DAMN! I wish I had money! I am in URGENT NEED of comfort shopping and think the time has come to get SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE to listen to on repeat. Shall I go to HMV tonight?

I like coming home when the birds are singing and it's not quite bright but kind of dusky.

That could be a lyric actually. but for who. someone bad.

no but *ahem* sorry Ronan. i wuv rainbows though FAT CHANCE of one of those around here, just the rain chiz.

― katie, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Thunder and Lightning! Forked Lightning is obviously the bestest but any kind will do if it's right overhead and very, very loud.
I like to imagine how damn scary it must have been for primitive folks!

Simeon is totally OTM. there's no real need for further debate really.

I suppose sunsets.

― Ally C, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― mark s, Monday, 18 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Great balls of fire!

I really love when it is overcast heavily in the late afternoon, but the clouds are local enough that the sun gets in strongly from the side only, and sheds this eerie light across the world. This is surely more common in tropical areas where the rain rolls in/out more suddenly.

It's such a pity you can't eat rainbows.

I just saw a rainbow outside my window at work. I love them so much, but trying to explain why always makes me sound like an unreformed hippy (which I am certainly NOT) so someone else can have a go.

Let's here it for your rainbow love.

I don't think it's particularly hippie to love rainbows... I love them because they are such lovely examples of SCIENCE and optics and metereology and all that.

― Atheist of Love (kate), Friday, 28 October 2005 09:59 (twenty years ago)

Yeh, but the reason I love them isn't any of that stuff, although all that is exceptionally cool. I love them cos they're so pretty! And ENORMOUS! (at least, they look it from down here)

I took this about 3 yrs ago out my work window.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:23 (twenty years ago)

Ha ha, that's excellent! If only Sun Systems could make rainbows!

― Atheist of Love (kate), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:24 (twenty years ago)

The funniest thing was, not long after I took that, Sun evacuated that building, oooerrr.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:25 (twenty years ago)

Oh no, the Sun has escaped! Better get all the computer geeks out before they lose their pasty white shine!

An emloyee set off the fire alarm before anyone else could find the CROCK OF GOLD.

The title of this thread is a kind of Rorschach test for ILXers — when you see it do you:

a) think the thread will be about rainbows

b) think the thread will be about Rainbow (Since You've Been Gone)

c) think the thread will be about Rainbow (Up above the streets and houses etc etc....)

― Hello Sunshine (Hello Sunshine), Friday, 28 October 2005 10:35 (twenty years ago)

well i thought b) first but then I thought no as it would've been posted on ilm. so yea i was struggling with a and c.

is that Sun System building made of pure gold?

― Ste (Fuzzy), Friday, 28 October 2005 12:33 (twenty years ago)

The last rainbow I saw reached the ground only a few feet in front of me - sadly, in the middle of a concrete pavement, so I couldn't try digging for gold.

There was a really bright (brighter than usual) rainbow out side our office couple of hours ago; every one darted to the window with their camera phones. From where I was sat, it looked like it was coming out of the new 40 storey Hilton hotel in Manchester.

Was v nice.

It was a double although sort of hard to see in the pic.
