it doesn't clear soon, it looks like I'll be heading off to the gym again to put my time in. I'm a long way from you, Tom, but you could be describing the weather here. There's an old saying that if it rains on Saint Swithin's Day (July 15th), it will rain every day for 40 days. I think we're into that this year!

Inspired (if that's the word!) by this thread, I walked into Manchester's largest HMV store this afternoon for the first time for many months. I found a shrunken jazz section with many items at £13-£18! Forget it!
