OK, maybe not [u]the[/u] God, but I have celestial powers. Where there is drought, I bring rain. Drought in the Sahara? A quick dash around the palm tree with a watering can and SHAZAMMO! The rivers shall flow with bountiful liquid!

This very eve, after bright blue skies had blessed us all the day long, a quick watering of the garden was in order. Five minutes later, my powers had turned the skies to black, and lo, the heavens did open, pouring forth upon tomato and runner bean alike!

Anyone else have such godlike powers?

I've left the house twice in the past two days. It's peed down on both occasions.

The lunchtime ride yesterday had hail too.

I can control the delivery time of any parcel, I simply leave the house and the package will arrive almost instantly.

I have that power too!

Also, back when I was a yoot, I could make a bus arrive at the stop instantly; simply by lighting a cigarette.

I can vacate the whole top floor of the house, by merely announcing the words "I'm going for a poo".

Tis not good. Can you stop it please?

I'm supposed to be going paddle boarding on the Tyne tomorrow. Can't see that happening if it is in spate. 🙁

My powers only relate to Biscuits. I seem to be able to make a whole packet of Choc Digestives disappear in seconds..

Maybe we should all club together and create a Team, you know like Agents of Shield have already done. 😕

is this admission some kind of euphemism for age-related incontinence?

I used the (Parcel) force. Shut my eyes really tight and summoned a delivery. Low and behold TWICE in one day. I was on fire.

I can empty any restaurant by remarking 'Its busy isn't it, we were lucky to get a seat' - by the time out meal arrives we'll be pretty much the only customers there.

I can do parcels. Either by sitting on the toilet or stepping in to the shower.

I'm obviously just a beginner in the great game of "Staying in and waiting for a parcel"

Bike out for a ride at the weekend. Nice enough day, do the washing first, hang it out and off I go. Does it rain? Nope, at least not till I'm 15 miles away and as far as I'm going to get from home, just turning into the return leg and....
And, if you want to speed through the supermarket checkout, just pick any till I'm not standing at

Dirk Gently once met such a rain god.

I have the power, when washing up anything my wife deems to be precious, to without fail break said item. For he possesses the strength to destroy fanciful wine glasses and cups depicting pugs in amusing situations.

Are you thinking of Rob McKenna? He met Arthur Dent, not Dirk.

Was he the lorry driver?
Could have sworn it was Dirk.
And I'd have been wrong too.

Anyway, I can make my partner talk for a full hour without repetition, hesitation or deviation by attempting to listen to The Archers Omnibus.

“And as he drove on, the rainclouds dragged down the sky after him, for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All he knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him, and to water him.”

this al-fresco eating malarkey really doesn't work in the British climate.

Ordered a pair of semi slick XC race tyres last week. Has rained every day since and the trails are now a bog again.
I'll be ordering mud spikes on Friday 😳

I too can control the rain, if I wash my car/bike/take the mudguards off/remove my mud tyres or anything similar, it belts it down for at least 2 days.

I seem to be quite lucky with parcels, if I dont need the item urgently the order arrives within 24 while I am in. If I need a part fairly quickly, it takes a week, 2 re-deliveries and a visit to the depot.

I walked to Waitrose and back this morning and didn't get wet.

I suspect the rain's saving itself for when I go out and ride later.

Ahhh, that satisfying moment of fumbling around in the dark and then jamming it straight in the right hole first time, eh?

Can be a bit awkward if you try to put it in the wrong hole, can't it?
