Floody Hell!

You might have seen the news about the floods.

This is what its like in Oxford.


















1. The view from Magdalen Bridge on Tuesday evening, the punts are trying to escape into the Botanical Gardens (big greenhouses on the right)

















2. River Thames trying to burst its banks onto Osney Island (yesterday)


















3. No shit Sherlock! (Just along the Botley Road yesterday)


















4. This gives a new meaning to the words water based astro turf! (Iffley Road, Oxford Uni Sports pitch, yesterday)


Now I'm alright cos I live in Headington which is up on a hill so if we ever flood then the rest of Oxford will be under about 50ft!
The city centre of Oxford isn't too bad, Christ Church College is getting a bit worried cos the water has started moving up the meadows but lets face it hell will freeze over before the big wigs at Oxford University let Oxford flood! ;-)

They'll be saying "sod the peasants! save the University" kind of thing.
